2018 - 2020 Hostos Catalog

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Greetings:

The Eugenio María de Hostos Community College Catalog is your introduction to an institution that has been transforming lives since 1968.

Working toward a degree represents a long-term commitment to yourself and your family. Our catalog is an essential guide to planning a degree program. It contains step-by-step information on how to apply for admission, sign up for placement exams, inquire about financial aid, and register. Furthermore, if there is anything you don’t quite understand, it will tell you where to go or whom to call to have your questions answered.

As a student at Hostos you will also benefit from our many support services, such as the “Student Success Coaches,” tutorial services, and one-on-one mentoring. “Success Coaches” are assigned to all entering freshmen and continue supporting them until graduation. Members of the counseling staff are also available to discuss any academic and personal issues that may arise. We encourage students to use all of Hostos’ personal, technological, and institutional resources to help them graduate.

We are actively committed to your success in the classroom and in the larger world. We are ready to help you develop the skills you need to achieve success in the workforce or for a baccalaureate program at a four-year institution. Alternatively, our continuing education and workforce development programs can provide personal development in an area of particular interest, be it through a single course or by obtaining a certificate that can lead to a rewarding career and greater earning power.

If you are looking for an institution of higher learning where you can achieve your full potential no matter your starting point, Hostos is the place for you. We are committed to you, and I wish you all the best on your educational journey.

Sincerely,

David Gómez President
