Philosophy of Teaching and Learning

Bellin College faculty are facilitators, role models, and resources in the learning process that provide an environment that supports a diverse student population in pursuit of excellence in education by assisting students to develop critical thinking skills with a commitment to the College values of Excellence, Integrity, Community, and Caring.

The relationship between teaching and learning is a dynamic process of discovery attained through interaction and engagement. While faculty members implement cooperative teaching strategies in partnership with students to achieve program outcomes, students share the responsibility of achieving their learning goals through participation in the education process.  As co-creators of their learning, students have a responsibility to develop a scholarly approach to learning through assimilation and integration of new knowledge, utilization of technology, and life experiences.

Graduates of Bellin College are prepared to function in leadership roles and affect social, ethical, political, and economic issues surrounding healthcare.
