Our Mission, Vision, and Values

The pursuit of academic excellence and opportunity fuels Tulane University’s continued progress. The hallmark of a great university is its ability to build a community of scholars and students from a wide variety of disciplines, backgrounds, and experiences who converge to ignite discovery, advance scholarship, and experience transformative personal growth. This is the foundation of Tulane University’s academic excellence and opportunity, as well as the source of our positive impact on society. At the very center of our mission is a culture personified by every Tulanian— a compassionate, close-knit place for students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends. Our success depends upon our ability to grow and strengthen this community by attracting individuals from all backgrounds and experiences and providing each Tulanian with the opportunity to pursue their goals and aspirations and reach their fullest potential. In embracing these principles, we not only advance our mission as a leading research university but also contribute to a world where every individual can thrive.
