NEUST VISION
The recognition of the University as the educational leader in science and technology in Region III managed by committed and ethical public servants where:
1. A culture of excellence, high ethical standards and solidarity thrives and prospers in each of the Universitys academic and administrative departments and
units; and
2. Each college/institute/campus is a center of development and excellence in instruction, research, extension services, production, sports and cultural
development, transforming students, alumni and other clientele into high quality, competent and ethical leaders, professionals and/or middle-level manpower
in the fields of sciences, technology, education, management, arts and technology-based education and training.
PANANAW
Ang pagkilala sa pamantasan bilang nangunguna sa agham at teknolohiya sa Rehiyon na pinamamahalaan ng gma lingkod-bayang nagtatalaga sa sarili at
may mabuting asal, kung saan ang:
a. kalinangan ng kahusayan, mabuting asal at pagtutulungan ay nananatili sa bawat kagawarang pang pamunuan; at
b. bawat dalubhasaan, kampus ay sentrong kaunlaran at kahusayan sa pagtuturo, sa pananaliksik, sa pagpapaabot serbisyo sa labas ng pamantasan, produksyon,
isport at pagpapaunlad ng kalinangan upang mahubog ang mga mag-aaral, ang mga nagtapos na, at iba pang kliyente upang maging mahusay na
tagapamuno, propseyunal man o batikan, katamtamang antas pang-kamanggagawa, sa laranagan ng agham, teknolohiya, eduakasyon, pamamahala, sining at
makabagong edukasyon at pagsasanay.

NEUST MISSION
1. To primarily provide advanced instruction, professional training in arts, science and technology, education and other related fields, undertake research and
extension services, and provide progressive leadership in these areas.
2. To offer graduate, undergraduate and short-term technical courses within areas of specialization and according to its capabilities, considering the needs of the
province, the region and the country.
MISYON
1. Makapagbiagy ng makabagong paraan ng pagtuturo, dalubhasang pagsasanay sa sining, agham, teknolohiya, edukasyon at iba pang kaugnay na larangan.
Magsagawa ng panananliksik at pag-aabot serbisyo sa labas ng pamantasan at makapagbigay ng mahusay na pamumuno sa mga larangang ito.
2. Magbukas ng kursong pang-paaralang graduado, pang-batsilyer at pinaikling kursong teknikal na naaayon sa kakayahan batay sa pangangailangan ng
lalawigan, rehiyon at bansa.
