Mission Statement
The mission of Anamarc College is to prepare learners for a diverse competitive workforce in the Upper Rio Grande Region with high levels of educational excellence.

History
Anamarc was founded by Ana Maria Piña Houde, PhD, and her husband Marc Houde. The history of Anamarc Educational Institute began long before its actual doors opened on April 3, 2000. It began with a vision of incorporating basic skills training and the necessary educational elements for developing a new kind of skilled employee. The closure of numerous manufacturing industries in El Paso, Texas, coupled with the growing demand for professionals in the information, service, and healthcare industries motivated the founders to develop an educational model to serve these needs.

Today, Anamarc is a fully accredited college which has expanded its program offerings from diploma programs in the areas of medical assistant, medical billing and coding, administrative assistant, phlebotomy technician, nursing assistant, and vocational nurse to associate degree in business management and associate degree in nursing to help graduates become registered nurses (RN). Anamarc strongly believes in graduating individuals in occupations that are in high demand and will remain sustainable in the job market. Such is the case for all of the healthcare occupations offered. Currently, graduation rate is approximately 83% and job placement rate is 90%. An estimated of 2500 professionals have graduated from our programs. Anamarc College is also a family owned and operated business with Dr. Piña Houde as Chief Executive Officer and husband Marc Houde as Chief Financial Officer of the corporation. Together they share the vision, unify strengths, and strive for excellence for the El Paso Community and look forward to the continued preservation, renewal and reinvestment of the core strengths of Anamarc College.
