Students will demonstrate overall knowledge of the learning objectives for introductory accounting, management, and marketing courses.

Success is based on the grades achieved on the standardized department final exams administered in all ACC 111, ACC 101, MGT 101 and MKT 101 classes each term. The goal is 75% of the students will pass the exam.

In the areas of manage-ment and marketing, the standard was not only met but exceeded.

In the area of accounting neither ACC 111 nor ACC 101 results met or exceeded the standard. At the end of each year, the exams were reviewed to determine which areas the students were having difficultly. A faculty member has been charged with the task of compiling the data results and identity which learning objectives need additional attention.

Once the areas have been identified, teaching methodology will be reviewed. In addition, trends for each faculty member will be reviewed and discussed with the faculty member. Will continue to monitor the success rates to determine if the changes made in the format will result in continued success.

Management and marketing students will be able to communicate effectively through active listening and in written and/or oral communications.

Success is based on management and marketing students, who are enrolled in BUS 130, successfully completing a business résumé, portfolio and presentation. The goal is 80% of the students will achieve a score of 80% or higher on each element.

The standard was partially met. In the area of the of a business résumé, the students consistently exceeded the 80% benchmark.

In the other two areas, writing portfolio and presentation, the students did not meet the standard. Between the 2003-2004 academic year, the department changed the prerequisite for BUS 130 from ENG 100 to ENG 101. Instructor teaching Bus 130 will meet to determine what can be done to improve the scores on the presentation component.

There was marked improvement in the writing portfolios as a result of this change. However, it is still below the 80% goal. Instructors teaching BUS 130 will meet to determine what additional learning resources can be offered to the students.

Survey results: 100% of employers of management and marketing graduates who responded to the survey reported graduates were average or above average in 2 of the 4 areas of proficiency.

The two areas that graduates did not receive 100% satisfaction on (Knowledge of MGT/MKT Techniques and General BusinessKnowledge) were investigated. Additional emphasis was added to these items in courses MGT 101 and MKT 101. The department’s exit exams for these two courses reflect the expanded coverage in these areas. The department will determine if this action has a positive impact on the survey to be administered in 2006-07.

Subsequent surveys are scheduled to be conducted in 2006-07 in conjunction with the department’s 5-year program review cycle. The possibility of increasing the measurement to 95% will be discussed.

Although the benchmark was exceeded, analysis of each of the four areas revealed that MKT and MGT graduates reported below 90% satisfaction (84.9%) in two areas: General education in program of study and instruction in your general education program. These fall outside of the business department area. Therefore, the department is working with the college to address the satisfaction rating of below 90% in these areas. We have increased our efforts in communicating with students about the availability of math and English tutors, writing labs and student success centers. Also, we are comparing the alumni results with the currently enrolled students’ responses to a similar survey.

These results exceeded the benchmark of 90%.

Although the benchmark was exceeded, analysis of each of the four areas revealed that marketing and management graduates reported below 90% satisfaction (85.2%) in one area: General education in program of study. This falls outside of the business department area. Therefore the department is working with the college to address the satisfaction rating of below 90% in this area. We have increased our efforts in communicating with students about the availability of math and English tutors, writing labs and student success centers.

The department investigated the temporary decline in enrollment. The main factor for the decline in the years 2003 and 2004 was the introduction of the pre-business studies certificate. Prior to the certificate, the students would have been classified initially as ACC, MGT, or MKT students. Other factors include: current economic conditions that impact enrollment and that some of the business students are initially classified as career development students and are not switch over to business until a later date.

For the past 6 years, the overall business faculty’s rating exceeded the college-wide average.

Instructors are made aware of student comments from each evaluation period. Further analysis revealed that individual programs exceeded the college-wide average each year in all cases except for four. In two of the four cases, the difference was only .01 of a point. The remaining two times the largest variance was only .07 of a point.

Since the overall business average consistently exceeded the benchmark, no action was taken at this time. However, the department will monitor closely the results of each evaluation and investigate any incidence when the rating for a program drops below the college-wide average.

The evaluation scale is from 1-5, with 5 the highest.

As part of its commitment to excellence and faculty and staff satisfaction, the Business Department will strive for a “no-turnover” in faculty and staff.

The results are in line with the average class size benchmark (23 students) for the department. However, this measurement is influenced by low class size for several upper level business courses. As a result, the department will investigate ways to increase enrollment in the upper level courses by reviewing the class offerings to determine if a better sequencing of courses can be offered.

Further analysisrevealed that since the department’s average class size was below our benchmark, it directly impacted these results. As we attempt to move our average class size closer to the benchmark, the average student credit hours per section should also migrate closer to this benchmark.

The results are in line with the average class size benchmark (23 students) for the department. However, this measurement is influenced by low class size for several upper level business courses. As a result, the department will investigate ways to increase enrollment in the upper level courses by reviewing the class offerings to determine if a better sequencing of courses can be offered.

Further analysisrevealed that since the department’s average class size was below our benchmark, it directly impacted these results. As we attempt to move our average class size closer to the benchmark, the average student credit hours per section should also migrate closer to this benchmark.

Annual security report filed by the College.

Over the past few years the college has a very low instance rate of crime.

Although the security report indicates overall safety, an inquiry was made to see if individual concerns about safety were made to the Operations Department from business faculty and staff. Concerns were expressed over overgrown shrubbery by the front stairs leading to the Airport Campus offices and the entry door to the suite department offices on Airport campus. Both were resolved.

The shrubbery was removed and a new entry door and locks were installed. At this point the department does not feel that a separate survey is needed to determine if a safe environment is being provided.

College’s annual graduation report by program.

In the last three years, the three business degree programs, each exceeded the benchmark.

Further analysis revealed that the number of graduates declined slightly over the period. The faculty attributes this to the fact that over 50% of the business students are part-time and some students are able to secure employment prior to the completion of the program. The largest decline is in the marketing program. This may be due to the fact that students are showing an increase interest in management program due to the current job market.
