Our
Mission
Claflin
University is an independent, liberal arts, co-educational, historically
black institution that is affiliated with the United Methodist Church.
It is dedicated to educational excellence and to preparing students
without regard to gender, race, religion or ethnic origin. It is committed
to offering quality undergraduate programs, select graduate programs,
and viable continuing education opportunities.
At the undergraduate level, the University
ensures that students receive a liberal arts education that is designed
to produce graduates who understand themselves, as well as historical
and social forces that impact the world. Their academic experiences
will include an understanding of religious and aesthetic values in a
universal context and a thorough grounding in their chosen discipline.
Their education will incorporate the use of technology, our exposure
to recent scientific developments, and inculcate critical thinking and
communication skills in order to prepare them for leadership and service
in a global and multicultural society.
At the graduate level, students are provided
instruction to enhance the analytical and comprehensive research acumen
necessary for professional growth and leadership. Continuing education
programs create avenues for students to complete their educational objectives
and develop skills necessary for contribution to their professional
and personal fulfillment.
Undergirding
