Specifically, the program department is committed to excellence by actively pursuing truth and knowledge through the teaching and scholarship of its faculty and students. The department is committed to the common good of society by addressing significant (and growing) societal issues. It explicitly recognizes the dignity and worth of every human being by focusing on prevention, resilience and holistic well-being.
