What is an Educational Master Plan?

The Educational Master Plan (EMP) will provide vision, direction, and a defined achievable future for San José City College for the next 10 years by establishing specific goals and strategies for academic and career education programs, and student services. The EMP is a core component of integrated planning for the college and acts as the main plan for aligning the college's annual and operational plans, programs, grants, and initiatives to its mission, vision, and values.
