A Filosofia dos cursos da Faculdade Nacional – FINAC – é a de buscar uma educação integrada à sociedade. A instituição estará sintonizada com essa sociedade no sentido de perceber seus anseios, suas demandas e suas alternâncias de percurso. A Integração escola-sociedade não significa que a FINAC será mera receptora de problemas ou fornecedoras de soluções, mas, principalmente, deverá ser uma gestora de idéias e de conhecimentos que contribuam para mudanças sociais.
Um outro aspecto importante dessa filosofia é a valorização da cidadania, de buscar formar cidadãos conscientes e ativos, comprometidos com sua história e com a sociedade, buscando sempre melhorá-la, através de ações e posturas ética.
Um terceiro aspecto é a crença na ação transformadora do conhecimento. Um bom profissional deve possuir, além dom instrumental de seu ofício, uma sólida formação científica. Mais ainda, essa formação técnico-científica não deve se esgotar no curso de graduação. A competência científica e profissional é um projeto para toda a vida. Se o aprendizado contínuo já podia ser encarado como um pressuposto básico do bom profissional, ele se tornou um fator de sobrevivência de qualquer profissional neste mundo globalizado, complexo e competitivo em que vivemos, com suas constantes mutações tecnológicas e sociais.
