Challenge
How might we make obtaining credentials and degrees more efficient, without compromising academic rigor?
Strategy
Three-pronged effort:
- Worked with faculty and advisors to develop sequencing and design of courses for credential and degree requirements
- Streamlined 15-month associate degree options
- Launched pathways initiative, which included My Academic Plan (MAP), a software tool for students (alerts what courses to take and in what sequence)
Outcome
Sinclair launched a series of solutions, most notably a curriculum redesign focused on increasing the number of total degrees and credentials.
