  1. Selected Slides From:The “How” of Washington Higher Education: Missions Across the System, Alternative Delivery Options, and Rational Rules for Growth System Design Plan Meeting Room 160 Gray Wolf, Everett Community College July 20, 2009

  2. Shape of Higher Education: Undergraduate education in Washington is disproportionately offered at research institutions and CTCs

  3. Recap: Degree Goals To reach Master Plan degree goals by 2030, Washington higher education will need to go beyond increases in degree production that can be gained by population growth alone. Policies and alternative delivery options need to produce an additional: • 8,000 bachelor’s degrees • 8,000 graduate degrees • 5,000 CTC certificates and degrees

  4. Public degree production has grown rapidly at centers, branch campuses, and other off-campus locations.

  5. DRAFT: Principles for Rational Rules for Growth • The new programs, sites, centers or campuses: • are compatible with the HECB’s Master Plan policies and priorities; • are based on demand demonstrated through actual enrollments; supply additional capacity not adequately provided by existing higher education providers; • can be scaled to meet anticipated future demand; • leverages resources of the existing system of higher education; • provides the most cost efficient alternative to meet needs of students, employers, and the community; and • are educationally and economically justified based upon the priorities and needs of the citizens of Washington. • Options requiring a substantial commitment of resources should first operate as a University Center or University Partnership Center to clearly demonstrate demand. • Adding a new degree level represents a change in mission. This type of institutional expansion should not have a detrimental effect on overall current degree production. • Existing transfer policies and freshmen admission standards may need to be reviewed.

  6. Rational Rules for Growth are predicated on the idea that capacity follows demand
