Philosophy and Educational Objectives of Graduate Study
As a liberal arts university, rooted in Judeo- Christian philosophy and in the Catholic intellectual tradition, Seton Hill is committed to the holistic development of students pursuing graduate education. By providing advanced study within a liberal arts context, Seton Hill University aims to contribute to the preparation of highly qualified professional women and men whose education will enable them to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century and enjoy fruitful personal and professional lives. Seton Hill University believes that the preparation of persons for specialized careers within a small, private institution permits greater attention to all aspects of individual development - intellectual, social, moral, aesthetic, and physical. It hopes in turn that these professionals will share their knowledge and talents with those whose lives they touch. In order to realize this philosophy, Seton Hill University expects all candidates for master's degree to achieve the following objectives:
- To become a reflective practitioner of the discipline being mastered and develop a professional philosophy which integrates theory, practice, research and methodology.
- To become a scholar-practitioner, analyzing, critiquing and evaluating the discipline, its current research, research methodology and the relationship between its theory and practice.
- To master the practical skills appropriate to the discipline, becoming effective and creative practitioners, capable of developing new knowledge in the field and applying it in innovative ways.
- To become a social change agent aware of one's personal value system and its impact on professional practice, as well as one's social responsibility to the profession and to society.
- To develop effective communication skills, including the ability to deliver clear written and oral presentations.
- To be aware of and able to apply ethical standards appropriate to the discipline.
- To recognize that a discipline develops within the context of a multi-cultural and pluralistic society, understanding the relevance and importance of social and cultural differences as defined by privilege and/or oppression.
