2. develop in the students a high degree of competence in their chosen fields of specialization as committed professionals;
3. develop competence in all aspects of research directed to planning and development including special interest in the preservation, transmission, and enrichment of our cultural heritage, especially in Northern Luzon;
4. sharpen skills of critical and reflective thinking, inquiry and analysis;
5. foster awareness of the environmental, social, economic, cultural, political situations and problems prevailing in the communities of the region, the country and the world – through social analysis – and involvement in solving these problems in meaningful projects as responsible Christian citizens;
6. orient the students with the scientific and technological situations in the communities and in the process, clarify problems and issues which will eventually aid in the solution of the same; and
7. disseminate the research results for appropriate utilization.
