All approved occupational programs in Illinois public community colleges are listed in this inventory, as well as the occupational programs to be implemented during 1982 through 1984. The occupational programs are listed according to Higher Education General Information Survey (HEGIS) numbers for the following program areas: business and commerce, data processing, health services and paramedical, mechanical and engineering, natural science, and public service related. In addition to indicating which colleges offer each of the programs, the inventory classifies the programs as: (1) district programs, which can be developed by any Illinois community college district if they are justified by employer demand, student interest, and available resources; (2) area programs, which are dependent upon the needs of a geographic area larger than a district; (3) regional programs, which serve a larger section of the state and are sufficiently specialized that no more than one would probably be approved for a region; (4) statewide programs, which are so specialized that only one or two would be approved in the state, but which would admit students from any district; and (5) cooperative programs, which are approved through contractual agreements with other institutions. If a program is proposed for implementation in the next 3 years, the projected date is indicated on the table. (KL)
