Anthropology Program Mission Statement:
In taking as its broad scope the totality of human qualities and experience, the anthropology major at William Peace University seeks to promote in students a better understanding of and appreciation for human diversity, to develop a global awareness and conscience, and, as a result of its inherently interdisciplinary nature, to help students integrate their knowledge in the natural and social sciences, and the humanities. Anthropology’s emphasis on experiential, field-based learning will provide rich opportunities for student engagement, discovery, and adventure, and, thus, not only challenge students to become lifelong learners and pursue meaningful careers, but also to lead and serve others.

Criminal Justice, Political Science, and Pre-Law Program Misson Statement:
Challenging students to an adventure of intellectual understanding in the areas of criminal justice and the law for the purpose of developing responsible leaders and ethical citizens.

Global Studies Program Misson Statement:
The Global Studies Program engages students in the interdisciplinary study of the world so that they can find meaningful careers in a global environment, and can become more ethical global citizens and leaders.
