- Report of the Institutional Self-Study. College Faculty Community Colleges Competency Based Education Delivery Systems Educational Finance Experiential Learning Governance Institutional Research Noncampus Colleges Nontraditional Education Self Evaluation Student Attitudes Student Characteristics Student Personnel Services Teacher Characteristics Two Year Colleges This document is an institutional self-study prepared by the Community College of Vermont, a statewide noncampus institution which operates within local communities, providing educational opportunities to all Vermonters regardless of age, finances, geographic location, or previous educational experience. The college operates wholly out of community facilities. Its faculty are community members serving part time. Curriculum design begins with the student: through consultation with local site staff, students draw up "contracts" setting goals and identifying appropriate competencies. Contracts are evaluated through local Review Committees, and degrees are awarded based on skills and knowledge accumulated (including those gained from past work and life experience) rather than on courses taken. Included in this report are sections on the college's past, present and future; students; educational philosophy and learning delivery processes, including contracting and review and assessment of experiential learning; library, physical, and faculty resources; organization and control of the college; finances; and internal and external research and evaluation studies conducted by the college and other agencies.
