NEW
PROGRAM INQUIRY PROCESS
Prior to completing the
New Program Proposal form recommending the establishment of a new program at
Scottsdale Community College, the appropriate division chair will complete the
following steps:
- Contact several
colleges,
comparable to SCC, with programs similar to the program in question, to
discover whether or not the program has been successful. The division chair will contact the
head of the program and that person’s supervisor to get a balanced
view. If the information received
is favorable, the division chair will proceed to the next step.
- Form an Advisory Review
Committee,
comprised of several representatives from the industry or business which
will be served by the program; however for academic areas refer to the Instructional
Councils. The purpose of the
committee council will be to assist the division chair in making an
initial determination as to whether such a program curriculum is
needed. Each committee should
provide minutes, which will then assist the division chair in developing a
questionnaire and a contact list for a formal needs analysis.
- Conduct a needs
analysis. With the assistance of the appropriate
resources such as: web sites
(e.g., www.acinet.org), the information offices, the division chair/department
chair will develop a questionnaire to send to prospective employers
throughout the projected service area.
Upon receipt and analysis of the data collected through the
questionnaire, the division chair will decide whether or not to complete
the New Program Curriculum Proposal.
