About the Division
The mission
of Northern Virginia Community College is "to respond to
the educational needs of its dynamic and diverse constituencies
through an array of comprehensive programs and services that
facilitate learning and workforce development in an environment
of open access and through lifelong educational opportunities."
The Communications
Technologies & Social Sciences Division attempts to fulfill
that mission within the applicable college goals of
-
providing a diverse, highly qualified,
energetic, and dynamic faculty and staff dedicated to and
enhancing student success;
-
developing and acquiring adequate fiscal,
capital, and community resources and to using those resources
efficiently and effectively to provide the physical environment
and tools necessary to assure student success; and
-
providing an instructional program that
is accessible, affordable, and educationally sound and that
supports the needs of a diverse student body and enhances
student success.
The persons
most responsible for our success are our clients — our current
students, our potential students, our business associates, and
other administrative units. We as educators are here to provide
a quality product that meets the expectations of our clients
and that allows them to achieve their desired goals, whether
they want to transfer to a university, gain employment skills,
upgrade their current skills, or just learn something new. We
strive to meet these goals by providing the highest quality
of instruction in credit programs, noncredit programs, and student
services; responding to changes in technology, regional demographics,
and educational needs; and ensuring that individuals have the
opportunity to develop and enhance their skills, knowledge,
and values. |
