The Goals of Duquesne University: Moral and Spiritual Values

Academic Excellence | Moral and Spiritual Values | An Ecumenical Atmosphere | The Spirit of Service | World Concerns | The Mission Continues

Although education is the key to achieving our Mission, the dissemination of knowledge is only the beginning. We proclaim our education not only to be one of the mind, but also one of the heart and soul. Therefore, Duquesne seeks truth and shares knowledge within a moral and spiritual framework. We manifest our freedom to explore values in all academic areas so that our future leaders will be distinguished not only by intellectual achievement and professional skills, but also by their ethical and spiritual sensitivity to the needs of society.

These graduates are prepared to face new ethical challenges that have emerged at the dawn of the 21st century. In addition to incorporating ethics education into each program of study, Duquesne houses the Beard Center for Leadership and Ethics as a resource for present and future professionals. Through speakers, seminars and other innovative programs, students and corporate clients learn that sound ethical decisions are crucial for the success of our economic system and for personal and professional integrity. Duquesne University promotes the integration of personal and professional values through all of its educational initiatives – a sound strategy for helping to build a more responsible society.
