Abstract

Changes in the economy and decreases in enrollment have changed the landscape of higher education and caused a shift in the demographics of the students who are currently enrolled. Colleges are no longer recruiting or enrolling the traditional student; instead, it is nontraditional and underrepresented students who are seeking new skills that degrees or certificates can provide. Stackable degrees can provide a solution or alternative to assist colleges and students within this changing landscape. Stackable degrees are credentials that recognize achievement on a smaller scale. These degrees provide students and universities a win-win opportunity by increasing program enrollment and credentials awarded to students. This article will explore one university’s approach to offering stackable credentials. Researchers conducted a meta-analysis comparison study of stackable programs and traditional programs available. Results showed that buildable programs had a significant impact on enrollment for nontraditional students as well as the number of credentials awarded.

可堆叠程序:为非传统和代表性不足的学生引领成功之路
经济的变化和入学人数的减少改变了高等教育的格局,并导致了目前入学学生的人口结构的变化。大学不再招收传统的学生;相反,寻求学位或证书所能提供的新技能的是非传统和代表性不足的学生。可堆叠学位可以为大学和学生在这种不断变化的环境中提供解决方案或替代方案。可堆叠学位是在较小范围内认可成就的证书。这些学位为学生和大学提供了一个双赢的机会,增加了课程的入学率和授予学生的证书。本文将探讨一所大学提供可堆叠证书的方法。研究人员对可堆叠程序和传统程序进行了荟萃分析比较研究。结果表明,可构建的课程对非传统学生的入学人数以及颁发的证书数量有显著影响。
