Course Report
This program is intended for transfer and aligns with professional and non-professional established degree programs taught at both CSU and UC institutions.
At Santa Rosa Junior College, faculty members with discipline expertise develop all certificates and majors. For AA-T and AS-T degrees, faculty members with appropriate expertise determine which courses align with the C-ID descriptors. The Supervising Administrator(s) then review the application to assure that it aligns with Chancellor’s Office criteria for approval and SRJC guidelines for financial feasibility and community need. The Majors & Certificate Review Committee reviews the application and suggests any changes to assure that all guidelines have been observed. The item is then placed on the Curriculum Review Committee agenda for approval, and when approved, is submitted for approval by the Board of Trustees.

Bay Area Regional Questions
CTE & Transfer
SRJC does not currently have any similar programs in place.
College of Marin was contacted: Pete Levelle (SRJC program coordinator) emailed Lauren Servais (Dean of Arts & Humanities at College of Marin) on 10.7.24, explaining that SRJC is reestablishing a revised Architecture AS (program plan was attached). This program historically co-existed with College of Marin's. Lauren responded same day that she would review and reach back out any questions. No questions were received (email documentation available if needed).
Mendocino College and Napa Valley College do not have a similar program.
