Mission statement

Kellogg Community College is a public institution of higher learning which shall provide academic, occupational, general, and lifelong learning opportunities for all people in its district and contiguous service area. The College shall maintain close ties with community-based organizations and business and professional groups; exercise a leadership role in the educational advancement of the area; promote innovation and preparation for change; and provide support and assistance in economic development activities.

The institution shall provide a comprehensive range of curricula, courses, activities, and services, limited only by the responsible management of its financial, personnel, and physical resources.

Recognizing the variety of experiences and needs of individuals seeking to expand their knowledge, the College shall maintain an open-door admission policy and shall not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, marital status, sexual orientation, age, or disability. To assure that admission means an opportunity for success, the College shall provide a planned program of recruitment, assessment, academic advising, and, if needed, basic academic skills.

Many students who are working, raising families, and meeting other commitments do not plan to complete their courses in a specific length of time. Kellogg Community College students are encouraged to pursue their objectives at the pace that works best for them, whether it be in two years as a full-time student or one course at a time.
