1. to support students in their desire for higher education.

This is accomplished:

- by quality academics that equip men and women for careers through dynamic programs that combine the strengths and philosophies of both European and American universities - a solid theoretical foundation with an emphasis on practical applications and implementation. Upon graduation the student will possess the necessary academic and practical skills to immediately launch into a new career.

- by preparing students for a broad range of environments and situations from both the national and international perspectives. As a result, students are challenged to grow in the needed skills of entrepreneurship, innovation and creative thinking.

2. to enable students to become responsible, self-thinking, initiative and co-operative leaders and experts.

This is practically implemented:

- by fostering an academically honest environment free of corruption and bribery. Teachers, staff and students act with integrity, communicate respectfully, and accept responsibility for our words and actions. In addition, a variety of student support systems are offered such as student counseling, housing assistance and academic advising

- by strongly emphasizing oral and written language skills in all of our courses. Students become proficient in Albanian, English and German. All courses require the student to implement basic writing and speaking skills through the use of essays and presentations. In addition, through group discussions and presentations, students develop social and professional interaction skills that are needed for a successful career. The final term for both the Bachelor's and Master's degrees requires the student to complete an internship and written thesis under the supervision of a faculty advisor, a practical capstone to our programs. Upon graduation, our students are skilled communicators, and very attractive to prospective employers.

- by esteeming very highly biblical values (e.g. compassion, forgiveness, respect, integrity, honesty, commitment, etc.). These values are imparted to the students by means of the body of knowledge transmitted throughout the academic curriculums and by means of the lifestyle of the teaching and support staff. In turn, our hope is that students will recognize that such values are an essential component for the spiritual formation of every individual, the basis for academic success, and necessary for the healthy development and stability of the society, which continues to be in transition.

3. to facilitate the educational process through dynamic and quality programs.

Our academic programs are characterized:

- by effective teaching methods that integrate superior student-centered teaching into all of our academic programs. This is realized by small classroom sizes, the continual development of excellence in the classroom by the teachings staff, the use of state-of-the-art technology in the classroom, the vigorous engagement of students in the classroom and other learning environments, and the accessibility of faculty to students.

- by service. We at Nehemia University are committed to forming partnerships that address regional and national problems and needs. We also encourage the members of our teaching and support staff to be involved in the community. Likewise, students are encouraged to be active citizens in their respective communities.

4. to cooperate in research projects with other institutions.

Our teaching staff is committed to:

- scholarship and research. Excellence in teaching at the university level depends upon active scholarship and research by the teaching staff. Nehemia University expects that each member of its teaching staff will be professionally active. This may include scholastic activities such as involvement in professional organizations, the collaboration of faculty and staff with students, business, government, other academic institutions, and community organizations. It also may involve basic and applied research, or a form of artistic expression. Such scholarship and research activities create the basis for our dynamic academic curriculums.
