Provide excellent mathematics and science foundation courses for all RIT students and develop and support academic programs that will instill interdisciplinary inquiry and intellectual growth, and will prepare our graduates for careers in a rapidly changing global marketplace.
Build on our successes and develop and support active, world-class, cross-disciplinary research programs and centers of excellence that will attract first-rate scientists to RIT, provide rich, person-centered learning environments rooted in access and belonging for our students, and be supported by grants, foundations, and industrial sponsorship.
Promote, support, and enhance a vigorous, rewarding academic environment that fosters access and belonging, faculty and staff professional growth, job satisfaction, and impartiality for all members of the College.
Develop partnerships and outreach programs with business, industry, government, K-12 community, alumni, and other RIT academic units in support of the goals of the College and Institute.
