Webinar: How Innovative Programs Can Allow Students Opportunities to Continue Past the AAS

This slide deck, provided by the National Convergence Technology Center (CTC), was part of a special webinar presentation by Ann Beheler of CTC, David Keathly of the University of North Texas (UNT), and Suzanne Ames of Lake Washington Institute of Technology. These slides explain how UNT and Lake Washington work with community college students to further their education past the two-year Associate of Applied Science by way of special technical Bachelor's degrees. This presentation was first delivered at the WASTC Winter ICT Educators conference in San Jose, California.Â

IT Bachelors in Partnership with Community Colleges

This presentation, provided by the National Convergence Technology Center (CTC), was given to attendees of a summer 2022 Working Connections in-person meeting. In the presentation, David Keathly from the University of North Texas (UNT) discusses the origins and format of UNT's Bachelor of Arts in Information Technology (BAIT) program, which allows workforce courses from two-year technical colleges to be transferred into a Bachelor's degree program. The presentation also covers steps for getting community colleges involved in the program. The video recording runs 9:32 minutes in length.Presentation slides are also provided

Easing the Rocky Road to an IT Bachelors Degree - with BAIT and You Webinar Presentation

This slide deck, provided by the National Convergence Technology Center (CTC), was part of a special webinar presentation by David Keathly of the University of North Texas, a member school of the CTC's Convergence College Network (CCN) community of practice. These slides offer a detailed look at the BAIT program, which allows up to 21 hours of workforce classes (classified as "supporting area") to transfer into UNT's bachelors degree. Specifically, the presentation looks at the origins of the BAIT model and hard lessons learned and the basic components and requirements of the BAIT degree pathway. While the initial beta test for expanding the BAIT's reach via online classes is limited to other CCN schools, Keathly's ultimate hope is to use the BAIT as a model for other four-year universities to offer similar transfer opportunities for community colleges and technical schools
