Roosevelt International University (RIU) is focusing on academic excellence, institutional governance, and transparency in communication as key pillars of its ongoing growth and development in Florida.
Recognising the need to create systems to underpin responsible academic activities, RIU has responded to the evolving expectations of students and the required skills of the working world. Development priorities for it are academic administration review, enhancing student services, faculty engagement and quality assurance.
RIU is located in St. Petersburg, and provides academic programs in several fields such as undergraduate, graduate and doctoral studies, ministry, theological studies and leadership studies. The University's approach to learning is a flexible one designed to suit the needs of students with varying learning goals and career aspirations.
Clear institutional communication is an integral aspect of the interaction between RIU and students and stakeholders. The nature of the academic programs, requirements for admission, institutional standing, and policies to which they are subject should be easily understood and accessible prior to making a decision about admission.
The Commission for Independent Education is a part of the Florida Department of Education (DOE) and is charged with independent postsecondary institutions in Florida. The commission's regulatory work is underlined by the licensing and institutional policy, administration, and consumer protection aspects.
RIU acknowledges that institutional authorization, licensing, exemption, recognition and accreditation are different processes or statuses. Statements of the University's status should therefore be backed up by the appropriate official documentation and should be as specific as possible and clearly indicate the authority and extent of the status.
The university sees quality assurance as an on-going process, not an achievement. An on-going evaluation process can enable institutions to address changing educational needs, administrative expectations, and student support needs.
RIU's ongoing evolution will help to reinforce its academic base yet will keep it focused on accountability, transparency and responsible education practices.
