Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges www.sbctc.edu | October 2015 Study Session October 28, 2015 Tab 1 Applied baccalaureate degree statements of need Brief description A conceptual discussion will occur among the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges along with the several community and technical colleges proposing to offer applied baccalaureate degrees. The Statement of Need document addresses six areas: • Relationship to institutional role, mission and program priorities • Support of the statewide strategic plans • Employer/community demand for graduates with baccalaureate level of education proposed in the program • Applied baccalaureate program builds from existing professional and technical degree program offered by the institution • Student demand for program within service area • Efforts to maximize state resources to serve place-bound students How does this link to the State Board goals and policy focus The State Board goals are “designed to raise education attainment, open more doors to education– particularly for our fast-growing adult population–and build upon our tradition of excellence.” Colleges offering applied baccalaureate degrees meet the needs of changing economies by increasing the number of skilled employees in the areas of greatest need. Through this, colleges create greater access to higher education by enrolling underserved populations, particularly place-bound working adults, and ensure community and technical colleges are affordable and accessible for students. The following three goals are addressed through the approval process of applied baccalaureate degree programs: • Promoting student achievement and success by increasing the number of applied baccalaureate degrees conferred • Increasing access to post-secondary education by enrolling more underrepresented, first generation and adult students, active military, veterans and their dependents and develop means to attract former students needing credits for degrees, certificates, or credentials • Building on the system’s strength and successes by ensuring balance among mission areas: basic skills, workforce, transfer and applied baccalaureate To date, the State Board has approved a total 52 applied baccalaureate degree programs at 23 colleges with students currently enrolled in 35 programs at 15 colleges. Seventeen proposals are engaged in the approval process, and colleges have expressed interest in 16 additional programs. (Attachment A: Applied baccalaureate degree programs) Background information and analysis 1a) Yakima Valley Community College – BAS in Dental Hygiene Yakima Valley Community College proposes a Bachelor of Applied Science Dental Hygiene degree beginning fall 2016. This new degree would replace Yakima Valley Community College’s Associate of Applied Science in Dental Hygiene, comprised of 184 college credits and often requiring students four years to complete the program outcomes required by the Commission on Dental Accreditation standards. The proposed applied baccalaureate degree would allow students to meet proposed bachelor’s degree Tab 1 entry level requirements for the profession, become eligible for entrance into advanced degree options (e.g., advanced dental hygiene practitioner, advanced dental therapist), meet eligibility requirements for faculty positions in dental hygiene education, and work in alternate settings including research, schools, marketing, community health, and hospitals. The transition to a new applied baccalaureate degree will realign the current terminal degree conferred by the dental hygiene program with current four-year degree programs in the state and will fill the gap in dental hygiene baccalaureate degree granting institutions in central Washington which is comprised of a diverse and place-bound student population interested in four-year degree options. Yakima Valley Community College currently offers an applied baccalaureate degree in applied business management. 1b) Wenatchee Valley College - BAS in Engineering Technology Wenatchee Valley College proposes a Bachelor of Applied Science Engineering Technology degree beginning fall 2016 that builds off existing technical associate degrees in aerospace electronics, electronics, machining, and environmental systems and refrigeration technology. The proposed degree will focus on electronics and mechatronics, an emerging field comprised of multiple facets of engineering including mechanical, electrical, telecommunications, control, and computer engineering. The development of the BAS in Engineering Technology grew out of the district’s demand for a “hands on” educated workforce in industrial technology and engineering technology and will especially appeal to the place-bound and diverse populations in North Central Washington. Wenatchee Valley College currently offers a Bachelor of Science Nursing degree. 1c) Pierce College – BAS in Teacher Education Pierce College proposes a Bachelor of Applied Science Teacher Education degree beginning winter 2017. This degree will provide preparation for teacher certification with endorsements in early childhood education and early childhood special education. This program would create a pathway for early learning paraeducators, preschool teachers, and child care providers to use their Associate in Applied Science Early Childhood Education as the foundation
