Mission Statement

Eastern Shore Community College believes that all individuals should be provided a continuing opportunity to develop and extend their skills and knowledge and to cultivate an awareness of their roles and responsibilities in society. The college is committed to providing leadership in identifying and addressing both the needs of individuals and economic needs, including workforce development needs, in Accomack and Northampton counties. In pursuit of this purpose, the college has adopted the following set of goals: * Offer a comprehensive array of financially accessible, high quality educational programs through the associate degree level. These programs provide opportunities, which prepare students for entry into other programs, careers, or transfer to baccalaureate degree programs. * Provide appropriate, adequate educational support services including, but not limited to, student development and learning resources center services. * Identify those cultural and economic needs of the community to which it can appropriately respond through education and training programs. * Provide continuing education, workforce training, and community service programs to allow individuals to continue and expand their learning and cultural experiences. * Cooperate with, and support, local, state, and federal government, local business, industry, the professions, and public and private groups to address regional needs
