Our nation is faced with the presence of
unforeseen vulnerability and the recognition that now, more than
ever, there is a need for global interdependence. Our knowledge of
the international scene and a global understanding of issues of the
world must become the focus of the University’s educational
co
mmunity. Fayetteville State University will distinguish itself in
the preparation of leaders in all disciplinary fields who will
compete successfully in our global economy, who will demonstrate 21st
century global competencies and educate its students to be
personally and professionally successful in the 21st
century. In order to do so, we enhance the global competitiveness
of our graduates. The University prepares the students by equipping
them with them with the tools they will need to adapt to the
ever-changing world. Fayetteville State University programs,
especially
research programs, are globally competitive to ensure
that they are globally relevant and significant. Fayetteville State
University has increased partnerships between its own campuses and
international universities and enhanced global awareness of its
faculty and students. It is very important that students and
graduates of the University have the capacity to function and
compete in a complex and increasingly interdependent global
community.
