Book excerpt: Community and technical colleges (CTCs) play an important role in producing baccalaureate degree graduates in Washington State. Baccalaureate degrees that build upon the professional-technical associate degree provide expanded opportunities for both graduates and employers by providing the upper-division coursework in an applied field. Programs developed at the CTCs provide a clear pathway for students who may be place-bound or have difficulty finding a transfer opportunity for their applied baccalaureate degree. The programs also help to address the gap found by some employers of successfully recruiting qualified applicants who have the job-specific technical skills as well as the skills learned through a baccalaureate program. In addition to recruiting new personnel, Bachelor of Applied Sciences (BAS) programs are beneficial to employees already working in a technical field who wish to be promoted to higher level management or specialized positions which may require a bachelor's degree. The Washington State Board for Community & Technical Colleges (SBCTC) advocated for CTC applied baccalaureate programs because it would help: (1) Meet state goals for increasing the total number of baccalaureate degrees awarded by 2019 to 42,400 per year. The community and technical college system will need to increase the number of students who transfer to a baccalaureate program, which includes increasing the number of applied baccalaureate programs at the CTCs; (2) Expand the workforce mission of CTCs to serve the needs of local and state employers; and (3) Increase educational pathways for professional-technical associate graduates who have been limited in their ability to apply credits toward a bachelor degree. The workforce student population is comprised of a large portion of people of color, older working adults, and people (primarily women) who are place-bound with family responsibilities. Applied baccalaureate programs originated from the 2005 Legislature passing E2SHB 1794, giving the State Board authority to select pilot programs at designated CTCs. Subsequently, the 2010 legislature passed Substitute House Bill 2655 giving the SBCTC authority to approve CTC applied baccalaureate degree programs. This removed the pilot status of the CTC applied baccalaureate programs. As of the conclusion of academic year 2012-13, seventeen programs in ten colleges have been approved for applied baccalaureate degrees, with students enrolled in ten programs in eight colleges (seven programs are in development). This report evaluates the outcomes of students in the programs, such as enrollments and demographics over time, completions, and employment outcomes for students who have graduated and entered the workforce following their program. The programs described in this paper include: (1) Bellevue College--Bachelor of Applied Science in Radiation and Imaging Sciences, 2007; Bachelor of Applied Arts in Interior Design, 2009; Bachelor of Applied Science in Health Care Technology and Management, 2011; (2) Centralia College--Bachelor of Applied Science in Applied Management, 2012; (3) Columbia Basin College--Bachelor of Applied Science in Applied Management, 2009; (4) Lake Washington Institute of Technology--Bachelor of Technology in Applied Design, 2009; (5) Olympic College--Bachelor of Science Nursing, 2007; (6) Peninsula College--Bachelor of Applied Science in Applied Management, 2007; (7) Seattle Central Community College--Bachelor of Applied Behavioral Science, 2009; and (8) South Seattle Community College--Bachelor of Applied Science in Hospitality Management, 2007. Key findings for enrollments and graduates through 2013 show programs are growing by reaching out to their local communities. Employment and earnings for first graduates demonstrate strong gains made even more significant by occurring in the midst of the recession.

Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: This study sought to examine and comprehensively describe transfer students who have earned a two-year technical or occupational Associate in Science (AS) degree at the community college and entered the university to pursue the Bachelor of Science in Applied Science (BSAS). The BSAS degree is a specialized baccalaureate degree program created to allow AS degree holders an opportunity to efficiently transfer into the university affording them full recognition of their two-year degree. This statewide articulated program at the University of South Florida is the first of its kind in the state of Florida. The program only began admitting its first students in the fall term of 2003. Prior to the creation of the BSAS degree, most AS degree holders were not admissible to the university. If they did meet admission requirements based upon competitive freshman admission requirements, only about 15-18 credits of the 60+ credits earned through their AS degree were transferrable. Before the BSAS there were no efficient means for most AS degree holders to pursue higher education beyond their two-year degree. The first five years of this new bachelor's degree program have been very successful. The BSAS program has consistently experienced enrollment growth every year, and the specialized "areas of concentration" have continued to expand offering even greater opportunity for AS degree holders to pursue meaningful baccalaureate studies in support of their academic, professional or personal goals. The AS-to-BS transfer students represent a relatively new student population at the university and this population is steadily growing. The university has historically had little experience with them, and consequently we know little about them. This study was an analysis of AS-BSAS transfer students to determine their characteristics, engagement and success at the university. The study revealed that they are, in fact, a unique student population at the university who are generally disengaged with university life, but performing very well academically. Their average age is 37 years old. They are predominately working adults with family responsibilities. They are conscientious students who are persisting and completing their bachelor's degree in less time than the national average for all transfer students. Overall, the results of this study suggest that we may need to make adjustments to our transfer and articulation policies, our admission practices, and closely examine the broader services of the university to ensure we meet the holistic needs of this new, exclusive, atypical, workforce focused, and growing population of students at the university.
