Ashland University's academic mission emphasizes the importance of both a solid grounding in the liberal arts and the development of professional competencies and skills. This balanced educational experience is focused on the individual student in a way that has been a strong hallmark of an Ashland education for many years. In addition, the University takes seriously the spiritual, ethical and value dimensions of learning that will assist students in making the difficult choices they will face in a complex and rapidly changing world. The academic experience at Ashland University is enhanced by several factors: 1) the individual attention provided to each student; 2) a unique blend of the liberal arts with professional curricula; 3) the practical internships, field experiences and service learning opportunities available in almost every field of study; and 4) its holistic approach to educating the student. The student-faculty ratio of 16-to-1 means students receive the individual attention essential for educational growth. Classes and labs at Ashland are taught by professors, not graduate assistants. Because the faculty are teaching oriented, they spend whatever time is necessary to ensure that students attain a quality education. Ashland is proud if its outstanding faculty members, many of whom are recognized nationally and internationally as authors, performers and educators. Several professors have come to Ashland after years of work experience in their areas of instruction. This experience is invaluable when relating the career to students and brings more of the real world outside academics to the classroom that does teaching strictly from a book. |
