The faculty offers excellent undergraduate programs leading to bachelor's degrees as well as graduate education leading to master's degrees in most fields. It expects to offer PhD degrees in selected fields in the future. The faculty builds its choices on areas of excellence as it develops its resources.

The faculty considers research to be an essential element of faculty activity. Quality research is encouraged and supported to maintain the highest standard of education and to attract outstanding faculty and students. The faculty also emphasizes the importance of high-quality teaching and continuously monitors teaching effectiveness. Student advising, another important faculty duty, is crucial to the proper running of its liberal arts program.

To achieve excellence in education, the faculty continuously revises its curricula, enhances its different academic units by assessing their needs for equipment and research facilities, and concentrates on recruiting and maintaining prominent faculty in all professorial ranks. The active engagement of all its academic units in achieving its goals is vital for the lasting success of its three major areas of study: the humanities, the social sciences, and the basic sciences.
