Office of Instruction
Welcome to Coastline College’s Office of Instruction!
We are here to serve and support you as you progress through your academic journey.
The Office of Instruction keeps your academic goals at the forefront as it:
- 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
- supports faculty through professional development focused on culturally-relevant and anti-racist learning environments and curriculum
We are here to meet you where you're at and support you towards the fulfillment of your personal dreams and professional goals. 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.
