As part of the Department of Physical and Applied Sciences, the mission of the ASC-Architecture / Construction Core program coincides with the entire Madonna University mission regarding career preparation, and service to others and society based on Judeo-Christian principles as advanced by the Felician Sisters. The ASC-Architecture/Construction Core program incorporates this mission while also making a strong commitment to liberal arts education.

Though focusing on science in particular, the sciences are taught with a global perspective, incorporating the role of The ASC-Architecture/Construction Core applications in social, environmental, ethical and human issues.
