A. THE COLLEGE’S MISSION STATEMENT

Provide meaningful post-secondary education for students who are in the pursuit of individual and social goals, in the process developing a whole, balanced person in the community and, by extension the world

1. Vision

McCall College expects to become a leader in the successful preparation of students who want to pursue a two-year program. We expect our graduates to be recognized as a valuable asset for local and regional institutions. We expect our programs to be in high demand for those wanting to improve themselves and their communities. We expect our programs to be accessible and affordable to students in Central Idaho.

2. Values

McCall College values learner-centered education, an integrated curriculum, high moral expectations, mentoring, faculty with practical experience, hybrid (face-to-face and online) education, extensive ties to local institutions, and community feedback.

3. A Scholarly Cooperative Ethics model in Community

McCall College recognizes the need to develop the whole person in community. We see potential in a study, work, and service model. We need “thirsty” scholars with the right attitude who will thrive in an environment of appropriate expectations. We need mentoring by face-to-face instructors as well as the availability of online education. We need instruction that is practical, intellectual, and promotes integrity personally and in the community. We need cooperative students who support community activities. These students might work during the day to pay for necessary expenses, offer service to the community during off time, and attend classes during the day, at night, or on weekends. We need students aware of the human and social dimensions of personal integrity who live healthy lives in community. Our success will depend on our ability to incorporate all of these needs into a coherent, holistically-educated person.

4. Faculty Ethos

McCall College faculty believe in a collegial community of practitioners and scholars joined to pass on skills and knowledge to the next cohort of students.  We believe in helping our students excel in their chosen area of interest and the educational supports that allow for personal growth.  We will act with respect for students, each other and the administration that serves the college.  We will share the joys we encounter and the burdens we carry.  We will seek to make our neighborhood and world better by advancing knowledge and our fields of expertise and those interests that enhance learning by others.
