4 Academic Affairs S.W.O.T. Analysis Strengths Retention and graduation rates remain strong Highest percentage of courses taught by full-time faculty Flexibility and adaptability within academic programs Assessment efforts are improving and expanding Collaborative and transparent relationship between Academic Affairs and Faculty Senate Strong, targeted support of faculty professional development, student support, and scholarly activity Productive relationships with external & community contacts Continued national recognition as desired partner in educational innovation: NEH, NSF, Carnegie, AASCU, CIEL US News & World Report, Princeton Review rankings Carnegie Community Engagement Classification SOAR program continues to successfully acclimate new students to Stockton life Opportunities Collaborative potential between Stockton, other institutions (higher education, corporations) Academic Affairs, Institutional Research, and Admissions Office working collaboratively on Enrollment Mgmt plan Better decision-making through data collection & analysis Entrepreneurial opportunities to meet regional needs: - Flexible delivery methods, scheduling (modality), locations, e.g. Hammonton, Noyes, SRI & ETTC - Offer more programs without expanding space or faculty needs (4+1, 3+2 programs, etc.) - Distance learning, blended options - Seaview, Jimmie Leeds Road corridor Next Generation Park / FAA Tech Center Weaknesses Lengthy external process to establish new academic programs Affordability advantage continues to erode Stockton often perceived as a best-kept secret by students and parents (vs. first choice ) Direct assessment results remain inconsistent (student engagement [NSSE]; learning outcomes [CLA] ) Our students tend to see themselves as citizens of southern New Jersey as compared to citizens of the world Our students are becoming less-connected to Stockton s distinctive practices, e.g. preceptorial advising, overall philosophical approach to liberal arts education Threats Other colleges and universities now offer opportunities once unique to Stockton: QUAD, Writing Across Curriculum, etc. Continued consumer attitude exhibited by students and parents: high discount expectations, low commitment Multiple changes are converging on higher education: educational content & delivery, population demographics, funding, technology, assessment & accountability Encroachment by other institutions (community colleges, other four-year institutions) AA Program Review February 3 rd, 2011 Page 3

5 Emerging Trends Stockton Trends (Academic Affairs) Data-driven decision-making at all levels Increasing off-campus presence Strategic planning is providing cohesive direction, purpose Faculty Ratio improves (Fall 2010: 17.9) Preparation for 2012 Middle States visit (reaccreditation) New academic programs: Digital Literacy and Multimedia Design, Jazz Studies, MA Educational Leadership On the horizon: BAIS, Sustainability State Trends Budget conditions continue to impact higher education Tuition policies: will state continue to cap public colleges? NJ remains top exporter of college students: 30,000 per year (NJASCU Sourcebook, 2010) Many state colleges achieved Fall 2010 enrollment numbers by lowering academic standards New Jersey has no capital budget for higher education facilities; has not passed a significant general obligation bond investment since 1988 (NJASCU Sourcebook, 2010) Students share of educational costs for college has increased from 30% to 57% since FY 1990 (NJASCU Sourcebook, 2010) NJ Stars program is changing Local Trends Increased competition for students Programs and partnerships between high schools, colleges Economic difficulties continue affecting gaming/tourism industry (NJ casinos experienced 4 th consecutive down year) Will Atlantic City transition into high-end entertainment destination? How would this impact southern NJ & Stockton? Atlantic City Airport expansion plans National Trends Federal government s triple mandate for higher education: - improve completion rates - improve degree production - improve students educational attainment levels Greater attention to assessment and accountability at all educational levels Increasing need for remedial services for high school students Millennial Generation students accept strong parental influence, want flexibility, want degrees to lead to jobs Innovative certificate programs are proliferating at community colleges, for-profit schools (NY Times, 2011) Student debt crisis - 67% of public school graduates have debt, averaging $24,000 per student (Project on Student Debt, from CNBC, 2011) - growing at a rate of $2,854 per second; will surpass $1 trillion in 2012 (FinAid.org, from CNBC 2011) AA Program Review February 3 rd, 2011 Page 4

6 What Does It All Mean? (1) Public colleges will be expected to achieve more with less. (2) Calls for greater assessment and accountability are not going away. Ever. (3) Student and parent expectations will continue to be consumer oriented. (4) Higher education innovators will continue embracing entrepreneurship, adaptability and flexibility as key operating principles. (5) The debt burden of education will become increasingly challenging for students and their families. Tuition increases will continue to outpace inflation and median family income (AASCU, 2009). For the first time ever, Americans now owe more on their student loans than they do on their credit cards (FinAid.org, from CNBC, 2011). AA Program Review February 3 rd, 2011 Page 5
