COLLEGE VISION
STATEMENT
The vision of
the College of Education and Human Sciences is to be consistently
recognized as a leading community that
1) develops collaborative, interdisciplinary, innovative leaders;
2) engages in scholarly inquiry that transforms practice;
3) enhances the human condition by working effectively with students,
clients, and families across disciplines and agencies; and
4) promotes social justice and equity in an atmosphere where diversity is
valued.
Liberal
Arts Principles: Professionals develop dispositions, knowledge, and
skills based on a sound liberal arts education.
• Liberal arts principles inform and enrich learning experiences embedded
in professional education and practice.
• The relationship between liberal arts ideals, personal fulfillment, and
professional competence is the foundation of professional performance,
citizenship, and individual actualization.
• Lifelong learning and professional competence are pursuits that span
each graduate’s entire career.
n Collaboration: Professionals collaborate to achieve a shared vision that
reflects scientifically-based interdisciplinary practice and public
policy.
• Professional competence is achieved when students are active partners in
the professional education programs that cross disciplines in cooperative
and shared study, service, and research to the maximum extent possible.
Social
Justice: Professionals transform unjust and oppressive educational,
social, economic, and political institutions into just and non-oppressive
alternatives.
Diversity:
Professionals value the unique cultural styles, interaction patterns,
and beliefs of every individual and empower people to socially responsible
self-determination.
Reflective
Practice: Professionals cultivate a presence of mind that emphasizes
continuous conscious analysis of values, assumptions, and strategies
underlying their practice and the consequences of that practice on other
human beings.

Criminal History and/or Caregiver Background Checks
Wisconsin law
requires that persons responsible for the care, safety, and security of
children and adults will be required to have background checks. In some
cases, placement into an externship, professional semester, internship, or
practicum will be dependent on the background check results. Course fees
will be assessed to cover the cost of the background check and results may
be shared with the practicum, professional semester, externship, or
internship site.
