Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges www.sbctc.edu | May 2016 Study Session May 4, 2016 Tab 1 Baccalaureate degree proposals 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 60 applied baccalaureate degree programs at 25 colleges with students currently enrolled in 46 programs at 20 colleges. Nineteen proposals are engaged in the approval process, and nine colleges have expressed interest in 15 additional programs. (Attachment A: Applied baccalaureate degree programs) Background information and analysis 1a) Lake Washington Institute of Technology – BAS in Digital Gaming and Interactive Media Lake Washington Institute of Technology proposes a Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Digital Gaming and Interactive Media beginning fall quarter 2017. This degree will prepare students for employment in the digital gaming environment working as designers, animators and project managers. The proposed applied baccalaureate degree is built on the Associate in Applied Science-Transfer degree in Digital Gaming and Media. Graduates of this program demonstrate proficiency in 3D modeling, character Tab 1 design, rigging, animation, game play and design, user interface, and software development for interactive media projects. This proposed degree would be Lake Washington Institute of Technology’s fifth applied baccalaureate degree. 1b) Lake Washington Institute of Technology – BAS in Dental Hygiene Lake Washington Institute of Technology proposes a Bachelor of Applied Science Dental Hygiene degree beginning summer 2017. This degree will prepare students for employment as dental hygienists, a field that is evolving to where bachelor’s degrees are becoming the industry standard. Students will benefit from earning a higher credential recognizing the credits earned in their prerequisite courses and dental employers will benefit from a higher credentialed applicant with critical job skills. Currently, Lake Washington Institute of Technology dental hygiene students earn an Associate of Applied Science transfer (AAS-T) degree after four years of study and a minimum of 182 quarter credits based on curricular changes required to follow standards set by the Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA) and the Washington State Dental Hygiene Practice Act (WSDHPA). The BAS in Dental Hygiene degree will provide students a four-year degree aligned with the credit load they now complete to receive their AAS-T degree, saving time and money. Additionally, graduates of this degree program will be prepared to complete all licensing exams, provide quality patient care, and engage in life-long learning and career development as a dental hygienist. This proposed degree would be Lake Washington Institute of Technology’s sixth applied baccalaureate degree. 1c) Lake Washington Institute of Technology – Bachelor of Science in Nursing Lake Washington Institute of Technology proposes a
