The Academic Crossover Report, Community Colleges, Fall 1977.
Hawaii Univ., Honolulu. Community Coll. System.
Patterns of course distribution by subject areas and of courses taken by various majors are described in this report on Hawaii community colleges. Distribution of courses by educational objective indicate that certificate students take 70% of their work in vocational courses, Associate of Arts students take 88% in general education courses, Associate of Science students take 60% in vocational courses, and special and unclassified students take 69% in general education courses. Course-taking patterns by major have remained stable in the past five years and indicate that liberal arts majors continue to take the bulk of their work in general education courses (88%), vocational majors continue to take most of their work in vocational education courses (62%), though unclassified students take proportionately more Student Semester Hours (SSH) in general education (68%) and less in vocational education (32%) compared to last year. As in the past, liberal arts majors are the largest consumers of general education courses, generating 65% of all SSH's, with vocational majors and unclassified students generating 28% and 5% SSH respectively. Vocational students continue to generate the bulk of the vocational SSH's (80%), followed by liberal arts majors and unclassified students (15% and 4% respectively). Tables and graphs are appended.
