Initiative TitleImplement the college approved off-cycle OTA Program at the Newburgh Campus
Submitted in Previous Year(s)No
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale

This Program has been approved by the curriculum committee and we would like to begin the process to move forward. This initiative would provide an identical program to the current, accredited OTA program that is offered on the Middletown campus. This program serves an under-served population and will allow students to maintain their employment status while obtaining a marketable degree.

Consequences of this initiative not being funded

No opportunity to increase enrollment in a highly sought after healthcare profession.

Department GoalsCollaborate with Health Professions Programs to develop an inter-professional simulation/teaching lab., Continue to initiate a CART presence on the Newburgh Campus and in community to provide services to the Newburgh/Eastern Orange County area and Middletown area..

Institutional Goals

Goal How will the initiative support this institutional goal?
Offer a non traditional schedule/academic program for students that have to work or could not attend on college during the day.
Collaborate across all areas of the College to ensure relevant support for academic programming and a comprehensive, diverse student experience. An off cycle OTA program would provide another avenue for increased enrollment and support academic programming.
By offering a flexible schedule for those students that have to work. And a different design for learning that acknowledge and support the diverse and transitional nature of students’ educational paths.
Expand alternative scheduling to provide multiple avenues for successful academic degree completion especially for those students that could not attend during the day.
