Data Review and Analysis for Enrollment
Respondent(s): Vilma Bernal, Pat Flood
Analyze trends in Enrollment over the period for which data were provided, using detailed breakdowns asnecessary. Where college-wide data is provided, compare discipline to college-wide trends. Also, discusscollege-wide or discipline-department specific factors as they relate to these trends and note theimplications on your discipline/department operations or planning.
Response: Note: 2015 update is at end. In fall of 2004, total enrollment was at 505 and in spring 2009 itwas at 532, a slight increase of 4%. During the last five years, the business discipline reached the highestenrollment of 670 in fall of 2006; however, due to budgetary constraints in spring 07, limited classes wereoffered resulting in a decrease in the total number of students attending. The increased state mandatorytuition costs during 2006 from $18 to $26 per unit was another factor affecting enrollment along with theclosure of on-campus parking while the new parking structure was being built, and it was probably the
primary reason for the almost 20% decrease in fall 2007. In the years 2004-2009 fewer LAMC studentsenrolled in day than evening classes. The greatest reduction in student enrollment was in spring 2008when there was a 21% decrease in enrollment; the following fall, however, it rebounded 38% followed bya decrease in spring 09 of 11%. The evening classes have experienced an increase in enrollment over thelast 5 years from 249 to 300 students, 24%, and online enrollment has increased 50% from 78 in fall 2004to 156 in spring 09 with the highest enrollment of 171 in fall 07. In 2008, the state continued to cut thecommunity college budget resulting in fewer classes being offered. By 2009, we were asked again to cutan additional 10% of our overall class offerings, resulting in an 11% reduction in students in spring 09. Atthe end of the 2008-09 academic year, however, one senior full-time faculty member retired which hasenabled us to add more adjunct professors; one adjunct in particular has been very successful withenrollment in his classes and retention this past fall (09), which is not reflected in the charts. For example,in one of his fall 09 classes (Business Law 5) enrollment at the end of the semester was still at 102% (42students) and his spring 2010 class reached full enrollment early in January. Despite budgetaryuncertainty, the business discipline continues to offer key classes so that students can graduate within twoyears. From 2008-09 to 2009-10, enrollment has increased by 19%, 1164 to 1434 respectively.
For the year of 2010-2011, the class offerings remained the same, no additional cuts were made asexperienced in the past years. The total enrollment for this current year is 1541; 810 students in fall 2010and 731 in spring 2011, an increase of 16% from last year. The business discipline has experienced asteady increase for the last two years--in 2010 19% and in 2011 16% as well. Despite a low decrease inenrollment for Spring 2011(-9.8%), the overall enrollment increased for Fall 2010 to Spring 2011. The “daystudents” had the biggest increase from 869 in 2010 to 949 in 2011, an 8% jump. The evening studentsremained relatively the same. It is also interesting to note that online students decreased this year. In2010, a total of 412 students registered to online classes while in 2011 there were 380 students, an 8%decrease. This can be attributed to that students are more aware of what online classes entails. Online isnot for everybody and the Distance Education Committee has been educating the institution and studentsabout this alternative method of teaching.
The overall increase in total enrollment is in line with the college overall enrollment; Mission College hasalso experienced an increase in student population. This can be attributed to several reasons: Four yearuniversities have scaled down in their offerings, four year universities have increased their tuition, makingcommunity colleges more affordable, unemployment rate, and overall economy of our state. Furthermore,in 2010-2011, the business department worked on developing new curriculum in the area of greentechnology. This should bring more students into our department.
For the year of 2011-2012, we experienced another wave of cuts. Each department was to cut 10% andthe business department cut one business class for the Fall of 2012 which may have an impact for nextyear. The total enrollment for 2012 is 1557; 810 students in fall 2011 and 747 in spring 2012, an increaseof 1% from last year. The business discipline has experienced a steady increase for the last three years--in2010 19%, in 2011 16%, and in 2012 1% as well. It is important to note that in 2012 we experienced theslowest increase of only 1% or 16 additional students. The “day students” had the biggest increase from949 in 2011 to 967 in 2012, a 1% jump. The evening students remained relatively the same. Since 25%of our enrollment comes from online classes, it is also interesting to note that online registrationdecreased last year in 2009-2010 and it the same was experienced in 2010-2011. The total number ofstudents registered in online classes are as follows; in 2010, a total of 412, in 2011 380, and in 2011 301students, a 21% decrease from last year. This is a trend we have seen for the past two years, which is thelevel of work and discipline required by students. Online is not for everybody and the Distance EducationCommittee has been educating the institution and students about this alternative method of teaching.
