The Mission of IMPAC University

To achieve this mission, individual and organizational needs are met through:

• Programs and curricula designed to teach the knowledge, skills, and attitudes essential for individuals to function successfully in multiple roles;
   
• Distance Learning, site-based, and residential opportunities where tradition is challenged, the status quo is questioned, and change is implemented; and,
   
• A commitment to promoting only the highest standards of a University in an atmosphere of cooperative and collaborative learning.

IMPAC University develops both its academic curricula and its training programs using the strictest standards of quality education and state-of-the-art business practice. The University's academic curricula include Masters degrees in Business, Organizational Behavior and Human Resource Development, and Management Information Systems, as well as certificate programs in Business Administration and Management Information Systems. Continuing education opportunities are also offered in areas that promote success in business.

Training Programs for organizations are custom designed and focus on practical applications of much needed business skill sets. With knowledge emerging as a primary source of capital in the business world, the investment in lifelong learning and skill development is imperative to an organizations success and survivability. As Partners in Learning, IMPAC University identifies the knowledge, skills, and competencies necessary to improve an organization's "knowledge capital," and then designs effective interventions that provide a measurable and sustainable return on investment.

The IMPAC University Concept

At IMPAC University, business is conceptualized as a universal activity that spans many arenas including education, health care, the military, politics and government, public service and the private sector.

A unique holistic model of education has been developed based on recommendations and observations of successful business leaders. This model interweaves three basic constructs throughout the curricula:

• First, principles from traditional business, behavioral science, and technology are integrated to meet the complex demands in today’s business world.

• Second, a broad range of areas is explored in each curriculum. Topics related to politics, literature, art, culture, and history, etc. are examined to build a strong foundation from which critical thinking and conceptual skills can be strengthened.

• Finally, each program emphasizes physical and emotional fitness. Students are exposed to personal growth areas such as stress management techniques, self-reflection exercises, communication and presentation exercises, and sports activities to increase the agility of the mind and the body.

Flexible Tailored Learning

IMPAC University is committed to meeting the educational needs of business. To this end, we help corporations determine educational and training needs that are consistent with their corporate mission and strategic objectives. We then tailor curricula to address these needs.

IMPAC University recognizes that knowledge has emerged as one of the primary sources of capital in the business world. Accordingly, the competence of the workforce is essential in maintaining a competitive edge in the business world. IMPAC University is dedicated to increasing the “Knowledge Capital” of business professionals and corporations.

Additionally, IMPAC University provides education in multiple formats so that individual learning style is matched with course delivery. Courses are scheduled to fit into the lifestyles of busy business professionals. Flexibility and responsiveness to corporate needs are key elements in the IMPAC University approach to learning.
