Boston University
Mission Statement
Boston University does not on principle have a formal mission statement or an explicit set of goals. We believe that mission statements, when not merely empty form, can imprudently narrow an institution's identity and purposes. Instead of a single codified mission, Boston University emphasizes the diversity of legitimate intellectual, educational and creative motives among its 15 Schools and Colleges offering programs to more than 29,000 students.
