BC3 Strategic Initiatives

Enrollment Management

The College will create an approach that includes both student recruitment and retention. Student recruitment will include such issues as geography, demographic trends, and program-specific needs. Student retention will investigate ways of reducing attrition and obtaining better data as to why students exit college programs. In addition, inquiries as to how current students influence future recruits, the feasibility of student housing, recruiting for specific academic and noncredit programs, and other issues will be investigated.

Expansion

The College will investigate geographic expansion beyond Butler County. In considering the feasibility of such expansion, the College must respond to the following: how far do we expand; how is it funded; who accomplishes it; how does expansion impact our infrastructure; and, in what time frame?

Assessment

The College will improve the coordination of data gathering and distribution of credible information. Evidence will support decision making in academic assessment, program development, enrollment management, integrated marketing, budget considerations, facility management and other College decisions.

Equipment And Facilities Master Plan

The College will prioritize, plan for replacement, update or modernize, and fund the equipment necessary to meet its mission and goals. The facilities master plan will continue to be reviewed and developed for the main campus and all the sites with which BC3 is involved.
