Mission Statement

Northeast Texas Community College exists to provide responsible, exemplary learning opportunities.

Northeast Vision

To become a destination and learning community.

Northeast Texas Community College is committed to transforming the lives of our students through all means available.  Students will be challenged to acquire the values and habits associated with a post-secondary education. Students will be exposed to the world beyond their prior experience. The education provided at NTCC will be active, and require full engagement of both student and college. We will seek to make a fundamental impact on the mindset, worldview and aspirations of our students, through personal involvement between faculty/staff and students.

The college environment will encourage creative instructional approaches, particularly those that provide students with greater opportunity for direct participation in learning. Because we believe that transformative learning results in changes in behavior, the college will encourage personal responsibility, hard work, and accountability.

Creating a place rich in educational opportunity, in a global environment, will require significant changes from traditional classroom instruction. Many students will need meaningful work opportunities, travel opportunities, and small group learning experiences. Most will need intentional coaching which must begin even before they start their NTCC classes.

Rather than thinking of college as a place students go to listen to lectures and take exams, Northeast will become a community students join; a place of high expectations and high commitment among students, faculty, and staff. Just like you don’t join the Marines but you become a Marine; so too you don’t attend college, you become a college student. It must change you, as well as inform you.

In many ways this is the very same vision that guided the College from its inception. However, it is a time for recommitment, reengagement, and an intensive search for methods more effective today.