However, the overall increase in total enrollment is in line with the college overall enrollment; MissionCollege has also experienced an increase in student population. This can be attributed to several reasons:Four year universities have scaled down in their offerings, four year universities continue to increase theirtuition, making community colleges more affordable, unemployment rate remaining high, and overalleconomy of our state. In 2010-2011, the business department offered one new course called “GreenMarketing.” The class was full and there was much interest in the subject area. In Spring of 2012, thedepartment offered a new course called “Global Business.”
L.A. Mission College continues to experience growth in student population and the business departmenthas also seen interesting growth. For year 2012-2013, the overall enrollment was 1,544 which is an 8%increase from the previous year which was 1,488. The day students increased by 9% which indicates thatmore high school graduates are choosing a community college rather than to transfer to a four yearuniversity. Surprisingly, the evening enrollment dropped by 20% and the spring 2013 had its lowest onlineenrollment of 175 students for that semester. This is important data for us as we develop scheduling ofclasses. These numbers should drive us to schedule classes according to the demand of our students.
The business department has experienced a comfortable steady growth both in evening and day students.According to our data, the majority of our students are Hispanics within the age of 20-34 years old, whoseprimary language is English. The overall enrollment for spring and fall 2012 was 1331 while spring and fall2013 was 1422, making it a 6% growth. This is a good pace for us which allows us to serve our studentswith the highest of quality. This steady growth is allowing us to evaluate some of our course offerings anddegrees which we are evaluating currently.
For spring and fall of 2014, the business department experienced a slight increase in its enrollment. Forspring and fall of 2014 the total number of students enrolled was 1467 while spring and fall of 2013 was1422, which in a 3% increase. On the other hand, online student enrollment dropped by 3% from 211 to186. Day students continue to be the highest number of our students that we serve. 72% of the studentsare hispanic; however, for most all our business students (81.6%), English is their primary language withSpanish being second highest (13.9%). Amost 50% of the students fall into the 20-24 age bracket withthe next highest being 25-34,22%.
Student Success - Successful Course Completion
Data Review and Analysis for Student Success
Respondent(s): Vilma Bernal, Pat Flood
1) Has your discipline chosen to set its own discipline-specific standards for student success and retention?A standard is defined as a level of performance to meet educational quality and institutional effectivenessexpectations – a level below which you would be concerned about your performance No
If yes, please indicate your discipline-specific standard(s) and your justification for why they aredifferent than the college institution-set standard(s) for: Successful Course Completion Rate:
Course Retention Rate:
Please provide your justification, grounded in evidence/data, for why your discipline chose to setstandards that differ from the college institution-set standards.
Response:
2) Analyze trends in Student Success over the period for which data were provided, using detailedbreakdowns as necessary. Where college-wide data is provided, compare discipline to college-wide trendsand institution-set standards for course success and retention. If your discipline set its own discipline-specific standard(s), please also compare your performance to those standards. Discuss college-wide ordiscipline-/department-specific factors as they relate to these trends and note the implications on yourdiscipline/department operations or planning.
Response:
3) In areas you’ve identified as needing improvement, describe strategies and/or interventions that youwill implement to help bring about improvement in achievement outcomes
Response: While our student retention rate not only met but exceeded college wide standards, andstudent success is aligned with college wide, constant communication about these standards is necessary.Therefore, meetings and discussion about embracing innovative ideas to assist students succeed shouldcontinue to happen at the discipline level as well as the college wide level.
For 2014, we continue to see the same pattern as previous year, with success rate being slightly belowcollege wide rates. Additionally, the W's rate increased slightly as well. These are areas the discipline willneed to discuss at meetings and through the assessment of its PLOs.
4) Please assess the effectiveness of the strategies and/or interventions you implemented in prior years, inpart by analyzing the discipline’s most recent success and retention rates compared to the prior year’sperformance and to the institution- and/or discipline-set standards.
