Mission College is committed to providing our students with the foundation they need to succeed in higher education. Our programs and services foster reading, writing, communication, math and study skills. Teaching basic skills requires us to work together across departments, disciplines and services.

(to achieve competency in basic skills)
Philosophy Example: Ohlone College • Everyone is capable of learning. The program strives to prepare students to: • be effective citizens in society; • broaden their multicultural understanding and perspectives; and • find direction and improve the quality of their lives. • Furthermore, the program fosters cross discipline learning and increased opportunities for student success through a variety of educational experiences. The program values educational research and incorporates best practices into instruction.
