Academic Crossover Report: University of Hawaii, Community Colleges, Fall 1979.
Hawaii Univ., Honolulu. Office of Institutional Research and Analysis.
Fall 1979 registration data from the seven Hawaii community colleges were analyzed to determine the course-taking patterns of different groups of student majors and the client-serving pattern of the different academic departments. Major findings reveal that students seeking a certificate were taking 71% of their course work in vocational courses; those seeking an associate degree (AA) were taking 87% of their work in general education courses; and those seeking an associate in science (AS) degree were taking 60% of their work in vocational courses. The courses taken by certificate and AS students were generally numbered less than 100; while AA students took 76% of their course work in courses numbered 100 or higher. The study also revealed that liberal arts majors took the bulk of their work (87%) in general education courses and that vocational majors took 62% of their courses in vocational education areas. Vocational students continued, as in previous years, to generate 80% of the vocational student semester hours (SSH's); however, the percentage of liberal arts majors served by the general education department dropped from 65% in 1978 to 61% in 1979. Other findings indicate that the proportion of SSH's generated in the general education area was slightly less than two-thirds of the total, and that 30% of all SSH's were in humanities courses. (JP)
