Business Administration Program Curriculum Validation-Program Renewal Final Report

Introduction The Business Administration (BA) program is a two-year diploma program that develops students’ knowledge, skills, and abilities required to function successfully in the business sector. The BA program provides students with a broad business foundation during the first year of studies and during the second year of the program, the students focus their studies toward a particular specialty – currently, Accounting, Financial Services, Marketing, Office Management, or a generalist approach, called Administration.

In 2011, the Dean of Business and Applied Arts, Graham Thompson, and Chair of Applied Commerce & Management Education (ACME), Gail Shimonek, requested a Curriculum Validation – Program Renewal to address changes in the business sector since the program’s last renewal in 2002. The intent of the Curriculum Validation – Program Renewal process is to analyze current program status and to chart a plan for renewal. The process uses a structured format identifying current expectations of employers, a profile of the graduate, a description of the vision for a desired future state, and a 5 year renewal plan to create the future program. The project team consisted of Chair, Gail Shimonek, and BA Program Coordinators, Colleen Evans, Les Hanson, David Thomas, Joanne Vermette along with Curriculum Consultant, Craig Edwards, from RRC’s Program and Curriculum Development. The team met in September to determine the project plan, taking into consideration the challenge to establish meeting dates for the 60 plus faculty members of the largest diploma program at Red River College.

Curriculum Validation Deliverables The Business Administration Curriculum Validation - Program Renewal process involved 7 interrelated deliverables:

1. Environmental Scan and Analysis of the key findings of similar programs across Canada 2. Industry Occupational Analysis (DACUM) 3. Graduate Skills and Abilities and Gap Analysis Chart 4. Graduate Profile 5. Program Renewal Plan 6. A 5 Year Program Renewal Plan in Gantt Chart format 7. Final Report

Outcomes from the Deliverables Environmental Scan and Key Findings (Appendix A) The Environmental Scan provides the faculty and chair with information about similar programs that are offered in Colleges and Universities locally and nationally. The four program Coordinators shared the role of the Curriculum Validation Facilitator to gather detailed information on similar programs in Canadian colleges. The program Coordinators researched and recorded information from college web sites, and through email and telephone interviews with key program contacts. They identified trends and challenges influencing their program development and future direction. The scan included information under the following categories:

• Name of Institution, Location, Contact Person • Size of Program • Credential Issued • Program Features • Curriculum Model • Curriculum Content • Student Assessment • Current and Coming Challenges • Curriculum Renewal • Partnerships • Additional Information (Other and Comments)

For the Business Administration Program Renewal, 12 programs were scanned, including Red River College.

5. Prerequisite Skills/Credential Requirements Keyano, Selkirk, and BCIT programs request a minimum of C grade (60%) in high school

Math and English. Humber – students who do not meet required scores on the Math placement test are

required to complete a remedial math course in Term 1 prior to taking the math course required by all students in the Program.

6. Experiential Component RRC’s BA program has offered optional Co-operative Education (Co-op Ed) paid work terms

in the past but currently doesn’t have any work experience component – paid or unpaid. Eight of the eleven BA programs offer optional Co-op Ed work terms with 16 weeks

being the average length of a work term. Three programs do not offer Co-op. One of those three offers short unpaid work experience terms.

Algonquin – offers optional Co-op in only some of their majors – Materials and Operations

Management and International Business.

6

ACC – has a 16 week paid work placement in Year 1 (requiring a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or more). Centennial – offers optional Co-op terms in 3 year Advanced Diploma programs only – Accounting, Business Operations Management, Human Resources, International Business, Marketing, not for Aboriginal Stream (GPA of 2.5 or more to qualify). Humber – there are a limited number of spaces for students to mix a Co-op work experience with their academic learning. Acceptance is based on academic performance. Co-op involves two additional 12-15 week work terms following academic semester 2 and academic semester 4. Students are responsible for securing their own work placement. Work Placement (unpaid)–In the non-Co-op stream there is an 84-hour paid or unpaid work placement in the final Semester. Keyano – offers optional Co-op requiring one additional year to the regular non Co-op program (3 mandatory plus one optional work terms of about 4 months in length each). NSCC – offers optional Co-op term between years 1 and 2. Selkirk – offers optional Co-op (32 months total program). SIAST – offers optional Co-op in all “majors” except Financial Services and Business Insurance. The maximum number of students admitted to the optional Co-op is 20. Students have three, four-month Co-op work terms between completing the 1st year of the program and the fourth term of the diploma. (Note that Business Information has only a 2 term coop program that is mandatory). No Co-op CNA does not include Co-op but offers unpaid work experience (a 3-week and 6-week work exposure)

