  • Anthropology
    COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF HIGHER EDUCATION 1 Statewide Transfer Articulation Agreement ANTHROPOLOGY Anthropology Chart Your Career Course There is more than one path to a fulfilling career, and the road to a bachelor’s degree can start at a community college. Colorado’s public colleges and universities have created a seamless transfer process that makes it easy and stress-free for you to design an education journey that will meet your needs. Select a 60-credit Associate of Arts (AA) or Associate of Science (AS) degree with Designation (DwD) program that aligns with your interests, with the guarantee that it will put you on the fast track to graduation if you choose to pursue a bachelor’s degree. Revised: June 2021 2 COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF HIGHER EDUCATION Statewide Transfer Articulation Agreement ANTHROPOLOGY Introduction Anthropologists put their endless curiosity to good use by providing unique expertise in addressing many of the challenges our communities face today. With their in-depth knowledge of humankind and deep understanding of how humanity has evolved over many centuries, anthropologists offer a valuable perspective on everything from public health concerns to longstanding issues of inequality. In an Anthropology program, you will learn how to identify and study how different cultures developed and changed with the passing of time. An anthropology degree aligns with a career in archaeology or paleontology but can also lead to opportunities in education, government, business, and several other fields. An associate degree in Anthropology can be a first step toward a role as a historic preservationist, market researcher, human rights advocate, or museum director.

  • July 13, 2020 Dear Senators Bennet
    July 13, 2020 Dear Senators Bennet and Gardner and Representatives DeGette, Neguse, Tipton, Buck, Lamborn, Crow and Perlmutter: We write to express deep concern about the recent Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) guidance to limit the ability of international students to choose the most appropriate course modality for their needs during the pandemic. This policy deprives our institutions of the flexibility necessary to make responsible decisions about reopening safely in ways consistent with our academic missions, student bodies, and campus and local public health environments. We urge Congress to ensure that the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of State allow any international student with a valid visa to continue their education regardless of whether a student is receiving his or her education online, in person, or through a combination of both, whether inside or outside the United States, during this unprecedented global health emergency. Higher education is America’s 4th largest export ahead of telecommunications and agricultural exports and behind only autos, planes, and pharmaceuticals. In Colorado, more than 11,800 international students attended Colorado colleges and universities in the 2018-2019 academic year contributing $470 million to the state’s economy and supporting 6,029 jobs. But, their contribution to our state far outstrips these simple financial impacts. International students are vital, active participants in the life of our campus communities. They enrich our campuses and our local communities by bringing with them creativity, diverse viewpoints, and bold ideas. The contribution of international students to the growth, development and competitiveness of our country is immeasurable. When they return home, they carry American ideals and values to every corner of the globe.

  • Matriculation Sub-Indicator Accountability & Data Analysis Unit
    COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Matriculation Sub-Indicator Accountability & Data Analysis Unit The purpose of this fact sheet is to provide an overview of the matriculation sub‐indicator including its basis in statute, source data, calculation method, recent/upcoming changes, and related frequently asked questions. Background The ‘Increasing Postsecondary and Workforce Readiness Act’ was signed into law on May 26, 2015. The legislation, HB15‐1170, was drafted to encourage matriculation of high school graduates into various post‐secondary opportunities including higher education and career and technical education (CTE) programs. In regard to district and school accountability, the law requires the inclusion of an additional matriculation sub‐indicator within the Post‐secondary and Workforce readiness (PWR) indicator of the district and school performance frameworks. This sub‐indicator was first added during the fall of 2016 and complements the graduation, disaggregated graduation, dropout, and SAT data. It reflects the percentage of high school graduates who enroll in a career and technical education program, community college, or four‐year institution of higher education during the summer of fall term immediately following graduation. Starting in 2018 other industry credentials have also been incorporated into the rates based on data submitted by districts on an optional basis. Calculation & Scoring of the Matriculation Sub-Indicator The overall PWR indicator accounts for 30% of the total points assigned to district and high school performance frameworks. The matriculation sub‐indicator accounts for two points of the eighteen points assigned to the overall PWR indicator (i.e. that are used to determine the 30%). This weighting was based on feedback CDE received from the Accountability Work Group, the Technical Advisory Panel for Longitudinal Growth, and other stakeholder groups.
