Description River Valley Community College offers credentials including the Associate in Science, Associate in Science with a Concentration, Associate in Arts, and Certificate Programs. In 2017-2018, RVCC offered 18 options for students wishing to pursue an associate degree and 12 options for students wishing to pursue certificates. The RVCC Catalog is dominated by allied health and health science fields, an area that the College is known for. The Catalog also offers credentials in business, computer technology, education, and social services. RVCC offers a General Studies degree for students who would like to combine a certificate program with an associate degree curriculum that is not currently an option through RVCC or who would like to self-design a degree. Lastly, RVCC offers a degree in liberal arts which serves as a transfer pathway to four-year institutions. Two programs at RVCC, Running Start and Bridge2College, serve to encourage early college enrollment for area high school students. Running Start courses are River Valley courses that are offered at local high school and technical centers. These courses utilize certified high school instructors who teach the same content that is offered at RVCC under the guidance and supervision of an RVCC faculty. The Bridge2College program allows local high school students to attend classes at RVCC where they can earn dual college and high school credit. Program Length & Planning All certificates and degrees offered at River Valley Community College lead to a credential in a recognized field of study. The shortest program, phlebotomy, is two semesters in length. Many of the certificate programs require at least three semesters to complete, and all associate degree programs, including the Liberal Arts degree, require two full years; although the time to a Liberal Arts degree can be shortened if a student commits to summer coursework. All curriculum maps are available on the RVCC Website or are located in our College Catalog. All programs at RVCC have published goals which highlight the expected outcomes of the program and expectations for program completers. All programs at RVCC have a coherent curriculum plan that is designed to take students from introductory to advanced knowledge based on course content and sequence. Students may only alter the sequencing of courses in a curriculum with a waiver from the Program Director, and a Program Director may only waive a pre- or co- requisite with sufficient evidence that the student can meet the readiness of the course. Curriculum plans include a series of courses, each with a written, approved course outline. The course outline serves as a static document for the course to ensure that all instructors teaching the course are working towards the same outcomes and includes the following information: a standard course description, specific course learning goals, pre-requisite or co-requisite course requirements, instructional and assessment methods, and the content outline. The course outline can only be changed through a formal process of assessment by the RVCC Curriculum Team. All programs of study are outlined in the College Catalog, and programs also use the Catalog to identify any specific programmatic admissions processes; to define successful 38 | P a g e
progress through the program; and to identify grading policies. All classes have a course syllabus, a separate document from the course outline, which further identifies course and classroom expectations of the individual instructor teaching the course. All program designs must meet the CCSNH Board of Trustees policies for degree requirements as outlined in BoT Academic Policy 620.02. All new programs must be approved through the Curriculum Team, the VPAAs, and the BoT. Budgeting for Programs All programs submit budgets each year to the Business Affairs Officer who is responsible for evaluation of programmatic budgets and fitting them into the college budget each year as described in Standard 7. Program Directors, in consultation with additional faculty in their programs, are responsible for identifying the financial needs of the academic program and for developing a budget that, while fiscally responsible, will also meet the needs of program improvement. Many programs, with the exception of liberal arts, general studies, and biological science, are further financially eligible for Perkins Grant funding under the classifications as outlined by the State of NH Department of Education. Assuring Academic Quality Programmatic Oversight, Implementation, and Review As shown in the organizational structure (p. x), each program has a Program Director who is responsible for oversight of all aspects of the program including faculty, budgets, mode of program offering, and curriculum. All Program Directors are further supported by the Department Chair who provides an additional layer of oversight for the integrity and quality of academic programs. While the direct oversight of the curriculum is the responsibility of the Program Director, any curricular changes that a Program Director wishes to implement must be approved through the process outlined in Figure 4.1. Final approval for programmatic changes is the responsibility of the VPAA. Many programs at RVCC, particularly those in the allied health, health science, and nursing, have additional oversight reporting through their national accreditation agencies. Many programs also have individual advisory boards who assist with oversight of the program and work specifically to ensure that programs are relevant to the community and industry in which graduates will be employed.
