Educational Master Planning

EISPRO provided services for the coordination and development of the College’s Educational Master Plan with an emphasis on integrating all aspects of the planning cycle. This goal was accomplished through substantial on-campus interviews and detailed reviews of each department’s Program Reviews. The data developed as part of the Program of Instruction Analysis was linked to each program’s goals and Student Learning Outcomes. Barstow Community College is unique in offering a notably high number of sections online to students. An analysis by instructional delivery method was conducted for the College to address the significant number of students taking classes through distance learning. This process yielded detailed information for the College by evaluating both types of offerings with a focus on student success, retention and enrollment patterns. The results of the analysis will be instrumental in future planning at BCC. In addition to a complete Program of Instruction analysis, the Plan includes an Enrollment Management Plan to assist with long-range planning at the College.
