“Our top priority is about helping our students find a career path to earning a living wage,” says Dr. Robert Garza, president of MVC. “Sometimes that’s a certificate program or additional classes that allows them to enter a new career field. Or, it could be taking core classes in preparation to transfer to a university for their four-year degree. We are all about giving students the skills they need to take care of themselves and their families.”
MVC offers a range of degree and certificate options, with everything from an Associate of Applied Sciences in welding to a nursing degree. Recently, the school reached enrollment of more than 10,000 students for the first time in the college’s 48-year history. This huge accomplishment showed the impact and reach that MVC is having on its surrounding community.
