Campus Green Builder

The mission of Richland College is teaching, learning and community building. The institution serves primarily adult learners, in northeast Dallas, Richardson, and Garland, Texas. Courses, programs, and services are offered to enable students to achieve their educational goals and become lifelong learners and global citizens, building sustainable local and global communities.

As part of its commitment to environmental protection, the institution offers many courses that help students understand the challenges the planet faces and its role in our existence. For instance, an Ecology course emphasizes environmental awareness and knowledge with topics that include pollution, erosion, energy use, etc., while an Environmental Geology course educates about the earth as a habitat, with special attention to the interrelationships between humans and the physical environment.¹ Richland helps its students build their future through courses that could be applied to the first two years of a baccalaureate degree, one- or two-year certificates in a number of career fields, and training in the latest technologies for students who want to advance in their current careers.² Additional information on the academic offerings at Richland College can be found at http://www.richlandcollege.edu/divisions/.
