Research is a very important part of the basic mission of the University. New knowledge, new technology, and even new policies generated by research continually enrich and upgrade teaching in the academic programs.
Research is normally done in academic departments of the various units in the university. Research is also undertaken in special research and extension centers.
The University constantly strives to become an outstanding and relevant institution of higher learning and committee to provide the highest quality of advanced instruction, professional training, basic and applied research, and community service, and thereby produce outstanding scholars, practitioners and leaders in various fields.
