Our Vision and Mission
City Unity College’s mission is to provide modern academic programs that are results-oriented and that focus on the student’s needs, so that every graduate may aspire to become a competent and qualified professional, in today’s rapidly changing environment.
City Unity College was the first College to focus -besides the needs of young students- on the needs of working adults. We understand that you want more options, fewer hassles. That’s why we offer flexible, self-directed programs that fit your life and how you want to learn.
All of our students experience an urge; the desire for something more. Continuing education means different things to different people, and we’re open to your point of view.
Our programs are designed with one goal in mind: to get you everything you need to pursue the career you want and succeed.
“As we move forward with bold plans of Global Expansion and more exciting programmes, and by making accessible education a reality for anyone with the desire to succeed, our aim is to offer every student the opportunity to have a unique experience and unforgettable student years.” (CUCN President)
As mentioned above, CUCN focuses first and foremost, on students and their educational and personal well-being. CUCN takes into consideration the students’ education and students can contribute to the design of learning experiences through their constructive feedback and criticism. In this way, we are able to facilitate interactions among learners to promote and sustain sufficient learning.
