ACU's 21st Century Vision calls the university to produce Christ-centered global leaders who will make a significant difference in our constantly changing society.
The entire Honors process — course by course, year by year, with the support of friends and
mentors — nurtures students to fulfill their potential as:
Honors graduates use their intellectual and social gifts to achieve influence in the service of Christ.
Honors students will know how world view and choice are shaped by social and psychological forces; how their own temperament, heritage and experience shape their perceptions and values; how religions, especially Christianity, have shaped and been shaped by civilizations and societies, how economies, political systems and ideologies evolve and function.
Honors students will value justice in the biblical sense; education and security for all; discernment; and personal and corporate integrity.
Contributors with a zeal for community:
Honors graduates use their gifts as dynamic national and global citizens, servants and stewards.
Honors students will demonstrate the ability to analyze social forces in a country they have visited; to analyze social forces they observe during service-learning; to learn from history.
Honors students will value the common good; self-fulfillment through seeking the common good; the nurture of communities such as families, churches and cities; stewardship of nature, of heritage and of biblically informed Christianity.
Thinkers with vision: Honors graduates are liberally educated, integrative and imaginative, using their gifts as researchers, entrepreneurs, creators or innovators.
