Mission  
School mission Cogswell Polytechnical College has a long and distinguished history as a California institution of higher education. Continuously dedicated to preparing its students for success and leadership in the world around it, Cogswell has always been associated with best practice in the industries and communities it serves. Today, Cogswell's students are educated to enter into converging global industries in such fields as videogames, digital cinema, digital audio, digital animation and the engineering sciences and professions. This combination of the digital arts with engineering and technology, along with a broad foundation in general education, means that our students graduate with bachelor's degrees and move quickly into the world. The skills and attitudes they explore and develop here serve them well in professions that are changing almost daily. Cogswell's faculty members, most of whom have strong industry experience and connections, work hard to provide the finest possible academic programs. Our staff is committed to creating the best possible learning environment for our students. Our alumni assist us through internships, jobs, workshops and other bridges to industry. These dedicated people work together within a college that is small, specialized, and personal. Not only won't you get lost here, but you will find an environment that encourages your creativity and exploration, while providing you with first-rate teaching and technology. Yet even more than our great faculty or top-flight technology, we have an amazing group of students here at Cogswell. These dedicated, hard-working, focused students are gifted with stunning artistic, technological, and visionary talents. I know, because I teach a course every term and find my students smart, refreshing, and committed.
