- be prepared to learn and to be intellectually challenged;
- strive for excellence in their studies and seek to achieve high academic expectations in all of their courses;
- acquire an inquisitive mind; respect for human diversity and individuality; a sense of civic and global responsibility; sound ethical principles; effective writing, speaking, and quantitative skills; and a healthy lifestyle;
