COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS
VISION
Carrying students on their journey to become knowledgeable, well-rounded, and beneficial members of our society by giving them access to a demanding curriculum where they may see representations of themselves and their prospective life paths. We believe that our students will go on to be the leaders of tomorrow, striving for a more creative, inclusive, impartial, and sustainable future because we think that the knowledge and skills that come from a sociology education are a public benefit.
MISSION
In accord with the character of liberal education and the mission and vision of Valencia Colleges (Bukidnon), Inc., the College of Liberal Arts endeavors to provide students with a blend of academic and experiential learning, theoretical perspectives, and practical applications that will prepare them for a variety of pathways that involve research, writing, and critical thinking abilities while living life with a free and open mindset. Students who complete the program receive a rigorous education that prepares them to analyze social phenomena, institutions, communities, and cultures.
