The Erie County Community College of Pennsylvania (EC3) Strategic Plan 2022-2025 represents the determination of cross-sectional stakeholders to clearly articulate the College’s mission, vision, and values as a higher education provider to the region, while simultaneously working to advance and streamline EC3’s accreditation process as a newly founded institution. It is a comprehensive road map that aims to build equitable outcomes and respond to personal and economic conditions for each of its students while committing to five foundational goals:
- Expand and sustain affordable access to post-secondary education

- Deliver high-quality instruction through academic excellence
- Provide workforce training in high-demand, high-wage areas
- Motivate and engage the community
This Plan aligns with the mission of EC3 to prepare individuals to succeed in a diverse, supportive, forward-thinking and innovative learning environment. The College will provide Erie County residents an affordable education through increased access to vital workforce and academic education options. These options include a combination of two-year degree programs, post-secondary career certifications and technical courses that prepare graduates to meet the critical needs of this region’s workforce and to achieve success in a complex global society.
