520 $a More than any other single factor, access to community college education depends on proximity. The advent of the community college branch campus has opened higher education to broader segments of the population.
520 $a The purpose of this study was twofold: (1) to discover services that students who attend a branch campus have utilized and are currently utilizing, and (2) to discover services that are perceived as needed by a select group of branch campus students to meet their educational goals. The study examined services in three stages: (1) outreach and intake, (2) entry, and (3) engagement.
520 $a The study took place at a Northwest community college branch campus. The following research questions were investigated through the use of both qualitative and quantitative methods. (1) Of the services offered at the branch campus, which of these services have been and are currently being utilized? (2) What services do students perceive as important in meeting their educational goals?
520 $a Major findings: (1) Clarity about the mission of the branch campus---The central phenomenon was the importance of mission clarification for the branch campus. Once the mission is clarified, strategies for determining appropriate services can be identified. (2) Aligning services to meet the needs of branch campus students---When asked what services need to be provided for students to meet their educational goals, students overwhelmingly wanted more academic classes offered at the branch campus. (3) Intentional student engagement activities must be developed---Actively engaged students are more likely to meet their educational goals. Due to the limited amount of time students reported spending at the branch campus, engagement must be intentional on the part of faculty and staff. (4) A pathway of courses for degree completion needs to be developed---The majority of the students in this study were focused on completing an Associate degree. A clear pathway of courses for completion of a degree would be beneficial for students.
520 $a The central phenomenon that emerged from this study was the need for a clear definition of the branch campus mission. Without that determination, the services necessary to meet students' educational goals cannot be adequately developed.