Response: We have implemented the following and experienced improved performance:1-Have held regular Discipline meetings2-have updated curriculum3-Held advisory board meetings4-Completed Associate of Science Transfer degree in Business (AST)
5) If your program collects data on other criteria of importance to your program (e.g., Skills Certificates),please use the box below to document the criteria and your performance on them. If you have set astandard (a level of performance to meet educational quality and institutional effectiveness expectations)for your performance on each criteria, please also specify the standard.
Response: The Business discipline does not offer Skills certificate or other certificates.
6) If your program offers any certificates and/or CTE degrees, please list the job placement rates forstudents completing these certificates/degrees (if you collect such information). Please list eachcertificate/degree in which there were at least 10 students who completed the program in a given year.State your standard for expected job placement rate. Also, state the job placement rate, as measured inthe year following graduation, of students who graduated from the program.
Response: We do not have any information on job placement rates.
7) Please evaluate your performance and describe any plans for improvement on the measures identifiedin question 5 and 6 above (program-specific measures and/or job placement rates). Also, discuss anyimprovements that have resulted from prior program improvement plans.
Response: As a result of adding a concentration in Business to the Liberal Arts degree, our graduationrates have improved significantly.
Student Success - Awards
Data Review and Analysis for Degree/Certificate Awards
Respondent(s): Vilma Bernal, Pat Flood
Analyze trends in Degree/Certificate Awards over the period for which data were provided, using detailed
breakdowns as necessary. Where college-wide data is provided, compare discipline to college-wide trends.Also, discuss college-wide or discipline-department specific factors as they relate to these trends and notethe implications on your discipline/department operations or planning.
Response: Note: The 2015 update is at end.
During 2004-2009, the business discipline offered six different degree programs. It does not offer skillawards and offers only one certificate (Retail Management). From 2004 to 2009 the discipline increasedthe number of business degrees awarded from 0 to 16 or 160% and increased the certificates it awardedto a high of 8 in 2006-2007. The increase in certificates in 2006-2007 was due to the promotion of thenew retail management certificate. The increase in degrees was probably due to the school’s change indegree requirements from general areas such as professional studies to degrees with a particular emphasissuch as business. The decrease in degrees from 2005-2008 may have been caused by the increase intuition costs and the reduction in course offerings. The discipline is working along with the counselingdepartment in order to assist students to commit to a particular degree. As a result, the degrees awardedincresed from 19 to 35 in 2009-2010.
During the year of 2010-2011, the business discipline awarded 25 degrees. In the year of 2009-2010, thediscipline awarded 35, which is a decrease of 10 degrees. This has been a issue and the department hasbeen working on streamlining the process of obtaining the degree by modifying the course requirements.Additionally, the state just passed the SB 1440 which is a universal transfer program to the CSU system.This TMC degree was just submitted to the curriculum committee and accepted. This should significantlyassist students with their Business degree transfer and increase the degree completion numbers.
In the summer of 2012, the Business Discipline worked with counseling to streamline the AA BusinessAdministration degrees which include Associate's Degrees in Business Administration, Marketing, Finance,Management, and Accounting. We looked at the degree requirements and revised them; the number ofcore requirements and therefore units required for the degrees were reduced to enable students tocomplete their degrees more quickly. These revisions were completed in Fall 2012 and were approved bythe Curriculum Committee. The 30% increase in degree completions in 2012-2013 compared to 2011-2012reflects these changes.
During the year of 2010-2011, the business discipline awarded 26 degrees and it dropped in 2011-2012 to21 degrees. This has been an issue and the department has been working on streamlining the process ofobtaining the degree by modifying the course requirements. Additionally, the state just passed the SB 1440which is a universal transfer program to the CSU system. This TMC degree was just submitted to thecurriculum committee and accepted. We are still waiting for the final approval of this degree. This shouldsignificantly assist students with their Business degree transfer and increase the degree completionnumbers.
The Retail Certificate Management is a certificate only accepted by the Western Association of Food Chains(WAFC). These are the grocery stores throughout California such as Vons, Ralphs, etc. This is a 30-unitcertificate offered to employees of these grocery chains and is directly connected to promotion. Anyemployee interested in moving up is encouraged to take this certificate. This is an employer drivencertificate. Because their schedule requires long hours, the few students pursuing this certificate take along time to complete. We currently have a couple at Mission College.
