Middle Georgia College - Archived Mission Statement
This mission statement was superseded March 2007. Current mission statement
Middle Georgia College is a unit of the University System of Georgia dedicated to providing a caring, dynamic, learning-centered, and technologically advanced environment of excellence. As a comprehensive and residential institution, the College pursues innovative opportunities to provide services to its traditional and non-traditional students primarily from rural areas of south central Georgia and will maintain a recognized legacy of affordable higher education and community support services of the highest quality.
The College provides a main campus in Cochran serving commuting and residential students. Its Dublin Center and other off-campus sites provide educational opportunities for those commuting students from central Georgia. These facilities meet the associate-degree and targeted baccalaureate degree level program needs throughout the regional service area. The state college provides access to higher education and undergraduate degrees that will address the economic development needs of Georgia's heartland, and, in limited cases, the economic development of the state at large.
Middle Georgia College, in order to fulfill its vision and mission, will commit to providing the following:
- A campus-wide commitment to student learning that is embedded in course and program design, teaching, achievement, and student development activities.
- The highest quality classroom and advanced distance learning instruction in all programs and at all levels.
- A welcoming campus community that invites and nurtures students from throughout Georgia's heartland and beyond and leads to a diverse student body.
- A continued offering of programs of excellence leading to certificate programs and associate degrees to prepare students for immediate employment and/or acceptance to baccalaureate degrees at Middle Georgia College or to other colleges or universities.
- Computer-assisted resources, services, and learning activities that enhance student learning, facilitate student success, and promote personal enrichment.
- A signature four-track program that is the only public curriculum in Georgia leading to selected baccalaureate degrees in aviation and flight management preparing students for careers or graduate work in that field.
The only four-year aviation degree program that collaborates with Commission on Colleges accredited technical college aviation programs, allowing those students to receive a baccalaureate of applied science degree in aviation.
