Overview
'Learn, Discover, Heal, Create And Make the World Ever Better'
'Meliora' has been the University's motto for generations of students, Alumni, and faculty members. In keeping with the University of Rochester's mission, the School of Arts and Sciences (SAS) and the Hajim School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (Hajim) offer undergraduate and graduate degrees, numerous co-curricular programs, and experiential learning that include research opportunities, internships, and community engaged learning. While intended learning outcomes vary across the many program offerings, the overarching learning outcomes distinguish the SAS/Hajim educational experience as a whole.
SAS/Hajim Learning Objectives
Undergraduate and graduate students in the School of Arts and Sciences and the Hajim School of Engineering and Applied Sciences pursue their academic goals in an environment designed to inspire, support, and empower them through a wide range of curricular, co-curricular, and experiential learning opportunities.
Student learning and engagement is central to success, fostering a sense of belonging to the University community and the greater community at large in which all students become innovative and adaptive lifelong learners. Through exploring, reflecting on and refining their own educational experiences, students develop into balanced, flexible, lifelong learners.
Continuing collaborations across SAS and Hajim serve as the cornerstone for creative, interdisciplinary and novel research, innovative educational practices, and inclusive community building in which all are respected, critical thinking is the norm, and interdisciplinary is commonplace.
