DVC April 11, 2018 draft

Meta-Majors Revision Proposal

Our process so far:

• Fall 2015: Scheduling Committee engaged Noel Levitz

Consulting Group for enrollment management project. Conclusion: students have trouble finding majors in our long, alphabetical list.

• Spring 2016: Developed eight “clusters” of majors in

consultation with faculty and student focus groups. Created interest statements and added them to the website under “Explore your Academic Interests”

• January 2017: Deans and Department Chairs meeting

devoted to discussing and suggesting revisions for Clusters

• Fall 2017: “Clusters” design team formed to discuss the

structure and use of meta-majors

• Spring 2018: Design team conducts student and

prospective student focus groups and research for further revision efforts—now seeking college feedback

The three “layers” or levels of specificity can also be used to give students specialized supports based on how defined their educational goals are:

Focused Directed Explorer Discoverer

Science and Health Life Sciences Biological Science

AS degree

Possible “pre-level” for very undecided or inexperienced students?

Meta-Major Structure: Semester 1

Career and Major Exploration (1 unit) English according to placement (3-5 units) Math according to placement and educational

• bjectives (3-4

units)

Other courses (GE, interest- based) if desired

May be credit, non- credit, new course or rewrite of an existing course? All TBD
