As the newest community college in the CUNY system, Guttman’s mission emphasizes student success as manifest in learning and degree completion.

Academic technology is particularly emphasized in the delivery and assessment of student learning and advising. Faculty collaborate in an interdisciplinary environment as part of a first year instructional team, and in a limited number of Programs of Study, rather than traditional academic departments. In addition to teaching, appropriate service is an important component of expected faculty effort.
