Our Mission and Objectives
Mission
A mission statement declares 'why' an organization exists, and is the
only foundation upon which a long-range strategic plan, the blueprint
for carrying out the organization's business can be developed. College
of Court Reporting's mission was initially developed when the CCR was
established in 1984. Over the years, it has been revised to reflect
changes in curriculum, graduation requirements, and accreditation
criteria. Changes include the emphasis on technology in court reporting
and word processing, and the addition of alternative careers for court
reporters.
CCR's mission emphasizes the standards of accreditation and approval
criteria of the National Court Reporters Association, American
Association of Medical Transcription, Accrediting Council for
Independent Colleges and Schools, and Indiana Commission on Proprietary
Education.
The mission of the College of Court Reporting is to educate students in
the fields of computerized realtime machine shorthand technology, court
reporting, realtime reporting for the deaf and hard-of-hearing, medical
transcription, administrative assistant, and word processing. Students
will have the education, skills, academic background, technical
knowledge, and hands-on experience required to enter a variety of
careers.
