Mission Statement

At Gulf Coast Community College, a comprehensive public institution, we provide high quality, affordable educational, training, and enrichment programs. We serve primarily the residents of Florida's Bay, Gulf, and Franklin counties. We take a positive leadership and partnership role to meet the changing needs of a diverse population of learners, working with local, state, and national entities to identify, prioritize, and address needs. Programs and services support the intellectual, educational, economic, environmental, and cultural development of our region. Our high standards foster a climate of excellence, and our open-door admissions policy provides access and opportunity to all. We create a supportive, personalized environment for maximum student achievement. To affirm institutional values, we dedicate our resources to five critical pursuits: (1) facilitating the learning of competencies that lead to associate degrees, (2) facilitating skill development for job entry and retraining, (3) facilitating development of basic skills, (4) nurturing democratic principles and practices, and (5) promoting personal, social, academic, cultural, and economic development. Committed to excellence, we serve a changing community by offering hope and enriching lives in an environment that cultivates learning.q
