Considerations for ASC Program Reviews

The Academic Subject Certificates offered at WCC are part of the Liberal Arts Program and are not separate programs requiring unique programmatic courses. Each ASC is comprised of courses, selected from the College’s Liberal Arts repertoire, that develop the SLOs for each unique ASC. As such, there are no separate program courses and student enrollment may be in any course offered. Consequently, the reporting of SSHs, class size, class fill rate, etc., is by general distribution in College courses, not by program course as there are none.
Similarly, there are no direct program costs associated with the ASCs as the costs of the classes are part of the offerings of the Liberal Arts Program. If there are other costs attributable to the ASC they are reported.
