Mission  
School mission: Jacksonville University is a private, independent university offering comprehensive undergraduate and select graduate programs. Founded in 1934, JU still maintains a very personal approach to higher education with a 14:1 student/faculty ratio and a campus environment that emphasizes personal connections between students and faculty. JU prides itself on a nationally recognized teaching faculty including three state and one national Carnegie Foundation Professor of the Year award winners. JU's core curriculum combines a strong liberal arts foundation with pre-professional programs, undergraduate research, an emphasis on engaged learning, and leadership opportunities. Reflective community service is a core curriculum requirement for graduation. Many students are drawn to JU because of its beautiful riverfront campus near the heart of one of the country's most dynamic metropolitan cities.
