B. Program Mission and Goals State the goals/focus of the program and how the program contributes to the mission and priorities of the College and District. Address how the program meets the current year’s strategic priorities. (200 word limit)

! Mission Statement: Prepare our students and the community to be competent citizens for the ever-changing local and global markets. Goals: • To prepare students for transfer and success in business careers through excellent instruction and quality curriculum • To promote faculty research, collaboration, faculty-student interaction, and professional

development activities that enhance faculty skills and student learning • To integrate academic knowledge and skills to real-life business practice • To build a strong partnership with industry and the community • To strive for continuous program improvement through membership in the international

business program accreditation body ACBSP. !!4. Program/Service Area Student Learning Outcomes and Program Data !

A. Summarize recent course (for instruction, including student service courses) or program (for student services and every three years, CTE programs) SLO assessment, identify trends and discuss areas in need of improvement. Please attach summary Tracdat reports with assessment and analysis for SLOs evaluated during the last two years (prior to submission deadline of April 1st). (200 word limit is recommended.) Tool: https://sanmateo.tracdat.com/tracdat/

!

!One or more SLOs in 7 out of 14 active courses in Business, International Trade & Logistics were assessed in 2014-2015. The remaining seven Business courses will be assessed in Fall 2016. Changes have occurred in the Business, Int’l Trade & Logistics programs. The courses in International Trade & Logistics are planned to move to the Global Learning Programs and Services Division. These courses were not assessed. As we are building the Business programs, we will require that all faculty assess all SLOs annually, providing dedicated support from SLOAC coordinators. The following courses were assessed during 2014-2015. (See attached TracDat report). It is important to note that the current review of the data reveal the same challenges that have been observed in previous years. Not all sections and all SLOs for courses are being assessed. In addition, courses are assessed via different methods, with different success criteria. After analysis it is determined that in some courses the success criteria should be set higher, assessment methods refined, and different assessment methods using direct and indirect methods of assessment should be adopted by faculty. This would encourage both authentic and sustainable assessment methods for better analysis of the courses. Faculty would benefit from professional development opportunities involving general assessment processes, methods, and analyses.

B. Analyze evidence of Program performance. Review and analyze productivity, student characteristics and outcomes.

The Business Department for the year 2014-2015 carried a load of 426, a decrease of 4% from the previous year. The figure below shows load trends for Business and the college as a whole.

The gender balance of our students in the Department for 2014-2015 is distributed at 52.2% male and 45.5% female in comparison to the College-wide gender balance at 46.1% male and 51.5% female. This balance has gradually shifted from female to male majority since 2010. The department's unique headcount by ethnicity reflected small changes from 2013-2014 to 2014-2015: Filipinos had a 1.1 percentage point increase, while Hispanics/Latinos showed a decrease of 1.3 percentage points, the most significant change in ethnicity enrollment patterns.

Business Annual Program Planning Page 4 of 32 April 2016

!

An interesting change from 2013-2014 to 2014-2015 is in the unique headcount by age. There were minor changes in all age categories except for the 40-49, which had a 2.2 percentage point decrease. This may be an indication of economic recovery and the return to employment for this age category students. Skyline College for the 2014-2015 year had a 70.5% success rate and an 84.8% retention rate, nearly unchanged from the previous year. The Business Department experienced a 65.9% success rate and 80.5% retention rate, roughly five percentage points lower than the college. These results were practically unchanged from the previous year for retention and 1.1 percentage points lower for success. The Business Department is below the college rates and will continue to explore strategies to increase success and retention.

The total number of 2015 sections for Spring and Fall was 93, with 31% of these being online. The graph below compares success rates for face-to-face and online courses. Success rates for online classes are slightly lower than the 60% statewide rate (California Community College Chancellors Office Data Mart, http://datamart.cccco.edu/Outcomes/Course_Ret_Success.aspx.)

C. Explain how other information may impact the Program (examples are business and employment needs, new technology, new transfer requirements etc.)

