Neumann seeks to educate a diverse population of students in a scholarly, supportive, and caring environment.

The Neumann College community reflects the spirit and values of St. Francis of Assisi by developing a sense of responsibility which fosters and respects diversity. Implicit in the College's Mission is the responsibility to offer educational programs which anticipate and respond to the changing needs of society"
