A recent $450 million capital improvement project has allowed us to create some of the best facilities for teaching and learning in the country. Our credits transfer to four-year universities for those pursuing advanced degrees. And our workforce development programs help individuals build new careers and meet the needs of businesses. In short, it is our mission to reshape futures.
