Review of the college’s programs to identify areas of possible simplification and integration to create curricular and instructional efficiency.
Rollout revised General Education Program to lower the program’s course non-completion rate.
Align college-wide learning outcomes with program learning outcomes.
Review curriculum maps for each academic program and general education listing each outcome and where it is taught in the program, as well as where the item is expected and assessed.
Improve new-student’s first quarter retention rates.
Improve courses in each program with high non-completion rates.
Improve student end of course evaluations completion rate.
