E. Evidence that the college is managing fiscal resources appropriately.

Fiscal data to be provided by FLDOE.


F. Evidence that the college has maintained its primary mission and responsibility requirements as outlined in section 1007.33(2)-(3), F.S.

Miami Dade College has maintained its primary mission and responsibility requirements as outlined in 1007.33 (2) and (3) FS as follows:

Miami Dade College, a member of the Florida College System (FCS) governed by a seven-member District Board of Trustees and a College

President, is locally based, serving Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties (Region 23).

o MDC is responsive to local educational needs and maintains its primary mission by offering high quality, affordable education and training

opportunities through the Associate in Arts degree, Associate in Science and Associate in Applied Science degrees, Advanced Technical

Certificates, College Credit Certificates, Career Technical Education Certificates, baccalaureate degrees, Certificates of Professional

Preparation, and Continuing Education (non-credit instruction) on eight campuses and several outreach centers in Miami-Dade County, FL.

o Fall 2012 enrollment data (95.50% of MDC students enrolled in AA, AS, AAS, CCC, CTE, and Non- degree programs) confirm that MDC

meets its responsibility for awarding associate level and career programs and responds to community needs for postsecondary academic and

career education as prescribed in 1004.65(5) FS. According to Community College Week’s Top 100 Associate Degree Producers 2013, within

a two year period (2010-2012) Miami Dade College’s Benjamin León School of Nursing ranked second in Nursing: Registered,

Administration, Research and Clinical graduates (n=1,047), excluding predominately on-line institutions.

As stated in the MDC 2012-2014 College Catalog, Pg. 6, MDC maintains an open-door admission policy for associate-level degree programs and

workforce education programs. The College welcomes all students regardless of gender, race, color, marital status, age, religion, national origin,

disability, veteran’s status, sexual orientation, or genetic information.

MDC provides outreach to underserved populations through initiatives such as:

o The “Feria para Apprender”, an event designed to provide Spanish-only speaking parents with information to assist with student academic

success and to create a long-lasting college-going culture, as well as develop a bilingually educated workforce that provides the region

with a global competitive advantage.

o RN-BSN students have participated in more than 15 community health fairs in underserved Hispanic, African-American, and Haitian

communities; thirty RN-BSN students have traveled to the Dominican Republic to provide care to more than 1500 needy children and

adults in the bateyes.

o To assist students in preparing for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) disciplines, the School of Science offers a free

tutoring and mentoring program for students enrolled in math, chemistry, and biology courses. Students who take advantage of these free

programs (Peer-led Team-Learning) have shown improved course outcomes by at least a letter grade.

o The School of Justice facilitated a program of unique hands-on educational activities for children from low income areas under the

auspices of the “I Have a Dream" Foundation. This foundation motivates and empowers children from low income areas to reach their

educational and career goals by providing a long-term program of mentoring, tutoring and enrichment and tuition assistance for higher

education. The School of Justice provided sound strategic planning methodologies to motivate these children to plan both short-term and

long-term educational and career goals to provide the foundational underpinnings for successful college degree attainment and future

employment.

o The School of Justice facilitated visits/events providing informational, visual and hands-on educational activities regarding safety concerns

and other related topics to over 4000+ students and their parents/guardians in Miami and surrounding local communities. Examples

include:

MDC complies with all provisions of the Statewide Articulation Agreement which relate to 2-year and 4-year public degree-granting institutions as

adopted by the State Board of Education pursuant to 1007.23 FS by ensuring that associate level programs are designed to articulate into upper

division baccalaureate programs and meet requirements as stipulated in the State-wide Common Prerequisite Manual and Statewide Articulation

Agreements.

MDC does not award graduate credit and does not participate in intercollegiate athletics beyond the 2-year level.

MDC offers the Associate in Arts and 69 Associate in Science and Associate of Applied Science degrees. MDC is a Level II institution and no

Associate degree programs have been terminated as a result of authorized baccalaureate degree programs being offered. MDC is also in compliance

with the Legislative intent that the primary responsibility of a Florida College System institution is to offer associate degrees that provide access to

a university. As evidenced by 2011-2012 graduation data, 84.05% (n=11,257) of MDC students completed an associate’s degree.

Students in the program are trained using state-of-the-art facilities and

equipment that mirrors “real-world” experience. Miami Dade College

is one of only a handful of colleges in the nation that operates its own

broadcast television network, MDC-TV, in which students comprise

the studio production crew. This in-house internship enables students to

gain hands-on experience and build their professional reel (portfolio)

for future employment while earning credits towards completing their

degree.

Capstone Projects provide our students with a rigorous, hands-on

experience in industry standards and practices in all aspects of motion

picture and television production. Each student producer pitches

(proposes) their media project idea before a panel of faculty, staff, and

entertainment industry professionals to receive a “green light” to go

into production. The production team goes through all phases of

production including; budgeting, scheduling, casting, filming, editing,

and final screening (exhibition) of their project. Five Capstone Projects

were selected and completed in May 2013.

In order to meet the demands of the South Florida film and television

production workforce*, the BAS offers hands-on training and “real-

world” education using a vast array of state-of-the-art facilities and

equipment including:

90% of Students surveyed would recommend the baccalaureate degree program

The reputation of MDC is under rated in my opinion. I have received an EXCELLENT education with

the most professional professors I have encountered… to be honest that institution is but a name. The

quality of education is equal if not better for the exaggerated fraction of the price. No wonder this

school was honored with the number one college in the country three consecutive times. No wonder

our President made two appearances and spoke twice in our college. There are so many Universities of

prestige in South Florida and he chose our Miami Dade College. I am honored and privileged to have

attended this school for my higher education. It is a shame that it does not have a graduate's program

as of yet. I thank you for this journey and I praise and admire those who make it happen for the

professionals of tomorrow.

I am proud I attended Miami Dade College and completed my undergraduate degree thanks to the help

of numerous instructors and general staff. MDC promised opportunity, and indeed it delivered. Not

only did I get the opportunity to develop my skills as a student, but as an individual as well.
