B‐Goals


CREDIT/GENERAL STUDIES Develop hybrid degree completion BGS program to increase graduations rates

Credit: Conducted focus groups to get student feedback regarding interest in degree completion hybrid program and other services.

Feedback from 2 focus groups with 8 individuals per group stated that:

IPFW offers a prestigious degree (IU or Purdue) that is cost effective and close to home.

They stopped attending classes for their bachelor’s because financial, time, job, and life constraints got in the way.

The economy is currently driving their decisions.

Given the choice, they would like to finish a bachelor’s degree.

They prefer a greater variety of choices and sections of courses.

Weekend classes would be an option for many of them, especially if the classes met from 8‐12:00 and were offered in a hybrid format.

General Studies becomes a much more attractive option if it is paired with a minor or certificate.

On average, they would be willing to dedicate 1.5 years to finish their degree.

Online courses are appealing because of the flexibility they provide. However, classroom learning appears to be the choice for their learning styles. Participants did like the idea of hybrid delivery method to blend the best of both formats.

B‐Goals
