Since all of the course requirements of the programs are already being offered to meet the needs of students in other business programs as well, some issues with regard to quality, cost and need are inherently difficult to isolate by program.

Comments on Methodology
• It should be noted that the business programs at L&C overlap in many ways. Students sometimes start with a short-term certificates and subsequently continue with their studies to complete degrees.
• Also, most of the courses are common to many programs. Therefore, it is often difficult to separate factors unique to a particular program.
• As a result, a lot of the information provided in this presentation will include Business Department data from departmental transfer courses and other business career program courses as well.

Certificate Program Need
The certificate programs are not designed as stand alone programs to prepare someone for a career in business. However, they can serve as a good foundation for further study.
They are also especially useful to the working adult that simply wants to expand their knowledge in a specific area of business. This can provide added expertise for an existing job or prepare the person for assuming added duties or a new position with the same firm or a different one.
The certificates also provide documentation of learning experiences that can be added to a portfolio for seeking a promotion, a new position, or venture funding.

Strategies for Reducing Cost(applicable to all Business Department offerings)
Some program changes resulted in the substitution of higher enrollment courses for lower enrollment courses. Made some changes to the schedule rotation to reduce the number of multiple-section classes. Eliminated some day classes and required all students to attend evening classes for some limited program requirements.

Strategies & Cost Consequences
2005 - 2007 Academic YearsEmphasis was placed on reduction of class sections to reduce cost and to eliminate most class cancellations.
2008 & 2010 Academic YearsEmphasis was placed on new initiatives such as 3+1 programs with senior institutions, the Thirty & Out Program, and the expansion of online offerings. Increased demand for classes resulted in more sections being offered. More recently, initial piloting of online sections and the effect of new multiple sections contributed to a modest decrease in class size.
