Higher education is facing numerous challenges at this time, but with the help of the community, local businesses, alumni and other Mesa State supporters, we can ensure that this College, now a thriving four-year institution, continues to provide quality higher education opportunities to the people of our region.
Mesa State has been given the challenge of serving as the regional education provider for one of the largest, most picturesque and geographically challenging regions in the state. Our region is large not only in a geographic sense, but also in the diversity of educational backgrounds, incomes and access to technology. We must ensure that those in our region who want to pursue higher education can not only tap into our resources, but also afford to make their educational goals a reality. This will require creativity, hard work and determination. It will also involve engaging the entire Western Colorado community through online programs and distance learning, as well as traditional on-campus educational offerings.
Mesa State's unique mission of providing a wide-range of educational opportunities plays to the College's strength. Students can currently choose from a myriad of programs ranging from the one-year certificate to a two-year associate's degree to a bachelor's or master's degree.
Over the past four years, we've built on this mission and developed a new vision for Mesa State in collaboration with both the campus community as well as the much broader regional community. We fully understand that Mesa State College is part of the community, not just a community in and of itself. With this in mind, we ask for the continual input and collaboration of all College stakeholders.
Mesa State is Your College and we extend an open welcome to all to embrace this opportunity.
