By reason of their voluntary participation in the activities of Hudson County Community College, the individual members of the College community share a basic educational philosophy.

Members of the College community subscribe to the fundamental position that a democratic society requires the
extension of some form of post-secondary education to virtually every member of the population.

In addition, they recognize that educational institutions serve the welfare of the broader society by preparing individuals to play effective roles as citizens and participants in the workforce.

Hudson County Community College is predicated on the assumption that there are vast numbers of county residents who are in need of the educational services the College can provide.
