UWF's mission is to provide students with access to high-quality, relevant, and affordable undergraduate and graduate learning experiences; to transmit, apply, and discover knowledge through teaching, scholarship, research, and public service; and to engage in community partnerships that respond to mutual concerns and opportunities and that advance the economy and quality of life in the region.

We are dedicated to both traditional and non-traditional students, and extend a warm welcome to the members of the military and their families who are interested in pursuing their educational goals.
