,The Citadel’s Statement of Vision Core Values, and MissionStatement of VisionAchieving excellence in the education and development of principled leadersCore ValuesHonor: embodies adherence to the Honor Code of The Citadel. “A Citadel student “will not lie, cheat or steal, nor tolerate those who do.” The commitmentto honor extends beyond the gates of The Citadel and is a life-long obligation to moral and ethical behavior. In addition, honor includes integrity; “doingthe right thing when no one is watching.” Finally, honorable behavior includes exercising the moral courage to “do the right thing when everyone iswatching.” The Honor Code is the foundation of our academic enterprise.Duty: embraces the need to accept and accomplish the responsibilities assigned as a member of the campus community. Citadel students hold themselvesand others accountable for their actions, and put service before self.Respect: empathizes to treat other people with dignity and worth – the way you want others to treat you. Respect for others eliminates any form ofprejudice, discrimination, or harassment (including but not limited to rank, position, age, race, color, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, religion,physical attributes, etc.). In addition, respect for others means to respect the positions of those in authority that include faculty, staff, administrators, activeduty personnel, and the leadership of The Citadel. Finally, respect includes a healthy respect for one’s self.MissionAs a higher education institution, The Citadel’s mission is to educate and develop our students to become principled leaders in all walks of life by instillingthe core values of The Citadel in a disciplined and intellectually challenging environment. A unique feature of this environment for the South CarolinaCorps of Cadets is the sense of camaraderie produced through teamwork and service to others while following a military lifestyle.The Citadel strives to produce graduates who have insight into issues, ideas, and values that are of importance to society. It is equally important thatCitadel graduates are capable of both critical and creative thinking, have effective communication skills, can apply abstract concepts to concrete situations,and possess the methodological skills needed to gather and analyze information.Throughout its history, The Citadel’s primary purpose has been to educate undergraduates as members of the South Carolina Corps of Cadets and toprepare them for post-graduate positions of leadership through academic programs of recognized excellence supported by the best features of a militaryenvironment. The cadet lifestyle provides a structured environment that supports growth and development of each student’s intellect, character, discipline,and physical fitness; The four pillars which define The Citadel experience.A complementary purpose of The Citadel, realized through The Citadel Graduate College, is to provide the citizens of the Lowcountry and the State ofSouth Carolina opportunities for professional development by offering a broad range of educational programs of recognized excellence at both the graduateand undergraduate levels. These programs are designed to accommodate the needs of non-traditional students seeking traditional and demanding academicchallenges.Institutional Characteristics. The Citadel is a coeducational, comprehensive, public, four-year institution whose primary undergraduate student bodyconsists of approximately 2400 members of the Corps of Cadets, all of whom reside on campus. The primary service area for these students is regional,with approximately half of each freshman class coming from South Carolina. The Citadel, however, does draw undergraduate students from all parts ofthe United States and many foreign countries. The college offers a wide range of baccalaureate degree programs across five academic schools in thehumanities, social and natural sciences, business administration, engineering, and education. These academic programs prepare graduates for a variety ofcareers; about half of these graduates enter business and the professions, a third or more enter the military and government service, and the remainder godirectly into graduate and professional study. Many graduates choose to pursue professional or graduate degrees later in their careers.Through its evening undergraduate and graduate programs, The Citadel serves a degree-seeking population of approximately 1,300. Meeting the needs ofthe Lowcountry in terms of instruction, public service, and research, including such initiatives as cooperative programs with other educational institutions,is an important part of The Citadel’s mission.Together, the Corps of Cadets, the Transfer Program, and The Citadel Graduate College enroll approximately 3,600 students, about three-fourths of whom comefrom South Carolina. In its educational programs, The Citadel acknowledges and endorses the teacher-scholar ideal, recognizing that the excellence of allof its academic programs is dependent upon the quality of its faculty. This ideal manifests through teaching and lecturing, researching, writing, publishing,and public service. The Citadel’s faculty also address audiences beyond the College by sharing their knowledge with other scholars and with the public.6CGC Academic Catalog
