New York University

New York University's mission is to be an international center of scholarship- teaching and research defined by a culture of academic excellence and innovation. That mission involves retaining and attracting outstanding faculty- encouraging them to create programs that draw the best students- having students learn from faculty who are leaders in their fields- and shaping an intellectually rich environment for faculty and students both inside and outside the classroom. In reaching for excellence- NYU seeks to take academic and cultural advantage of its location in New York City and to embrace diversity among faculty- staff and students to ensure the widest possible range of perspectives- including international perspectives- in the educational experience.
