College Mission

East Los Angeles College empowers students to achieve their educational goals, to expand

their individual potential, and to successfully pursue their aspirations for a better future for

themselves, their community and the world.

In order to fulfill this College Mission, the college has developed four goals. These goals serve as the
broad planning objectives through which all other college planning documents and departmental plans
will be based. Together these goals provide a foundation for building a true agenda of student success.

Goal 1: Increasing student success and academic excellence through student-centered instruction, student-centered support services, and dynamic technologies.

Goal 2: Increasing equity in successful outcomes by analyzing gaps in student achievement and using this to identify and implement effective models and programming to remedy these gaps.

Goal 3: Sustaining community-centered access, participation, and preparation that improves the college's presence in the community, maximizes access to higher education and provides outlets for artistic, civic, cultural, scientific and social expression as well as environmental awareness.

Goal 4: Ensuring institutional effectiveness and accountability through data-driven decision-making as well as evaluation and improvement of all college programs and governance structures.

East Los Angeles College offers a comprehensive range of credit and noncredit programming that lead to transfer, degree completion and career technical certificates. The college programming includes Public Service Academies, which serve to provide ongoing training to the community’s law enforcement and fire protection agencies.
