Mission:

North Shore Community College is a source of hope and opportunity and a regional leader for social and economic change.

Blending tradition and innovation, liberal arts and career preparation, intellectual development and cultural and personal growth, we foster a diverse and caring community of learners where all are welcome and each is challenged.

We offer lifelong education responsive to changing community needs, a global economy, evolving technology and the shifting roles faced by individuals and institutions.

Our greatest contribution to the commonwealth is the success and achievement of our students.

Vision:

North Shore Community College will be a catalyst for personal, community and regional change through education, training and civic engagement.

The College will serve as a beacon of hope and opportunity for an increasingly diverse student body and be a respected, full partner with other public and private organizations seeking better lives for North Shore residents and a vibrant future for the region.
