Chipola Named a State College In June 2008, Chipola officially became a State College in Florida. The new Florida College System consists of community colleges where 2-year and 4-year academic degrees are granted. This means more students in the college district will be able to access Baccalaureate degrees in academic areas where the demand for educated workers is exceeding the supply. Chipola’s programs are more affordable and cost-effective than those at the state university level—and that’s another benefit to both taxpayers and students. Chipola now offers ten Bachelor of Science degrees in teacher education, nursing and business administration. Ten Bachelor’s Degrees Offered at Chipola College Teacher Education • Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education (grades K-5) • Bachelor of Science in Exceptional Student Education (grades K-12) • Bachelor of Science in English Education (grades 6-12) • Bachelor of Science in Middle School Mathematics Education (grades 5-9) • Bachelor of Science in Mathematics Education (grades 6-12) • Bachelor of Science in Middle School Science Education (grades 5-9) • Bachelor of Science in Biology Education (grades 6-12) Chipola has established a Teacher Education Program to offer Bachelor of Science Education degrees. These degrees train middle and high school teachers to address the critical shortage of qualified teachers in math, science, and English. The Florida State Board of Education also approved three additional Bachelor of Science degrees: Elementary Education, Exceptional Student Education, and English Education. Bachelor of Science in Nursing (RN to BSN) The RN to BSN degree program began in Fall 2008. Applicants for the BS in Nursing must have earned the AA degree and AS degree in Nursing, be licensed Registered Nurses, and have completed all required prerequisite courses. Chipola College Catalog

Documented Performance of Chipola and Its Students Five Chipola scholars were awarded the prestigious Guistwhite Scholarship in the last four years. Only 20 are awarded worldwide annually. Chipola’s advising program was a finalist for the League for Innovation’s Terry O’Banion “Shared Journey” Award. Graduates of Chipola’s Teacher Education Program are certified and placed in jobs at a rate of 90-100%. Graduates of Chipola’s nursing and corrections programs are employed and placed in jobs at a rate of 90-95%. Chipola is respected among post secondary institutions in Florida because of the success of its students. Shown below are highlights of success on a variety of indicators. Similar results have been achieved by Chipola each year since the identification of the college’s success factors and expected outcomes. · Florida Bright Futures Scholars: State reports have ranked Chipola first in the percent of Florida’s Bright Futures Scholarship recipients. During a recent year, over 19% of the total degree-seeking student population were on these prestigious scholarships; 43% of entering freshmen were Bright Futures Scholars. Many of these students will transfer to professional schools in medicine, law, pharmacy, engineering, and business, but the fact that so many of these scholars receive their general education at Chipola speaks well for the college’s reputation for high standards and quality instruction. · Outstanding Instruction at All Levels: There are many other indicators of instructional quality. State accountability reports consistently rank Chipola among the top colleges in Florida on reports of GPAs among transfers to state universities. Licensure passing rates and job placement rates are consistently above 80%. Among the underprepared students who are placed in collegeprep/remedial courses on entry, Chipola has unprecedented success. According to the state’s accountability report, 82% of the students who take college prep/remedial reading go on to pass their required college-level reading course, compared to the statewide rate of only 63.4%. The grade point average of Chipola’s AA graduates who transferred three years ago to the State University System (all universities/all students) was 3.04, compared to the state average of only 2.92. · CAAP Performance: Chipola’s graduating sophomores consistently exceed the national mean for public two-year college sophomores on every test and subtest of the Collegiate Assessment of Academic Proficiency Exam (CAAP). This includes a recent Critical Thinking score of 61.7, compared to the national average of 60.5. · Chipola Honors Program: The Chipola Honors Program is a member of the National Collegiate Honors Council. The Honors Program at Chipola offers weekly seminars for the brightest and best students. Teachers of honors classes guide students through research projects, beyond the regular course requirements. Honors students often serve as tutors in the Academic Center for Excellence (ACE). Nationally Recognized Scholars Phi Theta Kappa and Phi Beta Lambda Chapters Chipola’s students and academic organizations have earned state and national recognition, including Christiana Prichard, a former student named the number one college student among all students in Florida’s colleges and universities according to Florida Leader Magazine. Prichard was selected from hundreds of nominees from public and private colleges and universities in Florida. In 2011, two more students were honored. Caitlyn Pritchard was named First Team All-USA Academic Team and a Guistwhite Scholar and MaryBeth Alderman was named to the All-USA Academic Team and the Coca Cola Academic Scholars All-American Academic Gold Team. Campus organizations such as Phi Theta Kappa, Brain Bowl, Mu Alpha Theta, and Phi Beta Lambda reflect Chipola College’s commitment to academic growth among students both inside and outside the classroom. The college nurtures and guides the students in these organizations, expanding their educational opportunities into regional and national arenas. Student members are Chipola College Catalog
