Institutional Learning Goals

The EPIC learning goals guide each student's academic journey at Rochester University and support the mission by emphasizing preparation for professional and personal success. EPIC stands for Exploring, Preparing, Integrating, and Calling. The EPIC learning goals, detailed below, provide a framework for all curricular and co-curricular offerings at Rochester University. Through these goals, students continually engage with God's world, gain experiences, knowledge and skills, and develop pathways to purpose and meaning. The result of this work is well-educated and compassionate graduates who can change their lives and the world for the better.

Rochester University's EPIC learning goals are:

Exploring: Students will broaden their understanding of the world in its beauty, diversity, and complexity.

Preparing: Students will acquire knowledge and develop skills to serve in their neighborhoods, organizations, and businesses.

Integrating: Students will connect and apply knowledge and skills to their personal and professional lives.

Calling: Students will discern what God has called them to be and do.    

These EPIC learning goals provide a framework for all curricular and co-curricular offerings at Rochester University. Furthermore, Rochester University uses these learning goals to continuously evaluate and improve programs through ongoing assessment of student learning.
