Forces of Change• Student & parent mandate
– Vocationalization of higher education
• External mandates on our department– Productivity Efficiency Accountability
• Internal Department mandate:– Equity: distribute courses
among faculty, share of productivity

Forces of Constancy/Homeostasis
• Traditions of higher education
• Traditions of classical geology training
• Traditions of teacher preparation

BS Mandates
• SSHE directives– Increase # of majors
• recruit, retain, graduate
– Increase productivity
• larger class size
– Assessment standards
• PA Professional Geologists
Certification
• ASBOG & PA-BOG
– 120 credit maximum
BSEd Mandates• SSHE directives

Professional Geologist Certification for Pennsylvania• Education: Major in Geology or related discipline w/ 30+ semester
hours in discipline
• Experience: 5 years professional geology work, less a yr for each grad. degree
• Examinations: ASBOG tests– Fundamentals of Geology (FG) Examination: test of knowledge &
skills acquired in an academic setting that leads to a baccalaureate degree
– Practice of Geology (PG) Examination: test to assess skills & knowledge acquired or expanded through employment, typically after 5 years of experience

Increasing the # of Majors• Recruit:
– open houses – feeder schools and community colleges– grants to new students
• Retain– Core curriculum that develops a “community of learners”– An active department club– Field experiences – Research/internship experiences– Flexible curriculum gives students choices, encourages
transfers – Grants to assist students with financial woes

Alumni Communication
• BSEd alumni: Teachers– return for continuing education credits /MA program– cooperating teachers for WCU student teachers
• BS alumni: professional/gov’t geologists– return for continuing education – supervise interns from WCU in their offices
