Washington's community and technical colleges (CTCs) play an important role in producing baccalaureate degree graduates in the state. They expand opportunities for both graduates and employers, build upon professional-technical associate degrees, and provide a clear pathway for students who may be place bound or have difficulty finding a transfer opportunity for their associate degree. They also help address employers' need to successfully recruit qualified applicants who have both job-specific technical skills as well as the skills learned through a baccalaureate program. Applied baccalaureate degree programs are approved through the Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges (SBCTC) to achieve the following policy goals: (1) Increase educational pathways for professional-technical associate graduates who have been limited in their ability to apply credits toward a bachelor degree. The workforce student population is comprised of a large portion of people of color, older working adults and people (primarily women) who are place bound with family responsibilities; (2) Meet state goals for increasing the total number of baccalaureate degrees awarded by public two-year and four-year institutions to 42,400 per year. To do this, the CTC system will need to increase the number of students who transfer to baccalaureate programs by 25 percent and increase the number of applied baccalaureate graduates to 1,400 by the year 2030; and (3) Expand the workforce mission of CTCs further to better serve the needs of local and state employers. This study is an evaluation of the CTC system's progress towards meeting the above three policy goals. [For a companion report, see ED573040.]
