Fredonia Baccalaureate Goals
Fredonia's mission is to ensure that all Fredonia students, utilizing knowledge developed through a broad range of intellectual experiences, will be:
- Skilled (develop Intellectual and applied Skills, Literacies and Knowledges),
- Connected (engage Community and Diversity: Local Stewardship, Global Citizenship),
- Creative (demonstrate Scholarship, Artistry, and Innovation), and
- Responsible (activate Sustainability, Ethics, Leadership, and Professionalism)
The Baccalaureate Goals Implementation Team and the Office of Institutional Research, Planning, and Assessment will oversee the implementation of the baccalaureate goals. Through a process of assessment and review, Fredonia will continually monitor the campus's progress in meeting these goals.

Academic Program and Course Selection
The All Programs section of this catalog lists the academic departments and the graduate and undergraduate major and minor programs housed within those departments. Students should check the online Course Offerings available during the pre-registration period each semester for an accurate list of proposed courses.
While the university guarantees each accepted student a full schedule of courses each semester pertinent to his/her academic objectives and in partial fulfillment of degree requirements, it cannot assure a desired time schedule, a preferred instructor, or a given course.
The university reserves the right to cancel any course for which the enrollment is deemed insufficient or for other administrative reasons. The university also reserves the right to change faculty assignments and therefore cannot guarantee students the faculty of their choice.
Advisement Guides, including general requirements, format of courses, and grading procedures, are available in department offices.
