Online Submission
Beginning in the 2000-01 Academic Year, the Los Rios Community College District Office of Institutional Research (IR) began a collaboration with Occupational and Area Deans as well as Faculty from each of the four Los Rios Colleges located in Sacramento, CA (American River College, Cosumnes River College, Folsom Lake College and Sacramento City College) to initiate a series of program specific follow-up surveys. In the 2002-03 Academic Year, academic programs in support of occupational education or transfer were added, beginning with Biology. Each of these studies looked at how well prepared former students are as a result of their Los Rios Community College's coursework. This report is a summary of seven program studies that were conducted during the previous two academic years, providing highlights in the following areas: A profile of each program's former students (both degree earners and those who left the program) (1) An evaluation of coursework taken (2) An evaluation of preparation for employment (3) Key Themes from comments provided.
