Mission  
School mission: Eastern Connecticut State University is Connecticut's public liberal arts college. As a predominantly undergraduate university, Eastern attracts and welcomes a diverse community of learners, supported by a teaching faculty, staff, and administrators, and a residential campus, all of which promote intellectual curiosity, integrity, and social responsibility. In its role as a public university, Eastern develops students who can become productive, engaged community leaders. Eastern also serves as a social, cultural, and economic catalyst for the region and the state of Connecticut. All Eastern students, independent of their majors and career aspirations, share a sequenced, interdisciplinary curriculum that serves as a liberal arts foundation. Students apply a broad range of theoretical approaches in a variety of active learning settings to cultivate the knowledge, skills, and perspectives necessary to prepare them for their personal, professional, and public roles. Eastern's programs in the arts and sciences, teacher education and professional studies prepare students for careers or advanced study while providing them with the lifelong skills and confidence needed to succeed in a world of constant economic, social, and technological change.
