A Message from the President

On behalf of our faculty, staff and administrators, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to Los Angeles Mission College - bienvenidos! We are eager to support you and ensure that you succeed in achieving your educational goals.

The L.A. Mission family is eager to welcome you back to campus and return to in-person services and in-person classes. While the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have been devastating, we have learned some important lessons from the pandemic. For example, while some of our students prefer in-person learning, other students have tight schedules and prefer the convenience of flexible, online classes, which is why we will continue to offer both in-person and online classes.

Our dedicated faculty and staff are working diligently to determine the best way to support you and provide the resources you need to succeed. We also continue to expand programming that empowers you to find sustainable employment in rewarding industries.

We offer Certificates of Achievement and Associate Degrees in areas like Allied Health, Child and Family Studies, Culinary Arts, Digital Media, Informational Technology and Paralegal Studies. Additionally, we will continue to expand our adult education program, both on campus and at our off-site locations.

The Transfer Center is always ready to help you get on track to transfer to a four-year university. The Career Center can help you explore majors so that you can select a pathway to graduation, transfer and jobs.

The entire L.A. Mission College family is committed to your success. We continue to create new events and activities because we know that college is not just about studying, transferring, or completing a certificate. L.A. Mission College is where you get inspired and discover a greater you!

I wish you an exciting, productive and immensely successful time here at Mission.

Sincerely,

Armida Ornelas, PhD
