The Liberal Arts Division is committed to delivering high-quality educational experiences for our students. While each degree program within the division has specific outcomes to achieve, broadly, the academic and extracurricular offerings within the Liberal Arts division focus on student success, retention and intellectual growth. Academic advising, individual courses, programs, extracurricular activities and student support offered throughout the division ultimately prepare students for successful transfer to a four-year institution and / or for the workplace.

For Academic Year 2017-2018, focus will be on these areas, all of which align with both the Academic Master Plan and the College's Strategic Plan:

Increase student success and retention through initiatives, pilots and support; Intentionally plan and develop student cohorts; Provide opportunities to showcase student work; Coordinate and streamline offerings, activities, and spaces; Bolster each program's learning outcomes; Plan technology use and treat as a continuum; Highlight connections between programs and the greater community (as a method of friend-building and maintaining currency).

Individual departmental plans revealed the following themes that require resources in order to achieve stated goals:

Facilities improvement

Technology & Equipment

Professional Development within departments

Student Support

Cohort development

Personnel

Outreach / friend-building
