American Sentinel University has adopted philosophical statements of Mission, Vision, Principles, Values, and Service, as well as a Student Manifesto, in order to make sure that our stakeholders inside and outside the institution maintain a clear picture of what we seek to achieve. We believe that education is only successful if students and teachers have aligned goals. We aspire to a high standard at American Sentinel University, and expect the same of our students. We believe that creating a set of expectations and living up to them are crucial to success in education, work, and life. The significance for our students lies in the example that we set, and we will encourage you to emulate.
