The college serves a diverse student body and emphasizes intellectual, spiritual, ethical, and social development alongside lifelong learning and service. Its mission focuses on developing competencies in critical and creative thinking across study areas, delivered through varied instructional modalities, and it seeks to inspire leadership and service within the community. Core values—Academic Excellence, Integrity, Perseverance, Social Responsibility, Tolerance, and Community Service—guide learning and campus life, while its vision envisions a creative, inclusive environment that produces purpose-driven and marketable leaders. In April 2026, Dr. SherRhonda Gibbs was appointed president, becoming the first woman to lead the institution since its founding.
