IN 8.01pr - Approval and Review of College Curriculum, Degrees, and Certificates : ProcedureSUMMARY/SCOPE Procedure for Approval and Review of College Curriculum, Degrees, and Certificates policy. DESCRIPTION Certificates, associate degrees, and secondary awards: Statutory authority for community and technical colleges to offer certificates and degrees can be found in RCW 28B.50.020. The requirements for degrees, certificates, and high school diplomas awarded by the state's community and technical colleges must follow guidelines and approval processes established by the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges (SBCTC). Statewide degrees designed for transfer from a community and technical college to public and most independent universities include the Direct Transfer Agreement (DTA) and the Associate in Science-Transfer (AS-T) Agreement; both degrees have Major Related Programs (MRP) that represent course of study leading to a specific major at a university. Colleges may also enter into a local agreement between the college and at least one university or other baccalaureate-granting institution willing to accept the degree in transfer (see "Professional-Technical Program Approval Process" on the SBCTC Professional-Technical Programs web page "Current Guidelines for DTA Associate Degree" and "Current.") All courses offered and reported on by Washington's community and technical colleges must meet minimum standards as determined by the SBCTC (see RCW 28B.50.090(7)(c) and (e)). The SBCTC shall ensure that each college district shall offer thoroughly comprehensive educational, training, and service programs to meet the needs of both the communities and students served. The SBCTC shall establish minimum standards to govern the requirement for degrees and certificates awarded by the colleges (see RCW 28B.50.090(7)(c)). All professional-technical degree and certificate programs must be approved by the SBCTC prior to course or program implementation (see RCW 28B.50.090(7)(c)). As part of this responsibility, the SBCTC: Sets rules, procedures, and guidelines, developed in cooperation with the college system, that provide for the approval of all proposed new professional-technical programs, curriculum modifications, and program title changes.
