Getting InPresident's Welcome
Welcome MiraCosta College Students
Welcome to a new academic year at MiraCosta College!
Each year brings new opportunities for a brighter future. Whatever your academic goals, MiraCosta College offers it all: associate degrees, preparation for university transfer, career and workforce training, basic skills, high school diploma, and more.
As a prospective transfer student, you’ll find that MiraCosta College prepares you to succeed at the university level. Our first-rate instructors provide a challenging and welcoming learning environment, while our student services staff ensures that you have the support you need to succeed. Most of our lower division courses transfer to UC, CSU, and other public and private institutions, delivering an excellent value and return on investment. Last year, MiraCosta College graduates transferred to nearly every UC and CSU in California and to private colleges and universities throughout the country.
If you are here to seek new job skills, we offer the training you need. The slowly recovering economy has many students searching for a new career and you can begin right here. The college has strong partnerships with local business and industry that have resulted in innovative programs that lead straight to local jobs and well-paying careers.
Meanwhile, our active student clubs and leadership programs on campus enrich the academic environment and provide you an opportunity to explore careers, serve the community, and meet new people.
We stand ready to help you reach your academic goals. As the father of a recent MiraCosta College graduate, I know that my daughter is well prepared to take the next step in her academic journey, and I am confident that MiraCosta College can do the same and more for you. Academic excellence and a bright future are within your grasp—begin now!
Best wishes for your success,
Francisco C. Rodriguez, Ph.D.
