PHILOSOPHY AND CRITERIA FOR BACCALAUREATE DEGREE AND GENERAL EDUCATION 6205B

POLICY:

The awarding of a Baccalaureate degree is intended to represent more than an accumulation of units. It is to symbolize a successful attempt on the part of the College to lead students through patterns of learning experiences designed to develop progressively higher level capabilities and insights.

In addition to these accomplishments, the student shall possess sufficient depth in the baccalaureate area of study to contribute to entry level career preparation and lifetime interest.

The Solano Community College District General Education Program promotes skill development and knowledge acquisition through the study of ideas, the analysis of data, and the interpretation of issues and events. Students completing the Solano Community College District General Education program are systematic, critical, creative thinkers and clear communicators who are intellectually curious, culturally and scientifically literate, civic-minded and aesthetically appreciative. These students are able to demonstrate the General Education Learning Outcomes (GELO) when appropriate.

The Superintendent-President shall establish procedures to determine degree and requirements that include appropriate involvement of the Solano Community College Curriculum Committee. The procedures shall assure that the graduation requirements are published in the district’s catalog and are included in other resources that are convenient for students.
