  • 2018-2019 Academic Catalog
    2018-2019 Academic Catalog The electronic Academic Catalog will be the official version for Coker College MISSION OF THE COLLEGE Coker College is a student-centered, comprehensive college. It is dedicated to providing every student enrolled in the Day Program and in the Adult Degree Program an academic curriculum based upon a uniformly excellent liberal arts core that enhances the structured development of key personal skills. The College’s goal is to graduate students with the ability to think analytically and creatively, and to write and speak effectively. Experiences both in and out of the classroom are focused on active student involvement and the practical application of academic knowledge that lead to lifelong learning. Coker measures its success by the personal and professional accomplishments enjoyed by all members of the academic community. The Coker College Mission Statement was most recently reviewed and revised by removing the phrase “baccalaureate degree granting” from the first sentence. The change in wording was first presented by the President to the faculty at a senate meeting on September 10, 2009. At the October 29, 2009 meeting of the Board of Trustees, the Chair of the Faculty and Educational Policy Committee of the Board presented a motion to change the mission statement and the entire Board unanimously approved it. [Board of Trustees Minutes 10-29-09] The College’s Mission Statement as revised in Fall 2009 is specific and appropriate to Coker College as the College moves forward with its Strategic Plan. 1 TABLE
