Note: We have not computed cost per program for for-credit associate programs. Youngstown State University's 2008-09 undergraduate resident tuition (Instructional, General, and Information Services Fees) is $3,360.48 for students registering for 12 to 16 credit hours per semester. (Annual tuition = $6,720.96). For students registering for 1 - 11 credits, the tuition would be $280.04 per credit hour. (Last year, YSU’s community-college planning committee estimated the cost per student after financial aid and scholarships at roughly $100 per credit for students from Mahoning and Trumbull Counties.)

SECTION D

What do you consider to be your greatest program strengths and why?

Given the nature of this template, we have listed only strengths at the 2-year level and strengths that affect the 2-year level.

• Many of YSU’s associate-level programs are accredited by discipline-specific accrediting bodies and/or part of “2+2” programs that are accredited by the major accrediting bodies in the field (e.g., ABET for most AAS and baccalaureate engineering degrees, AACSB for baccalaureate business degrees). Engineering AAS programs (except drafting) are accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET. Each AAS health program is accredited by the respective discipline-related accrediting body. AACSB does not accredit associate-level programs, but the baccalaureate programs with which YSU’s associate-level business programs articulate are accredited by AACSB.

• Except for the ATS degrees, almost all of YSU’s associate-level degree programs articulate seamlessly with YSU’s baccalaureate programs. Certificate-level health programs articulate with the respective associate-Certificate-level health programs, and associate-Certificate-level health programs articulate with the BSAS in Allied Health (in addition, a student with a paramedic license can work toward the BSAS in Allied Health without the AAS in Emergency Medical Technology); associate-level business degrees (except the ATS) articulate with baccalaureate business degrees; associate-level computer information and IT programs, with baccalaureate computer programs; the associate-level criminal justice program, with baccalaureate criminal justice programs; associate-level engineering AAS programs (except drafting), with BSAS engineering programs; the AAS dietetic technician program, with the baccalaureate food and nutrition program; the associate-level hospitality management program, with the baccalaureate-level hospitality management program. The humanities and social studies AA degree does not formally articulate with other programs, but many of the hours are applicable to baccalaureate programs in the humanities or social sciences. The associate-level prekindergarten program does not formally articulate, but a number of the hours are applicable to baccalaureate programs in early childhood education or family and consumer studies.

• YSU has many articulation agreements between baccalaureate programs at YSU and two-year programs at community colleges (e.g., with Lorain County Community College) and technical/career centers. See the list of 30 agreements and 13 Tech Prep agreements in section B of this asset-mapping template. Discussion about other agreements (e.g., nursing) with Lorain County Community College is ongoing.

• The same-institution first-to-second-year retention rate for first-time, full-time, associate-degree-seeking students at YSU is regularly above 60%. For fall 2006 to fall 2007 (the most recent year for which figures are available), the rate was 68.8%. By comparison, the state’s 2008 Statistical Profile lists the 2005 same-institution retention rate for the “community college” sector as 53%, and the rate for the “state community college” sector as 55%. Retention rates (both same-institution and at any institution in the state) were considerably lower at most northeast Ohio community colleges and branch campuses.

• YSU won the Educational Policy Institute’s 2007 Retention Award for overall retention and services for at-risk students (YSU’s Center for Student Progress and first-year services were featured in the EPI’s November 2007 Student Success newsletter, available at http://www.educationalpolicy.org/pdf/0711_Student_Success.pdf). According to data in the state’s Performance Reports/Statistical Profiles, YSU’s overall first-to-second-year retention rate is typically the highest or among the highest at open-admissions 4-year institutions in Ohio.

• The Higher Learning Commission recently approved YSU to offer any programs (2-year, 4-year, or above) by asynchronous distance learning without prior

Commission approval. YSU’s BSAS in Allied Health and Master of Health and Human Services were already available asynchronously; other programs will soon be available entirely by asynchronous distance learning, with general education courses available either through YSU or through the Ohio Learning Network.

• Students in YSU’s EMT (and other) health programs have high pass rates on licensure exams (as do students in most of our baccalaureate programs, which aren’t listed on the grid). YSU’s EMT first-time pass rates are regularly among the highest in the state.

• According to the state’s most recent Performance Reports/Statistical Profiles, 88% of YSU’s associate-degree graduates find employment or continue schooling in Ohio—a high percentage given that Youngstown is only a few miles from the Ohio-Pennsylvania border.
