Rapid Growth – 1/3 of States Offer CCBAs
National View of Community College Baccalaureates Over 20 state - nearly 100 CC are offering about 900 baccalaureate programs across the country Fall 2019 Sinclair - unmanned aerial systems Niche degrees local workforce need skills /desire to advance into a supervisory level. Expanding CC mission to serve the needs of their local communities. A review CC bachelor’s programs constitute less than 10% of their overall program offerings. CCBA 2017
Why the BAS Builds on foundation of technical degree, work experience or apprenticeships Focuses on “application” not just theory Is an adult learning model Prior Learning Assessment allows credits to be earned from non-traditional methods 60 – 60 – 60 instead of 90-90 or straight 180
What are Guided Pathways ? “Highly structured, coherent educational experience that is built around and through an area of study” AACC 2014 “An integrated , institution-wide approach to student success based on intentionally designed, clear, coherent and structured educational experiences, informed by available evidence, that guide each student effectively and efficiently from her/his point of entry through to attainment of high-quality postsecondary credentials and careers with value in the labor market.” CCRD and AACC Pathways Project 2017
Guided Pathways Institutions Three design principles : Attention to the entire student experience A framework for helping students choose, enter, and complete a program aligned with their goals for employment and further education Starts with student end goals in mind and “backward maps” to ensure preparation for success at next level
Guided Pathways dimensions and practices Clarify paths to student end goals Program maps (to completion, further education, and employment) Establish transfer pathways Help students choose and enter a pathway Accelerated bridge programs “On-ramps” (integrate and contextualize instruction) Help students stay on path Academic and non-academic supports Ensure that students are learning Integrate learning outcomes, internships, and applied learning experiences
Pillars of Guided Pathways Clarify Path Entering the Path Stay on the Path Ensure Learning
Clarifying the Path Provide Detailed Information on Career/Employment Map Core Courses, General Education Courses to Sequence and timing Align Associate Degree and Work Experience/Journeywork/Military Service
Starts with Exploration Program Design Outreach and orientation Assessment Connect Financial services Try – A - Trade College credits Stackable Credentials Supportive services
Entering the Path STRENGTHENING CONNECTIONS WITH ASSOCIATE DEGREES, APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM, MILITARY TRAINING, CORPORATE TRAINING ROBUST STUDENT INTAKE AND ADVISING CLEAR AND CREATIVE TRANSCRIPT EVALUATION CONTEXTUALIZED AND INTEGRATED ACADEMIC SUPPORT
