Specifically, the College was developed to support new ventures, interdisciplinary programs of study, pursue innovative and entrepreneurial programs, promote lifelong learning opportunities, and to provide a number of University-wide functions. The educational programs offered through the college are tailored to the economic, social, and cultural needs of the University's constituents.
