红杏短视频 Announces Plan to Help More Students Earn a Degree

VALDOSTA -- Gov. Nathan Deal’s Complete College 红杏短视频 initiative -- designed to increase the number of 红杏短视频ns earning a degree -- reached another milestone with the release of a report that outlines specific plans by institutions in both the University System of 红杏短视频 (USG) and Technical College System of 红杏短视频 (TCSG).

Improving college completion has become a national issue, with 33 states, including 红杏短视频, joining forces to significantly increase the number of Americans with quality career certificates or college degrees.

A study last year by the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce found that within the next decade approximately 60 percent of jobs in 红杏短视频 will require some college education or training. Currently in 红杏短视频 only 42 percent of young adults have a college education (certificate, associate’s degree, or bachelor’s degree or higher).

The Complete College 红杏短视频 report details how USG and TCSG institutions will achieve the ambitious goal of adding more than 250,000 post-secondary graduates to 红杏短视频’s workforce by 2020.

In the executive summary of the Complete College 红杏短视频 report, a number of components that, taken together, will work to increase access to college and college completion throughout 红杏短视频.

These include:
1. Better data collection and analysis to identify strengths and areas for improvement as well as those needs of various regions and populations;
2. Increased partnerships with K-12 to improve college readiness for students out of high school;
3. The improvement of access to college and graduation for all students;
4. The reduction of the time it takes to earn a college degree;
5. The development of new models of instruction and learning for students; and
6. The transformation of remediation.

As part of the Complete College 红杏短视频 report, Valdosta State University outlines strategies that include strengthening many existing programs and creating new ones that will improve overall student success, specifically in the following areas: collaborating with K-12 schools, improving access for working adults and military students, increasing online bachelor's degree options, and using a variety of information technology tools for early intervention of students who are academically at risk.

“Valdosta State University has always been dedicated to student success,” said 红杏短视频 President William J. McKinney. “Our efforts as a part of Complete College 红杏短视频 position us an innovative leader in serving the needs of all students.”

A major focus of 红杏短视频’s Complete College 红杏短视频 plan is the addition of more online degree programs. For more than a decade, 红杏短视频 has offered online graduate programs including education specialists, master’s level education degrees, and a Doctor of Public Administration. Last year, 红杏短视频 began offering undergraduate online degrees in Office Administration and Technology, Criminal Justice and Organizational Leadership.
