As a crucial part of our mission, Fredonia ensures that our majors and minors, our general education program, and many of our co-curricular activities provide a broad range of intellectual experiences, preparing our students to become:
- Skilled (develop Intellectual and Applied Skills, Literacies and Knowledges),
- Connected (engage Community and Diversity: Local Stewardship, Global Citizenship),
- Creative (demonstrate Scholarship, Artistry, and Innovation), and
- Responsible (activate Sustainability, Ethics, Leadership, and Professionalism).

This framework represents a shared, holistic approach that guides Fredonia faculty and staff as we work together to shape students' educational experience.
