***Draft: Do Not Distribute*** Merced College Program Investigation: Real Estate Spring 2014 Program Overview In accordance with Title 5, Section 51022, “…College districts are required by current regulation and statute to develop a process for program discontinuance and minimum criteria for the discontinuance of occupational programs.” A program is defined as “…an organized sequence of courses leading to a defined objective, a degree, a certificate, a diploma, a license, or transfer to another institution of higher learning” (Title 5, Section 55000). The President of the Merced College Academic Senate asked the Office of Grants and Institutional Research (OGIR) to identify some quantitative statistics for the Real Estate Program to further inform a discussion on program discontinuance. The Merced College Real Estate Program was first approved by the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office (CCCCO) in 1966. According to the Merced College Catalog 2013-2014 (p. 239), this program prepares students for the examinations for the California Real Estate Salesman’s and Broker’s licenses. The program covers real estate principles, real estate practices, legal aspects of real estate, real estate finance, real estate appraisal, real property management, and escrow procedure. Both an Associate of Arts (AA) and a Certificate in Real Estate are currently offered. Core courses for the Real Estate Program for the both AA and the certificate include the following: • ACTG-04A: Fundamentals of Financial Accounting –or- • ACTG-51: Applied Accounting • BUS-18A: Business Law • CPSC-30: Computer Applications • REAL-42: Real Estate Principles • REAL-43: Real Estate Practices • REAL-45: Real Estate Finance • REAL-46: Real Estate Appraisal • REAL-48: Real Property Management • REAL-49: Escrow Procedure According to the Merced College Catalog 2013-2014, ACTG-04A “…provides the student with the knowledge of corporate financial statement reporting and the ability to analyze the reports of a corporation.” ACTG-51 emphasizes “…a preparer approach using manual accounting methods, and comparing them to current computerized accounting.” BUS-18A studies “…legal principles that govern the conduct of business.” CPSC-30 provides “…an introduction to application software used in the workplace with emphasis on business situations.” Page 1 3/6/2014 2:42:38 PM REAL-42 studies the “…principles of real estate in California, history of California real estate, property, contracts, agency, listings, real estate financing, deeds, liens and encumbrances, escrows and title insurance, land descriptions, real estate mathematics, and real estate licensing and state regulations.” REAL-43 analyzes “…problems related to establishing and conducting a real estate business…” REAL-45 is “…a practical applied study and analysis of money markets, interest rates, and real estate financing.” REAL-46 “…explains methods and techniques for analyzing data used in the valuation of real property.” REAL-48 “…provides a practical approach to management of developed real estate.” REAL-49 “…covers the principles and procedures involved in the process of opening and closing real estate escrow transactions.” Methodology Quantitative statistics analyzed in this report were: 1. Productivity a. Full Time Equivalent Faculty (FTEF) b. Full Time Equivalent Student (FTES) 2. Enrollment a. Enrollment b. Completion c. Success d. Persistence e. Frequency of Course Offerings 3. Student Demographics a. Age b. Ethnicity c. Gender 4. Program Interest, Graduates, and Transfers 5. Comparable Programs 6. Labor Market 7. State and National Examinations, Credentials, and Certifications 8. State and National Associations For the purpose of this report, enrollment in any of the aforementioned Real Estate (REAL) courses was analyzed as though the student’s educational goal was to obtain a Real Estate degree. It should be noted that enrollment in any of these courses does not necessarily define the student’s educational goal. Courses outside the Real Estate department (i.e. ACTG, BUS, CPSC) were not included in this analysis as they may fulfill requirements for other degrees or breadth requirements. The requested timeframe was Fall 2003 to Spring 2013. REAL courses were not offered in the summer during the reporting period, so only primary terms were included. Only students who received a grade were included in this report. Students who dropped from a course and did not receive a course grade were not included in this report. Page 2 3/6/2014 2:42:38 PM FTEF and FTES The average FTEF for Real Estate classes was .65. FTEF for Real Estate classes in total ranged from .2 in Fall 2010 and Fall 2011 to 1.2 in Spring 2006. In general, each class had an FTEF of .2 each semester, with the exceptions of REAL-42 in Spring 2005, Fall 2005, Spring 2006, and Spring 2007, REAL-43 in Spring 2006, and REAL-45 in Fall 2006, all of which had an FTEF of .4.
