Mission Statement

The Mission of Tri-State University, a private institution founded in 1884, is to provide career-oriented higher education in the areas of engineering, business, arts and sciences and teacher education in a learning environment in which students receive personal attention through small classes and excellent teaching. The Institution's undergraduate and graduate programs encourage and foster lifelong learning that prepare graduates to be productive in professional-level positions early in their careers, to advance to leadership roles, and to provide service to society. The purposes of Tri-State University are as follows: I. to provide students with educational tools needed to develop careers of leadership in their chosen professions; II. to provide students with general education courses and activities that expose them to a variety of academic disciplines, broadening their cultural horizons; III. to provide students with continuing programs that respond to contemporary needs of businesses and industries in the community and region; IV. to provide students with opportunities to pursue graduate studies, lifelong learning and professional expertise; and V. to provide students with higher education designed to enable them to be contributing citizens of local, regional and international communities, primarily in the areas of engineering, business and teacher education.
