Alvin Community College is a public- two-year- comprehensive community college with a strong
educational heritage and a continuing emphasis on providing quality educational experiences for all
of its students. The College seeks to implement its philosophy by providing quality post-secondary

those who can benefit from them- as well as quality occupational/technical program opportunities
for area secondary students. The College also seeks to provide accessible educational services-
through varied formats and schedules and full- and part-time programs- which address a wide
spectrum of individual needs and abilities- along with educational programming related to the
economic and employment realities of the area served- and to offer expanded career options through
cooperation with industry- business- professions- government- and other educational institutions. In
addition- the College seeks to offer comprehensive programs which integrate communications- math-
science- humanities- interpersonal skills- and reasoning. Further- the College seeks to provide
students the opportunity to develop skills needed to enter and succeed in College programs through
continuing opportunities to extend and upgrade skills- knowledge- and interests; through testing-
evaluation- and counseling to allow students to make informed decisions regarding their abilities-
achievements- and behavior; and through experiences to develop personal- social- and cultural
dimensions. The College is accountable for its mission within the limitations of its physical and
financial resources.
