IV. DESIRED STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES
As Lee’s mission statement indicates, “The foundational purpose of all educational programs is to develop
within the students knowledge, appreciation, understanding, ability and skills which will prepare them for
responsible Christian living in a complex world.” Lee’s core competencies call for “the integration of faith and
vocation through the practice of ethical action, redemptive service, and responsible citizenship in the church,
the community, and the world.” The primary goal of Lee University’s QEP is to create pathways which will
facilitate students’ integration of faith and vocation across the curriculum in order to achieve the missional
purpose of responsible Christian living.
