The Social Justice certificate is intended for students who wish to explore social justice, social engagement, and enhance their understanding of social inequality and change. It's a flexible certificate that enables students to take a variety of program approved electives with coursework that can be applied towards the Liberal Arts AA degree. Many of the courses are also transferable to four-year degree programs at other institutions. While it has seen a decrease in graduates in the last couple of years, number of students declaring this major in 2022/2023 has more than from 2020/2021. |

Average class fill rate is above the 60% threshold at 72% for 2022/2023.
Likewise the average class retention rate is above the 70% threshold at 88% for 2022/20223.
The C-pass rate for students is above average at 68%.
The number of graduates for 2022/2023 is 6 which is below the 10 mark. This is likely due to decreased enrollment school wide. |

The Absence of assessment processes in this discipline offer a unique opportunity to rethink assessment practices. The coming cycle’s assessment activities will focus on preparation for the transition to the Assessment Academy model in fall 2023. With the help of the Senior Director of Assessment, faculty in these programs will engage in facilitated activities and conversations designed to address faculty understanding and perceptions of the role of assessment in effective teaching and learning. Planned activities, including an Introduction to Assessment workshop and discipline-specific guided conversations, will (re)introduce concepts of informed teaching and prompt faculty to begin considering what they want to know about their teaching, student success, and the curriculum. |
