·          Educate men and women to be conscious of their obligations to society, capable of functioning efficiently in today's globalized world.

·          Offer curricular content that contributes to the generation and transmission of knowledge, objective valuation of scientific knowledge, and the dissemination of national and universal culture, thereby promoting comprehensive personal development.

·          Establish connections with the international community, especially with academic institutions and organizations, as an essential element of university action in today's globalized world.

·          Cooperate with the national community in solving its problems and contributing to the nation's development through knowledge generation and transmission, the training of professionals and technicians useful to society, and preparation to meet socio-economic, ethical, and technological requirements.