!

!

1. The business department applied for and received a grant to revamp the entrepreneurship and marketing courses and certificates from the Doing What Matters for Small Business initiative of the State of California. The following courses were created under the grant.

• BUS 161 – Creativity and Innovation in Entrepreneurship

• BUS 163 – Accounting and Finance for Entrepreneurs

• BUS 164 – Launching the Entrepreneurial Venture I

• BUS 165 – Launching the Entrepreneurial Venture II

2. The following courses were modified under the grant to align them with the current industry practices and the needs of small business managers and entrepreneurs.

• BUS 201 – Business Law

• BUS 401 – Business Communications

• MGMT 100 – Introduction to Business Management !

3. Business programs and certificates were updated to include the courses created and modified under the Doing What Matters grant. Two new certificates in Entrepreneurship are significant. See Appendix C.

Business Annual Program Planning Page 6 of 32 April 2016

!

4. BUS 150, Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management, was banked. It was replaced by

BUS 164 and BUS 165. The General Supervision Certificate of Achievement was deleted as a result of low enrollment.

5. The department is transferring the A.S. degree in International Logistics, the Ocean Freight Forwarding Certificate, and the Freight Forwarding Certificate of Specialization to the Global Learning Program and Services Division.

6. All new courses have been entered in TracDAT and their SLOs have been mapped to corresponding PSLOs and ISLOs.

7. Assessment methods have not been created for the new courses, as SLOs assessment is the responsibility and prerogative of the faculty teaching the course. Assessment plans for the new courses will be created by the faculty teaching the courses in Fall of 2016 and Spring of 2017.

!

B. Identify Patterns of Curriculum Offerings !

!

Respond to the following:

1. What is the planning group’s 2-year curriculum cycle of course offerings by certificates and degrees?

2. What is the ideal curriculum cycle?

3. Discuss any issues. !!!

The department has designed the course offerings and sequencing of courses for certificates, degrees, and transfer degrees to ensure timely completion within the 2-year curriculum cycle. Multiple sections of most courses are offered every semester to meet the needs of Business majors and for those pursuing certificates. The Business courses meet the standards and criteria for courses as prescribed in Title 5 regulations as applied to community colleges and which mandates requirements for curriculum-related issues, including transferability, appropriate number of units, and expected outcomes to include, but not limited to, critical thinking and cultural diversity. Employment opportunities are very good for skilled, capable, and dependable business professionals. Employers are looking for business professionals with excellent communication skills, organizational skills, human relations skills and enthusiasm for the job and organization. Graduates can explore opportunities that match their interests and education in a variety of industries. The Business Department completed an Associate in Science Degree for Transfer (AS-T) Degree Business Administration that was offered for Business students in 2012. Upon completion of the transfer associate degree, students are eligible for transfer with a junior standing into the CSU system, and given priority consideration when applying to a similar program in the student’s area of study. Figure 1 in Appendix C shows completions in the AS-T degree since its inception in 2012. The transfer degree has been very successful, showing an increase in completions of almost 180% from 2012-2013 to

Page 7: SKYLINE COLLEGE ANNUAL PROGRAM PLANNING SELF-STUDY › programreview › app › assets › 2015-2016 … · focus on this discipline and development of Marketing and Management programs,

Business Annual Program Planning Page 7 of 32 April 2016

!