During the year of 2012-2013, the business discipline awarded 30 degrees which is an increase from lastyear (2011-2012) when 21 degrees were awarded, a 33% increase. The addition of a Liberal Arts Degreewith a business concentration helped to increase the number of degrees students received. Thedepartment has been working on streamlining the process of obtaining business degrees by modifying thecourse requirements. Two years ago, the state passed SB 1440 which is a universal transfer program tothe CSU system. This TMC degree was submitted to the curriculum committee and was approved in 2012.
There has been a steady increase in degrees awarded. During the year of 2013, the business disciplineawarded 31 degrees which is an increase from last year (2011) when 21 degrees were awarded, a 32%increase. The addition of a Liberal Arts Degree with a business concentration helped to increase the
number of degrees students received. However, plenty of meetings with counseling, academic affairs, andfaculty has stimulated the need to modify our current AA degrees. Unfortunately we have seen a patternover the years that our student are not obtaining AA degrees, rather they either transfer without the AAdegree or go into the workforce. As a result, we have been working on streamlining the process ofobtaining business degrees by modifying the course requirements. We are working together to create AAdegrees that will meet student and industry needs. We hope to have something finished by fall 2014 andthen put through the curriculum process. Additionally, three years ago, the state passed SB 1440 which isa universal transfer program to the CSU system. This TMC degree was submitted to the curriculumcommittee and was approved in 2012.
The business discipline awarded 50 AA degrees in 2014, an 61% increase from previous year (31). In May2015, the state approved the Associate of Science Transfer degree (AST) in Business Administration. Thisdelineates the process of transferring and therefore should have positive effect on future transfers.
In areas you’ve identified as needing improvement, describe strategies and/or interventions that you willimplement to help bring about improvement in student degree and/or certificate completion
Response: The following are strategies the department intends to implement: 1-Revise AA degrees in Business Administration, Accounting, Management, Finance, Marketing 2-Consider developing a Certificate in Accounting
Suggestions for 2015:1-Currently in the process of revising AA degrees in Business Administration, Management and Accounting.2-Archiving AA degree in Marketing and Finance.2-In the process of developing a Certificate in Accounting.
Please assess the effectiveness of the strategies and/or interventions you implemented in prior years toincrease student degree and/or certificate completion.
Response: As seen by the past pattern of low degree completion, the business discipline is revisitingcurrent AA degrees to revise them to be more attainable while still maintaining the quality of education.

Respondent(s): Vilma Bernal, Pat Flood
Analyze trends in FTES over the period for which data were provided, using detailed breakdowns asnecessary. Where college-wide data is provided, compare discipline to college-wide trends. Also, discusscollege-wide or discipline-department specific factors as they relate to these trends and note theimplications on your discipline/department operations or planning.
Response: Note: the May 2015 update is at the end.
The total FTES for fall and spring 2012 was 156.8 whereas for spring and fall 2013 it increased to 166.5, a5.8% increase. The data indicates that there was a slight increase (3.2%) in FTES in the 2013 semester.Online classes have been leveling off between 10 and 11 FTES. As we see enrollment increase, thisnumber should also be increasing.
The total FTES for 2013 was 166.5 whereas for 2014 it increased to 169.8.3, a 2% increase. The FTES foronline classes however dropped from 19.9 to 17.5. Students are becoming more familiar with onlineworkloads and are now very cautious about this type of class modality.

Individual(s) Responsible: Pat Flood, Vilma BernalPeriod: 10/1/2008 - 10/1/2016
Activity:
Coordinate business classes in a manner that helps students graduate/transferin two years. Help students understand the criteria needed to earn a businessdegree and/or certificate. Promote both the degree and certificate programs.Remove some of the blocks that are deterring students from graduating, suchas required courses that keep being cancelled or are not offered within two
years; for example, Accounting 16, Corporate Tax Accounting, was required forthe degree but was not able to be offered in many years due to lowenrollment. This class was replaced as a degree requirement. Add accountingtutors to help students succeed in the accounting courses and in obtaining theaccounting degree.
Expected Outcome andMeasure:
The department has been working on the overall planning of future courseofferings. We reviewed the catalog AA degrees, removed unnecessary classesand focused on offering courses that were necessary for students to graduate.We added courses such as Finance 8, Finance 1, Management 31 andMarketing 31. These are courses students need in order to transfer or receivea certificate. Increase number in degree/certificate completion will be the wayto measure this outcome.
