Student Success Dec. 4, 2012
Recruit, Retain and Graduate • Long-term Enrollment Plan • Ensure we enroll students who will be successful at BGSU • Traditional UG student population • Non-traditional UG student population • Graduate Students (full-time and part-time) • Why goal of 25,000 student headcount?
Traditional UG Students • Of highly qualified, admitted students, increase number of enrolled students (yield) • Adjust scholarship program • For example, increase number of “honors scholarship” awards • Focus on majors with low yield rates • For example, “pre-professional” programs • Personalize admission programs for highly qualified students • Better articulate the value of a BGSU undergraduate degree
Non-Traditional UG Students • Increase number of qualified transfer students • Leverage articulation agreements to attract students in specific programs • New transfer student orientation (day, evening, virtual) • Workshops for community college counselors/advisors • Increase outreach efforts in key metropolitan areas throughout Ohio • “Finish What you Started” – a degree completion program for “stop-outs”
Graduate Students • Aligned with the Graduate Programs Strategic Plan • Develop new programs for “professional” masters programs as well as interdisciplinary programs • Develop additional accelerated bachelor/masters programs • Strategically allocate existing scholarship dollars
Graduate and UG Student • International • Focus on specific countries and regions (China, India, South Korea, key countries in South America and Middle East) • Faculty-led recruiting trips and affiliation agreements • Visits to Embassies • Alternative Delivery Methods (On-line, Hybrid, Weekend, Evening programs) • Increase visibility of existing programs • Develop additional alternative delivery methods of existing programs • Develop new programs
Retain and Graduate • Academic and Administrative Policies and Procedures • Support and Feedback for Students • Progress Reporting • Learning Commons • Academic and Career Advising • Academics • Assessment of Student Learning • Learning Assistants in Large Lecturers • Linked Courses • First-year Academic Seminar • Faculty Support and Development (Grants and integration of centers) • Ongoing Faculty Conversations (Craig Zirbel)
How can faculty help? • Retention • Aligned with BGSU strategies, • Identifying and developing partnerships with community colleges and domestic/international universities • New Program development • Built on existing BGSU strengths • Aligned with future directions
For Discussion:BGSU commitment to students • Four year graduation commitment • Experiential education opportunity for every student (internship, study abroad, service learning, applied capstone, etc.) • Success based scholarships • For qualified students, the ability to graduate debt free of tuition and fees
