| Statewide Update: | The transfer of community colleges to Universities in 2017-2018 have gone down. 2017-2018 had 600 students less than in 2016-2017. This was noted in part to do with economic stress.
In terms of Sociology majors, out of the 3,034 students that graduated with SOC degrees, 873 came from community colleges. |
| University Curricular updates: | The professors did not state there respectable universities in the meeting but a couple noted that SOC enrollment is down and students seem to be more interested in majoring in Psychology than
Sociology. |
| Community college Curricular Updates: | PIMA is building their pathways which is a big undertaking. They lost 2 out of 3 full-time sociology faculty.
Maricopa's pathways is done but need approval next month. |
| Suggested changes to matricies: | None, "Mohave" prefix is fine. Mohave's courses are relevant and has not changed the social science behavior degree.
Mohave's SOC courses align with the universities and are transferring well. |
| Volunteering: | No, Dr. Sharon Yee from Maracopa CC will host in 2019. |
| Additional Comments: | The AZ transfer summit is being held on April 4 & 5, 2019
A couple participants complained about "concurrent enrollment" at their institutions. |
