The mission of the Office of Academic Affairs at Clayton State University is to provide excellent educational experiences that will prepare students for success in their careers and for graduate school.  In approaching its mission, the Office incorporates five common elements in all of its programs and services:

·         recognizing and responding to the increasingly global context of contemporary life;

·         promoting community-based, experiential learning to create durable and meaningful connections between education and all other aspects of life;

·         focusing on continuous education and growth as a result of ongoing assessment of learning; and

·         developing among its constituencies an understanding of advanced uses of modern technology.

The Office is committed to expanding the University’s educational offerings to include additional bachelor’s and master’s degree programs.  Clayton State University values the diversity represented in southern metropolitan Atlanta.  To this end, the Office of Academic Affairs is committed to highlighting global perspectives throughout its programs and services.  The Office operationalizes its mission in large part through a continuing investment in faculty development involving emerging disciplinary areas and instructional techniques.
