Mission Statement
Gordon College joined the University System of Georgia in 1972 as an associate level institution with a distinctive legacy of excellence in scholarship and service. From its founding in 1852, Gordon has grown and changed, not only in response to, but also in anticipation of, the educational needs of its community. Gordon's scope of influence now extends beyond the surrounding areas to include the rapidly growing suburban areas south of Atlanta, east of Columbus, and north of Macon. A community in flux, this area of Georgia is rich in diversity and reflects extremes in economic and population growth which demand a mission that includes focused two-year professional offerings, the traditional pre-baccalaureate curricula, and baccalaureate offerings targeting needs of the area. Gordon College fully serves the community by providing educational and cultural opportunities both within and beyond this area. The mission of Gordon College, therefore, is to:
-
prepare students for transfer into and success in baccalaureate and professional degree programs through the college transfer program;
-
prepare students for entry into and success in specific occupations and careers especially demanded by the surrounding community through appropriate Associate and Baccalaureate programs;
-
strengthen the academic skills of students otherwise unprepared for entry-level college work through the Learning Support program; and
-
serve the community by providing opportunities for life-long learning and professional development through community service programs.
