Maryland Community Colleges 1987 Program Evaluations.
Maryland State Board for Community Colleges, Annapolis.
As part of an annual statewide evaluation process, quantitative information on community college education is reviewed by the Maryland State Board for Community Colleges. Subsequently, a qualitative assessment is conducted by selected colleges in response to specific questions raised by the board. This report provides the results of individual qualitative evaluations of 44 programs throughout the community college system, as well as the results of a statewide evaluation of associate degree nursing programs. First, the nursing program evaluation is presented, including descriptive information on the programs offered at 14 of the 17 Maryland community colleges, an analysis of trends in enrollments and student characteristics, program performance data, the results of evaluations conducted by the colleges, and recommendations for student recruitment and program articulation. The next section contains evaluation reports for 44 programs identified as having specific problems (e.g., declining enrollments, low transfer rates, low job placement levels, high costs, inadequate student follow-up, or declining degree awards). Each evaluation report includes the name of the college, the program, and the level of award; responses to questions posed by the board concerning factors accounting for the problem, graduate placement and employer follow-up, and program quality; actions planned by the college to remedy the problems; and board recommendations.
