(see http://www20.csueastbay.edu/ecat/general-info/bacc-degree-info.html#transfer-requirements)
Once the student are at CSU East Bay, are additional GE courses required?
• There are additional (non-GE) courses outside the major that may be required of students:– “Code Classes” (Community Colleges offer courses
that may completely satisfy this requirement)– University Writing Skills Requirement cannot be
satisfied from courses at Community Colleges (see http://www.csueastbay.edu/wst), but students may pass a writing test to satisfy the requirement.
– Cultural Groups/Women requirement (usually overlaps with a GE course)

How does your faculty view community college education?
• I believe the view varies by discipline• My personal opinion is that community
colleges, when they teach Statistics, tend to be too focused on the math/arithmetic.
Are our students prepared for the CSU curriculum after attending LMC?
• That probably depends on the discipline. • I cannot say I’ve had any experience with LMC
students in Statistics, either as a major or in my courses.
What could LMC do to ensure our students have greater success at CSU
East Bay? • (My opinion) Ensure students have
experience writing, preferably within their intended majors.

Does our AAT Degree adequately prepare students to be successful in
their major?
What are some of your Senate's concerns as they relates to the AAT
degrees
• Faculty control over curriculum.– Are the CCC courses the same as CSUEB’s?– Cannot require more than 78 upper division
(quarter) units in the major• Alignment of degree program goals/outcomes
What sort of additional partnerships could be created between LMC and
CSU to improve the success of our African American and Latino
Male Students? • CSUEB wants to improve the success of all our
students. President Morishita set an ambitious goal of improving graduation rates across the board
What sort of additional partnerships could be created between LMC and
CSU to improve the success of our African American and Latino
Male Students? • Faculty members have cited low graduation
rates, particularly for African American males, as a call to action.
What sort of additional partnerships could be created…?
• I sit on the Student Retention and Graduation Subcommittee and we have identified the University Writing Skills Requirement as the main hurdle to graduation (hence, my earlier recommendation to include substantial writing)
• Could advising be aligned?
What sort of additional partnerships could be created…?
• Are students, particularly Latino/a, aware of GANAS? http://www20.csueastbay.edu/class/ganas/
