Mission
College of Alameda’s mission is to meet the educational needs of its multicultural and diverse community by providing excellent comprehensive and flexible programs, including basic skills, transfer and occupational programs, which will enable each student to achieve his/her own unique goals.
As a publicly supported community college, College of Alameda makes available college courses, many transferable to meet lower-division university requirements, at a moderate cost to students, $26 per credit as of fall 2009. The college’s relatively small size allows students to benefit from closer contact with instructors and fellow students, and to become more individually involved in campus life and student activities. Personal, academic and vocational counseling services are available to all students. Other student services include financial assistance, tutoring, health services, job placement and various student activities based at the Student Center.

Famous quotes containing the word mission:
“The mission is too important to allow you to jeopardize it.”
—Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)
“Not in vain is Ireland pouring itself all over the earth. Divine Providence has a mission for her children to fulfill; though a mission unrecognized by political economists. There is ever a moral balance preserved in the universe, like the vibrations of the pendulum. The Irish, with their glowing hearts and reverent credulity, are needed in this cold age of intellect and skepticism.”
—Lydia M. Child (1802–1880)
“I cannot be a materialist—but Oh, how is it possible that a God who speaks to all hearts can let Belgravia go laughing to a vicious luxury, and Whitechapel cursing to a filthy debauchery—such suffering, such dreadful suffering—and shall the short years of Christ’s mission atone for it all?”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
