Institutional Mission, Purpose, and Objectives

The mission and purpose of William Howard Taft University, a private independent postsecondary institution, is to offer unique and innovative distance learning educational programs at a reasonable cost to qualified applicants, with a particular focus on those who are mature adults, employed on a full-time basis, or for whom place of residence, travel requirements, or finances are constraining factors.

The University is committed to providing a quality education responsive to the needs of society, now and into the future. Valuing the rich variety of cultures, races, ages, religions and ethnic backgrounds in the world today, the University seeks students from all regions of the United States, and English-speaking students from around the world.

It is an objective of the University to utilize advancing technologies in the delivery of its educational services and, when necessary, reject outdated educational standards if such standards are inconsistent with providing efficient and quality distance education programs.
