Vision & Mission
Vision
As an international university, the Global Humanistic University (GHU) located in the Caribbean, will welcome thousands of students via distance learning. Higher education has great potential as a link between universities and society via distance-learning. The goal is about transformational journeys, empowering our students with the tools, attributes and opportunities to turn their potential into success.
Today students have grown up in a world where information is shared and interaction happens with ease over the internet. The potential for sharing information has changed research and created opportunities for new ways of collaboration often referred to as open science or open research. Such practices include the sharing of data and drafts before publication, open notebooks, and open access to publications. New generations of students will increasingly be familiar with models of blended learning with online content. These increase new possibilities for academic dialogue and self-guided online learning will enhance the abilities and the independent graduates. Students enjoy mobility between different sectors of the economy through placements or through HE programs with private sector companies.
We are a global university and like our home, Anguilla, reflect its diversity and share its internationalism, from the different cultures and communities of our students, to our academic partners in the Caribbean, South America, and around the world.
Everyone who has a PC and Internet should have the opportunity to study affordably whenever, however, and wherever he/she is living round the globe.
Mission statement of the institution
The GHU aims to empower its students and provide them with the necessary tools for a practice-based, logical, and critical way of thinking to help them navigate through information and knowledge and to turn their potential into success.
The Global Humanistic University’s mission is to produce a global community of students and researchers who will make vital and lasting sustainable contributions to the economic, cultural, and social well-being of the societies in which they live and work. Bearing in mind the fact that the university’s main objective is to shape the future of professionals through its own unique approach and teaching methods, the goal is ultimately the self-realization of each individual student.
