Metropolitan Community College Mission Achievement Plan 2025-2026
The Metropolitan Community College outlines its Mission Achievement Plan (MAP) to deliver relevant, student-centered education to a diverse community of learners. Guided by the 'One MCC' vision, the plan focuses on four key priorities: enhancing student success by removing barriers to completion; strengthening partnerships and programs to engage the community, students, faculty, and staff; achieving operational excellence through revitalized systems and infrastructure; and ensuring future stability and growth by implementing strategic enrollment and facilities plans. The ultimate aim is to facilitate timely program completion, successful transfer to four-year programs, and placement in relevant living wage jobs.
