Why is it important for colleges to have a mission statement? It is important for college universities to have mission statements because it indicates what the college academic policy offers students. Mission statements should provide the organization’s purpose and sense of direction while making the university look attractive within the organization to incoming students.

No matter how caged we feel by these marginalized ideas, should we always abide by the accepted, filtered system?
