John Tyler Community College in Chester, Virginia, began a program in architecture and building construction in fall 2003 to meet the needs of the Hispanic community--a much neglected but rapidly growing segment of the regional population. After first hiring a Hispanic director (Mr. Jorge Mora), a program was developed that heavily involved the Hispanic community, from financial partnerships to internships, community involvement, tutoring, relationships with other countries, and future course offerings on the Internet. The initial classes of the program are offered in Spanish by bilingual instructors using English texts and software. At the same time, students are required to take English as a second language (ESL) classes so that they can progress to regular English-only classes before they graduate. The number of programs has expanded beyond architecture and building construction to technical studies, accounting, and business administration.