BCIT SAIT RRC

7. Delivery Features All programs indicate the following delivery

• Full-time • Part-time – evenings and weekends • Some courses are available by Distance Education – Online and Hybrid courses

8. Unique Content (courses) Introductory Business Courses RRC used to offer an Intro to Business course but it was changed to Introduction to E-

Business a few years ago. Five BA programs identified the following introductory or foundation courses: • ACC – Canadian Business • Centennial – Fundamentals of Business & Business Operations • Humber – Introduction to Business • SAIT – Intro to Business • SIAST – Introduction to Management

7

Taxation courses are offered by Algonquin, Centennial, and SIAST in the Accounting and Financial Services streams. Taxation courses are offered by ACC in the Financial Services stream. Taxation courses are offered by CNA, Humber, NSCC, SAIT, and Selkirk College in the Accounting stream. ACC Financial Services – use Canadian Securities courses. Supply Chain Management – Logistics Processes, Transportation Law, and Transportation Systems courses students register with and pay CITT, a professional development association in the supply chain and logistics sector in Canada. Besides RRC’s BA program, only ACC explicitly details a Capstone Business Project (wording below) Every year our second-year Business Administration students complete a capstone project that utilizes the knowledge and skills they’ve developed throughout their college business education. Students are organized into teams based on specializations, which include: accounting, human resources, management, marketing and supply chain management. Using the knowledge from their specializations, team members work towards a common goal, to come up with a viable business idea and develop a strong business plan. The capstone project kicks into gear when students’ return to class in the fall for their second-year of study with a team activity - selling lemonade. To simulate running their own business, students are divided into teams and compete against one another by selling lemonade at various locations around the city. During this simulated business scenario, students learn quickly how to work as a team. They are given basic supplies and have one hour to prepare and setup their stand. The students are the real winners in this competition as they learn valuable skills and experience from this opening day activity that will prove useful as they begin work on their capstone project. A year’s worth of hard work comes to an end in April when teams showcase their products and/or services in a simulated tradeshow and present their business plans to a panel of judges composed of members of the business community. Over the year, students learn valuable business and life lessons throughout this course as they put all their skills and knowledge to practice in conflict resolution, time management, presentation skills, control, trust, and organization. But all the blood, sweat and tears are replaced with a sense of pride once the course is complete. The practical, hands-on learning they’ve gained makes them invaluable once they join the workforce. Centennial offers a mandatory course for all BA students – Global Citizenship: From Social Analysis to Social Action Centennial also offers a Business – Aboriginal Stream http://www.centennialcollege.ca/Programs/ProgramOverview.aspx?Program=2806 Centennial College recognizes the need for sustainable partnerships between Aboriginal people and Canadian businesses, and has developed the Aboriginal Business Diploma program. This two-year supplements the specialized, cultural knowledge necessary for success within the business community. Unique courses offered are: Aboriginal Identity, Aboriginal Relationships, Aboriginal Governance and Sovereignty, Aboriginal Strategy and

Decisions, Aboriginal Challenges and Advocacy, and Values and Ethics in the Aboriginal Workplace

9. National Accreditation Body No accrediting body for Business Administration was identified.

10. Challenges

• Meeting the flexible delivery needs of students who cannot attend full-time • Lack of Math skills for incoming students • Lack of student preparedness for post-secondary education • An increase of Academic Dishonesty occurrences

11. Program Review

Only one college supplied detailed information about how they review programs – College of the North Atlantic • Program renewal is conducted every 5 years and is a 6-9 month process • A team consisting of instructors, campus administrators, dean, and program developer

oversees the process • DACUM Occupational Analysis is used to gather industry feedback • Focus groups consisting of instructors, graduates, and students are used to gather

program information • Industry DACUM results are compared with current program (gap analysis) • Final document with proposed changes is forwarded to the School team for quality

assurance and then to academic counsel for approval prior to implementation BCIT – conducts Curriculum Renewal every 5 years with surveys to industry partners and former students. Keyano – conducts an internal program review every year in the spring, conducts an external program renewal every 5 years.

