Mission Statement

Wor-Wic is a comprehensive community college serving the residents of Worcester, Wicomico and Somerset counties. The college provides quality postsecondary credit programs leading to an associate degree, a certificate of proficiency or a letter of recognition, as well as documents of completion for community and continuing education courses. Its open door admission policy and comprehensive student support services enable Wor-Wic to provide educational opportunities for those who have the desire and ability to benefit from its courses and programs regardless of age, gender, race, color, religion, national origin, marital status, sexual orientation or disability. The college provides its courses and programs at a reasonable cost, with funding from its supporting counties, Worcester and Wicomico, and the state. Special state legislation permits Somerset County students to attend Wor-Wic at the in-county tuition rate. Wor-Wic was founded as the postsecondary educational link between individuals with educational needs and the needs of employers in the service area. The college is proud of its collaboration with the elementary and secondary schools in its service area, with which the college has numerous articulated programs and strategic initiatives to provide access to higher education for all students. Wor-Wic partners with its university counterparts at Salisbury University and the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, providing seamless linkages for students who start at the community college but wish to go on to earn baccalaureate degrees.
