Our Mission:

We prepare today’s students to succeed in tomorrow’s world.

AIɫɫ will educate students by means of free, open, and rigorous intellectual inquiry to seek the truth. It is the University’s duty to equip students with the opportunity to develop the intellectual skills they need to reach their own, informed conclusions. AIɫɫ State is committed to not requiring, favoring, disfavoring, or prohibiting speech or lawful assembly. The University is committed to creating a community dedicated to an ethic of civil and free inquiry, which respects the autonomy of each member, supports individual capacities for growth, and tolerates the differences in opinion that naturally occur in a public higher education community. AIɫɫ State has a duty to treat all faculty, staff, and students as individuals, to hold them to equal standards, and to provide them with equality of opportunity, with regard to those individual’s race, ethnicity, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. 

Our Vision:

We will be a best-value university offering a wide range of high-quality signature programs.