12. Other Information Centennial College – hosts the Institute for Global Citizenship and Equity Students can choose Signature Learning Experiences (SLE) Students in this program develop a portfolio documenting their engagement with the College's signature global citizenship and equity competencies. For more information on Global Citizenship and Equity, the GC&E Portfolio and the supports available to you, please visit http://www.centennialcollege.ca/citizenshipandequity.

Selkirk College Second year students mentor local high school students on a business plan project, "Experience Selkirk" to highlight various College programs. BCIT BA program includes a 10 week Business Consulting Project in the final term.

Industry Occupational Analysis (DACUM) Chart (Appendix B) The Industry Occupational Analysis using the DACUM process is a component of the curriculum development process at Red River College and provides the program with a description of regional occupational needs for skills, attitudes, and abilities. Due to the structure of the BA program consisting of a common first year with second year students choosing a major area of study in either Accounting, Financial Services, Marketing, or Office Management, the project team determined a separate Occupational Analysis was needed for each of the 4 majors. Curriculum Consultants from Program and Curriculum Development facilitated the Occupational Analysis using the two day brainstorming DACUM (Developing a Curriculum) model. Craig Edwards and Robert Cordingley facilitated the Marketing Occupational Analysis on November 23 and December 13, 2011. Eight practitioners from the field were asked to identify the major competencies and related skills required by entry-level workers in the Marketing field. Craig Edwards and Sandra Sukhan facilitated the Accounting Occupational Analysis on November 30 and December 7, 2011. Eleven practitioners from the field were asked to identify the major competencies and related skills required by entry-level workers in the Accounting field. Craig Edwards, Gene Semchych, and Robert Cordingley facilitated the Office Management Occupational Analysis on November 21 and December 5, 2011. Five practitioners from the field were asked to identify the major competencies and related skills required by entry-level workers in the Office Management field. In addition, to save time and resources, the project used the results of the Financial Services Occupational Analysis DACUM chart from March 5 and 16, 2007, facilitated by Gene Semchych and former PCD Manager, Mike Stuhldreier. Eleven practitioners from the field were asked to identify the major competencies and related skills required by entry-level workers in the Financial Services field. A total of 35 practitioners from the field participated in the Occupational Analysis using the DACUM model. Once the DACUMs were completed, Craig Edwards combined the four charts into one by identifying competencies duplicated in each chart. The resulting chart consisted of 34 competencies for the BA program – in the following categories: 11 Common, 7 Accounting, 5 Marketing, 5 Office Management, and 6 Financial Services.

10

Graduate Skills and Abilities and Gap Analysis Chart (Appendix C) Gail Shimonek, Chair of Applied Commerce & Management Education organized the first of four workshops with the BA program faculty and Coordinators on February 29, 2012. In this half day workshop, the faculty reviewed the expectations of the field practitioners represented in the chart resulting from merging the DACUM charts from the four separate Occupational Analysis. Four Curriculum Consultants from Program and Curriculum Development each met with a faculty group to review the four specialty areas. This provided a rare opportunity for the faculty to review the program specialties as a whole rather than only the specific courses they teach. Through a detailed review of each competency and related skills and abilities identified by industry representatives in the Occupational Analysis, the faculty determined realistic learning goals for their program graduates considering the length of the program and resources available. Faculty involved agreed the competencies and related skills identified by industry representatives were important for success, however they adjusted some of the competency ratings considering the limited program time frame. All but two accounting competencies were determined to be relevant. The accounting faculty determined that BA Accounting grads would not have developed the competency to “Advise on Organizational Corporate Structure” and “Apply Tax Laws and Regulations” due to the limited timeframe for the Accounting specialty courses. The second workshop with BA faculty was on May 1, specifically to review the 11 competencies identified as common to all specialties. Sixteen faculty took part in this workshop. The outcome of these two workshops was a composite chart that identifies the skills and abilities necessary for success as a BA graduate. The chart is the result of:

1) A thorough review of the competencies identified in the Occupational Analysis (DACUM) Chart

2) The teaching faculty’s assessment of what would constitute realistic learning expectations within the program timeframe

3) Identified courses in which the skills and abilities are taught and assessed including the RRC College Wide Learning Outcomes (soft skills)

This chart serves as the focus for curriculum renewal and the basis for the development of the program’s Graduate Profile.

