Graduate Education Issues and Challenges: Community College Applied and Workforce Baccalaureates
Floyd, Deborah L.; Felsher, Rivka A.; Catullo, Linda
New Directions for Community Colleges, n158 p95-101 Sum 2012
The acceptance of community college applied and workforce baccalaureates (AWB) degrees by university graduate level programs has not been adequately vetted by academics and policymakers. Over the past decade and a half, the primary motivation for offering community college baccalaureate degrees was to fulfill unmet needs in the local workforce and to expand baccalaureate degree access locally. To date, little attention has been given to the next steps for students along a learning pathway that may include graduate education. This chapter discusses challenges of the next steps along the baccalaureate degree articulation pathway: graduate education. The articulation of community college applied and workforce baccalaureate degrees with university graduate degrees is the next frontier in the community college baccalaureate movement. This new frontier of AWB to graduate degree articulation is worthy of attention by practitioners, researchers, and policymakers.
