Section 2.18.02: Implementation Guidelines/Career Degrees
SUBJECT: Implementation Guidelines for Career Degrees
SOURCE: Memorandum from Executive Vice Chancellor to Chief Academic Officers,
7/27/90
PROCEDURES
The purpose of this memorandum is to assist institutions as they begin to implement the Board Policy revisions approved on June 13, 1990.
-
All current and proposed new cooperative degree programs are to be listed as one of the following:
A.A.S. in Business (AASBC) CIP 52.9999 A.A.S. in Health (AASHC) CIP 51.9999 A.A.S. in Services (AASSC) CIP 43.9999 A.A.S. in Technology (AASTC) CIP 48.9999 -
Although the four degree names and CIP codes may also be used for A.A.S. degrees offered independently by University System institutions, these four acronyms (AASBC, AASHC, AASSC, AASTC) may only be used for cooperative degrees. The "C" in each acronym will allow the System Office to determine the number of students completing these cooperative programs.
-
It is understood that the options listed by institutions under one of these four cooperative degrees may not all be from the same CIP group as the degree itself. For example, there may be horticultural programs (CIP 01) listed as options under the business degree (CIP 07).
-
The listed options and related CIP numbers should reflect the program names and CIP numbers approved for the cooperating technical institute by the State Board of Technical and Adult Education.
-
Institutions wishing to propose new cooperative degree programs should complete the newly-developed form, "Outline for Proposal of New Cooperative A.A.S. Degree Programs," which follows. Approval of such proposals will require Board action.
-
Institutions wishing to propose modifications to existing independent A.A.S. programs may do so by using the following "Request to Reaffirm and/or Modify Existing A.A.S. Programs" form.
