Currently, because of the small number of students identified, the results of this data are not statistically significant. This data will continue to be gathered and reported to the Assessment Committee. A 1996-97 High School Dual Enrollment Survey of high school administrators, counselors, and instructors showed that satisfaction with the program is extremely high. Analysis SMSU-WP continually develops and modifies procedures to facilitate student transfer for those students wishing to complete higher degrees. The institution works closely with baccalaureate degree-granting institutions to which students transfer.
Faculty members assess transferability of courses when making curriculum changes.
The Curriculum Committee compares SMSU-WP general education courses with those at other postsecondary institutions. GrizzNet will make it possible to better serve the sparse population density of SMSU-WP's seven county service area. The postgraduate survey, mailed to graduates two semesters after graduation, does not address student satisfaction with transferability of SMSU-WP courses nor with preparation for further education. The addition of two questions to the postgraduate survey should be proposed to the Assessment Committee.
