continually strives to offer high-quality academic programs and learning experiences that reflect who you are, where you come from, and where you want to go
supports efforts and programs created to close equity gaps for Black and Brown students

Whether you are looking for employment advancement or completion of a degree with the goal of transferring to a 4-year college or university, we offer the path to your success. Our Instruction team of distinguished faculty, helpful support staff, and innovative administrators work together to create an exceptional student experience.

The Office of Instruction maintains a razor-sharp focus on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Social Justice, Antiracism and Accessibility (DEISAA) in all of its operations and decisions. We understand that integrating DEISAA into every aspect of our work benefits all students and our collective future.
