INSTITUTION Yavapai Coll., Prescott, AZ. PUB DATE 2003-05-00 NOTE 257p.; Prepared by the Office of Instruction. PUB TYPE Reports Descriptive (141) EDRS PRICE EDRS Price MF01/PC11 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Community Colleges; Educational Research; Graduate Surveys; School Statistics; *School Surveys; Schools; Student Attitudes; *Student Characteristics; Student Surveys; *Two Year Colleges IDENTIFIERS *Yavapai College AZ ABSTRACT The Yavapai College Districts Board and members of Yavapai College administration and staff developed this report. It contains 12 statements that compromise the core outcomes of the Yavapai College Mission. The extent to which each college addresses these outcomes is then reflected in a series of indicators that are tied to the individual Community Benefits Statements (CBS). Some of the major CBS are student satisfaction, graduate satisfaction with preparation for transfer and preparation for career development, access to benefits of partnership, and the capacity to access information, expertise, technology assistance, and resources needed to be competitive in a global economy. Some of the major findings of the study are as follows:(1) over three fourths of Yavapai College students were satisfied or very satisfied with how well they were prepared for transfer;(2) the number of occupational degrees awarded has decreased; and (3) students expressed high satisfaction with college services. The study concludes that more detailed studies centered on any of the indicators and CBS would be beneficial to aid in better understanding the college's achievement, the achievement of individual programs, and creating specific subsequent action plans.
