The mission of Huron University College is to provide a university education of the highest North American standards through its undergraduate degree programs in the Arts and Social Science and its post-baccalaureate and professional degree programs in Theology.

The College seeks to attract the most qualified university applicants and holds as its principal academic objectives: to promote educational excellence, to encourage scholarly achievement, to foster international understanding and co-operation, and to provide its students with a broad and useful education that will develop their intellectual skills, enhance their desire for knowledge, and prepare them for positions of leadership and responsibility.

Huron welcomes all persons regardless of faith or denomination and aims to nurture a sense of community respectful of individual differences and responsive to individual needs; to support an active student life which encourages the personal and intellectual growth of its members; and, through its chapel and theological programs, to affirm its heritage as an Anglican college.
