Abstract

The study partook in the thematic analysis of the statements of vision, mission, and core values of the top 10 universities of Pakistan from their web pages. Statements of vision, mission, and core values were accessed from universities’ web pages. Thematic analysis revealed that some of the themes in their vision, mission, and core values were common among universities; and indeed, they reflected a good posture of Pakistani nationhood. Conclusions were that the universities had their mission to make their students have high moral values, develop research orientation among them and be capable of thinking in a critical and creative way. It is recommended that universities should clearly define themes for vision, mission, and core values on their web pages as well as in their prospectuses.