2013-2014 and a 30% increase from 2013-2014 to 2014-2015 academic years. Transferability and credit towards the four-year degree in business have been the central criteria for inclusion of courses in the business AS degree programs. At the present time all the core courses transfer and all are counted toward the four-year degree at San Francisco State University, which is the number one transfer school for Skyline business students. Figure 2 in Appendix C shows Business Certificates awarded from 2010-2011 to 2014-2015. The Business Administration Certificate of Achievement has an average award rate of five certificates per year, the highest of all certificates offered. The department is in process of strengthening and promoting the Entrepreneurship program, as well as expanding course offering in Marketing and Management with the aim providing more targeted studies that satisfy the interests and needs of our students. The International Trade and International Logistics certificates can be regarded as career enhancement areas of study with very low award rates (see Figure 2 in Appendix C). These certificates will be transferred to the Global Learning Programs & Services Division where they can be more appropriately served. The Business courses are offered in traditional, hybrid and online formats allowing flexibility in our instructional delivery increasing access to students. An ideal curriculum cycle is currently in place. We have annual Advisory Committee Meetings where the department gets advice on: review of our program's sequence and scheduling of courses and delivery options; review and suggestions of content for courses of study and standards of proficiency in areas which are essential to becoming successfully employed in a career pathway.

6. Response to Previous Annual Program Plan & Review !

List any recommendations for the program and your responses to these recommendations based on previous Annual Program Plan and/or CTE Professional Accreditation report.

!

The Business Program continues to evaluate all of its courses with the aim of modernizing its degree and certificate offerings to better match student’s career goals and industry trends. Figures 1 and 2 in Appendix C show degree and certificate awards for the last five years. The following steps are being taken to analyze and improve program results. 1. Under a grant from the California Community Colleges, Doing What Matters for Small Business initiative, several existing courses have been modified and new ones created to support revamped Entrepreneurship certificates, and area of interest of many of our students. The department will continue to focus on this discipline and development of the Marketing and Management fields, areas integral to business administration. 2. The department has identified areas of low enrollment as evidenced by degree and certificate awards. In response, the General Supervision Certificate of Achievement has been deleted and certificates in International Trade and International Logistics are being transferred to the Global Learning and Services Division. We will continue to monitor course enrollment, and degree and certificate awards to further improve our effectiveness. 3. Business students were surveyed to better understand their career goals and aspirations. The results showed that 77% of students were considering transfer to a 4-year university, 39% of students wanted to pursue a degree in business, and 21% wished to complete a certificate (see Figure 3 Appendix C). These results demonstrate the importance on continued support and enhancement of the AS Transfer degree.

4. The table to the right shows students’ responses to the type of jobs they desire. Financial Services, Management and Business Administration, Marketing, and Entrepreneurship were most often mentioned by the students surveyed. The Business Department has initiated expansion in these areas and will continue to develop them further.

5. On May 22, 2015, Business and BCM faculty met for a self-assessment and planning session. Dr. Sarah Perkins, VP of Instruction, Christine Roumbanis, Dean of the BEPP Division, Aaron McVean, Dean of PRIE, and Alex Kramer, Deputy Sector Navigator for Small Business, met with department faculty to map the course of future program development. Degree/Certificate completion data, LMI data, and student survey results were discussed. The outcomes of this meeting guided the strategy of the department during 2015.

7. Action Plan !

Provide your action plan based on the analysis and reflections provided in the previous sections. Note – resource requests should be connected to action plans.

!!

Respond to the following:

• Describe data and assessment results for Program Student Learning Outcomes. Analyze and reflect on assessment results for Program Student Learning Outcomes and other measures of Program performance.

• Analyze and reflect on other evidence described in previous sections. Identify the next steps, including any planned changes to curriculum or pedagogy.

• Identify questions that will serve as a focus of inquiry for next year. !!!

Next steps for the department include: • Hold Advisory Committee meetings twice a year to better guide the Department’s efforts. The

first of these will be held during June of 2016. • Under funding from the California Community College, Doing What Matters for Small Business

initiative, conduct a student promotional event to launch and promote the new Entrepreneurship Certificates (May 2016)

• Modify and emphasize SLOAC assessment methodologies with the aim of increasing faculty participation. The 3-year SLOAC assessment cycle needs to revised so that faculty assess all student learning outcomes for all sections of a course on a regular basis. With the help of the Dean, establish a method of accountability of faculty in the performance of student learning outcome assessment (2016-2017)

• Encourage faculty to attend CTTL workshops and other training activities to learn new teaching approaches aimed at increasing student success.
