Welcome to College of the Mainland!
There are many wonderful things happening at COM this year! Your local community college now serves more than 4100 students in credit courses and another 4000 students in noncredit courses. We are growing!
In addition, there is a new sense of college spirit on campus. COM has adopted a contemporary new look to its publications, advertising and signage, and has adopted a new mascot. Students, alumni, community residents and employees all spoke "loud and clear" in the development of our new image, and we are proud of the results.
You will find many new programs and learning opportunities on campus this year. At the top of the list are new associate degree programs in teaching, Medical Information Systems, and Geographic Information Systems. Our Services for African American Students and Services for Hispanic and Latino Students have just finished their first full year of operation. A new grant has allowed us to create tutorial labs for math students who need remediation. If you need help with any part of the learning process, COM can help you!
To help assure your success at College of the Mainland, our support staff provides you with the best advisement, counseling, tutoring and career services available. Apart from the great academic opportunities you will find here, COM also introduces you to outstanding cultural and social activities such as plays, concerts, and multicultural events. All these events are designed to give you a meaningful, well-rounded education, and get you ready for your next step in life.
Welcome to your community college. We are excited to be part of your future.
