Guiding Principles

  • We must maintain what is critical to facilitate attainment of the mission of WCU.

    • The West Chester University Mission Statement

    West Chester University, a member of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education, is a public, regional, comprehensive institution committed to providing access and offering high-quality undergraduate education, select post-baccalaureate and graduate programs, and a variety of educational and cultural resources for its students, alumni, and citizens of southeastern Pennsylvania.

  • The defining characteristic of the university's Plan for Excellence is Student Success within a climate that nurtures a diverse community of students, faculty and staff.
  • Elective accreditations have had a significant impact on the actual and perceived quality of WCU. Reductions should not compromise our ability to maintain these standards.
