Abstract | Three institutions of higher education in central Washington State designed a collaborative venture to meet the needs of placebound students working toward Bachelors degrees in early childhood education. Placebound students are defined as students who, because of time, work, and/or family commitments, are unable to enroll in college courses taught during traditional time periods on a typical college campus. The collaborative program was initiated when a state-supported four-year branch campus was proposed for a rural area underserved by state-supported institutions of higher education but served by a private, nonprofit college (Heritage College). The demography of the rural Yakima Valley; the demography of the institutions (Yakima Valley Community College, Central Washington University, and Heritage College); and the history and development of the collaborative program are described. Six major areas of concern are addressed, including: integration of curricula and academic calendars; faculty assignments; awarding of degrees and certification; application process; tuition differences; and financial aid. By sharing facilities, faculties, expertise, and programs, each institution has been able to deliver instruction to underserved students at a lower cost and over a larger geographical area. An appendix provides institutional profiles and course requirements. (JDD) |
