Core Values

Bay Atlantic University aspires to provide education and scholarship of the highest quality — to advance the frontiers of knowledge and to prepare individuals for life, work, and leadership. Some of us make our contribution by engaging directly in teaching, learning, and research, others, by supporting and enabling those core activities in essential ways. Whatever our individual roles, and wherever we work within Bat Atlantic University, we owe it to one another to uphold certain basic values of the community. These include:

• Respect for the rights, differences, and dignity of others
• Honesty and integrity in all dealings
• Conscientious pursuit of excellence in one’s work
• Accountability for actions and conduct in the workplace

The more we embrace these values in our daily lives, the more we create and sustain an environment of trust, cooperation, lively inquiry, and mutual understanding — and advance a commitment to education and scholarship, which all of us share.

Furthermore, at Bay Atlantic University we believe that learning is not confined to formal instruction in traditional classrooms. The University deploys various distance learning and telecommunication methods to provide quality educational services worldwide especially for those who are unprivileged or traditionally undeserved.
