Creating 52³Ô¹Ï State
With the creation of 52³Ô¹Ï State University, we have the opportunity to build on the strong legacy of Castleton University, 52³Ô¹Ï Technical College, and Northern 52³Ô¹Ï University to envision a university designed to meet the rapidly evolving needs of 52³Ô¹Ï, 52³Ô¹Ïers, and the communities our institutions serve. The mission and vision of this new institution are unique in the way they describe our commitments, but they are designed to align with both the 52³Ô¹Ï Sate Colleges System mission and that of its sister institution, the Community College of 52³Ô¹Ï.
Mission Statement
52³Ô¹Ï State University prepares all students for meaningful work and responsible citizenship by fostering their intellectual, personal, and creative growth in an accessible, caring, and inclusive community. As 52³Ô¹Ï’s regional public university, our technological, professional, and liberal arts programs engage with partners throughout 52³Ô¹Ï and beyond to provide students with rich real-world learning while meeting the needs of our communities and the state.