11

Graduate Profile (Appendix D) At the third workshop, on May 11, 2012, Craig Edwards and Robert Cordingley helped the BA faculty develop a profile of their program graduates using the Graduate Skills and Abilities Chart. A Graduate Profile is a set of outcome statements that describe the essential and enduring knowledge, skills, and abilities expected by a graduate of a program. By providing focus for the program, it can ensure all learning outcomes and related assessments are relevant to the expected learning of students in the program. It is also helpful for course revision. The Graduate Profile also helps facilitate Recognition for Prior Learning (RPL) at the program level. The resulting profile consists of 35 competencies to describe the BA graduate depending on their choice of specialization: 11 Common competencies plus the following: 7 Accounting, 6 Marketing, 5 Office Management, and 6 Financial Services competencies. Program Renewal Vision and Goals Summary (Appendix E) PCD Curriculum Consultants, Craig Edwards and Robert Cordingley, facilitated the third and final workshop with the BA faculty on June 1, 2012. In addition to the faculty, this series of workshops included the Program Chair and the four coordinators. The participants were encouraged to think “outside the box” and brainstormed ideas in response to the focusing question, “What will the BA program look like in five years?” The brainstormed ideas were sorted into categories, named, and to focus priorities, voted on by the group. Small groups then identified possible actions to accomplish each goal based on the brainstormed ideas. The resulting Vision and eight Goals identified at this session are articulated in the graphic below and for the complete details, please see the list in Appendix E.

13

5 Year Program Renewal Plan (Appendix F) The 5 Year Program Renewal Plan is the result of translating the preceding five deliverables into a coherent plan for the renewal of the Business Administration program. After reviewing the Vision, Goals, and Action items, the program Chair, Coordinators, and PCD Curriculum Consultant, Craig Edwards met to confirm the final content, wording, and sequence. In addition, dates for each action were set based on anticipated resources available. The vision, goals, and action items are included below.

Global Citizenship and Equity Portfolio Students in this program will develop a portfolio documenting their engagement with the College's signature global citizenship and equity competencies. For more information on Global Citizenship and Equity, the GC&E Portfolio, and the supports available to you, please visit http://www.centennialcollege.ca/citizenshipandequity. Our Signature Learning Experience (SLE) has four key components:

• GNED 500 – a required General Education course entitled "Global Citizenship: From Social Analysis to Social Action

• Portfolio Learning – the use of portfolios for you to use as evidence of growth and understanding of global citizenship, equity, and inclusion

• Professional Development and Learning for all college staff – so that those at the front of our classrooms are well-qualified to teach GNED 500, support portfolio learning, or support the Signature Learning Experience (S.L.E.) through integration into school life and learning

• Incorporation of Global Citizenship & Equity practices across the College – asking our staff and students to live the very beliefs we hope to impart through the Signature Learning Experience (S.L.E.)

Your Signature Learning Experience (S.L.E.) Portfolio allows you to document your learning and the insights drawn from it. It should evolve as a companion piece to your standard résumé.

95

Centennial (cont’d)

There are many different ways that a portfolio documenting learning in global citizenship and equity can be of benefit in our ever-changing world. Most notably, employers today are very interested in the cultural and communications aspects of diversity that lead to greater productivity and efficiency within the workplace, as well as the potential expansion of market segments to our global world. They are also aware of the rapid rate of demographic changes: by 2011 100% of Canada's net labour market will depend on immigration. The people running today's businesses understand the value of hiring people who have the skills to develop respectful working relationships, which work to foster productivity. They are looking for individuals who offer skills related to problem-solving, conflict resolution and ethical behaviour within the context of social, cultural and racial diversity.

CNA Students are awarded either a ‘complete’ or ‘incomplete’ for work exposure. Evaluation is based on:

• Attendance • Work report journal completed by students • One on-site visit with student and employer

All students who have been accepted and confirmed their intent to enroll must take placement tests in English and Math. Those students who do not meet the required score in Math must complete a remedial math course prior to enrolling in the otherwise required math course. These students are assigned to a first semester class section that substitutes remedial math (BMAT 110) for Mathematics of Finance (BMAT 220). More than 50% of students entering the BA program do not complete the program as it has been laid out (courses are delivered in Fall, Winter, and Summer offering students scheduling flexibility). Students who enter the 2-Yr Business program must take additional accounting courses if they wish to transfer to the 3-Yr Business Administration program specializing in Accounting (the Accounting course in the 2-Yr program does not meet the professional accounting requirements).
