General Education to introduce students to the humanities, the arts, the social and natural sciences, allowing them the opportunity for personal, intellectual and cultural growth; while providing oral and written communication, mathematics, critical thinking skills, and international perspectives necessary to succeed in life. Foundation Skills Program to provide students with the necessary capabilities in mathematics, verbal and written language skills, and study skills to successfully complete a certificate, degree, or transfer program. Economic Development to develop educational partnerships with business, industry, labor and government in order to offer programs for the working adult or those preparing for work, recognizing that the nature of work grows increasingly international in content and global in scope.
