Strategic Plan

 

The mission of Ranger College is to transform lives and give students the skills to be a positive influence in their communities.

The Ranger College Strategic Plan is a document that outlines our vision, mission, values, goals, and strategies for the next five years. It is the result of a process that involved input from all stakeholders, including faculty, staff, students, and board members. The plan reflects our commitment to academic excellence, student success, equity, and social responsibility. The plan serves as a roadmap for Ranger College to achieve its aspirations and to better the lives of its students.
