This submission covers the program review of the Business Division Unit and 5-degree
programs (Accounting, Business, Computer Application and Office Technology, Computer
Information Systems and Real Estate). A review of 8-Certificate Programs and 22-Skills
programs will be included in future submissions/updates.
.
Mission Statement
The mission of the Business Division is to raise the student's awareness of business in a
social and cultural diverse environment and foster student growth and learning. This awareness
fulfills the education requirements of Accounting, Business, Computer Application Office
Technology, Computer Information Science and Real Estate. It equips students with the
business knowledge and environment competencies to advance in the workplace and/or
transfer to a higher institute of learning.
Student Learning Outcomes
The reasons students choose to attend Los Angeles Harbor College are indicated by
the student survey, graduation and transfer requirements. The Business Division formulated the
following student learning outcomes (SLOs) for students who complete a Business Division
course. There is varying degree to which each SLO applies to their particular course/
concentrations. Upon completing a course of study in the Business Division the student will be
able to:
1. Develop insight and understand the Accounting, Business, Computer Office
Technology, Computer Information Science and Real Estate environment.
2. Acquire component skills provided to facilitate entry and/or advancement in the
business and office environment .
3. Apply and practice skills provided in classes by each Business Division program
4. Demonstrate knowledge and competency in Business Division Skills via testing.

Documentation Review
Unit plans: For the purpose of this submission, 5-Business Division Degree programs will be
reviewed. In the following submission will be the 8 certificate course, then later 22 skills
courses. Unit plans are updated annually by the division chair, faculty members. The current
division unit plan for 2005/06 is included in Business Division Unit and Program Review pg. 1824. The Business division has chosen a format indicating college strategies, division priorities,
objectives, activities, and resource needs (costs are estimates). The faculty in each program
degree indicate their individual priorities. These components are reviewed annually and reflect
current priorities, as well a student demand. However due to budget constraints, adjustments
are made in the hope that positive student learning outcomes are not affected. The Business
Division objectives are aligned with SLO’s, college wide planning, student needs and college
objectives and activities. This in turn fosters a drive for continuing improvement to put “Students
First” ahead of all other activities.
Personnel: This year, progress notes in several areas Accounting, Business, CAOT, CIS, Real
Estate. Unfortunately, there have been no gains in faculty despite several faculty retirements in
the past few years. The Business Division badly needs the additional fulltime instructors for
CAOT, Accounting and Real Estate/Business. On the other hand, it is anticipated that the
division will gain part-time clerical assistance in Spring 2006 or Fall 2006. The requirements for
personnel resources have been an on-going. Formal requests have been forwarded to
administration. At his time budgetary constraints have made these resource request
unanswered.
Course outline updates: During Spring-Summer 2005, all courses were checked for currency.
New course outlines were provided to the Curriculum Committee for inclusion on the college
website. Many updates to courses used a new district form that has been incompatible with
some software and operating systems. This migration of information to a different format caused
problems and has slowed conversion to the new district form for all courses. Due to budgetary
problems, the lack of clerical help aggravated the situation. Nevertheless, it is anticipated that
future updating processes will be on an ongoing basis. Updating should take a faster pace as
we get use to using online resources. We are hopeful that long awaited clerical requirements
issues will be addressed by the administration.
Sample syllabi with identified student learning outcomes are included in this document. All
instructors have been offered training and assistance in developing syllabi using SLOs.
Updating is a priority and on-going.
Course descriptions for Business Division classes in the current course schedule and 20042006 College Catalog are accurate and valid. The division chair reviews all publications at each
printing. Changes are noted by faculty and update forwarded to the division chair for future
printing.

Data Evaluation
Efficiency data is provided by the College Research Office. Enrollment trends over the
past six years reflect a growing interest in business and increasing retention and successful
completion rates. The division maintains a high weekly student contact hour to full-time
equivalent faculty ratio. WSCH/FTEF ratios in the college reflects both the popularity of the
programs and the dedication of the faculty. Nevertheless, as the full-time equivalent faculty
declines and the full-time faculty numbers decrease, it remains to be seen whether the success
rates of the students and high WSCH/FTEF can be maintained or improved. Division basic data
as well as a breakdown of the five largest disciplines of Accounting , Business, Computer
Administration Office Technology, Computer Information Science and Real Estate are provided
to see trends. Due to economic shifts and technology transfer overseas, it is a constant
challenge to keep enrollment at acceptable levels.
Over the six-year period of 1999 through 2004, Business Division has continued to
increase enrollment in all five main programs, as well as the overall Division. Data shows the
increasing rates of retention and successful completion over that time as well. Business and
Technology is a viable, growing, program that meets the needs of nearly2,000 enrollments a
semester. Late start classes were instituted to assist students who might benefit. Additionally,
online courses will commence in Spring 2006. The division offered several short-term classes in
Winter and Summer. The impact of these offerings in annual enrollments, retention, and other
measures has not been fully evaluated. The quantitative impact must also be adapted by the
services provided to students and the reputation of Harbor where “Students Come First.”
Enrollment in Business Division courses remains strong, showing increasing trends in
enrollment, retention and successful completion
The focus of other data available has centered on the interaction of class schedules and
enrollment. Several new ideas in scheduling we tried based on requests and ideas from
administrators. Local high school outreach courses have continued, even though these are not
usually the highest enrollment classes. As an outreach service to the community, it is hoped that
good experiences on the high school campuses will encourage those students to come to LA
Harbor College for future courses. The majority go to LA Harbor come because it convenient .
They attend due to schedule. They love to enroll close to home. Our respondents consider it a
local school. Surprisingly, most answered that friends attending the school was never an issue.
The respondents are ambitious with their sights on an advanced degree in mind. They are
Hardworking as evidence of most working par time. School related issues are not a problem,
family situation is. We need to nurture these students. Continually recruit from our feeder
schools and advertise locally. Emphasis not only on recruiting but retaining also.
Some Late start classes were added to assist students who might benefit. On-line
courses will continue in Spring 2006. The division offered several short-term classes in Winter
and Summer. The effect of these offerings in annual enrollments, retention, and other measures
has not been fully evaluated. The quantitative impact must also be tempered by the services
provided to students and the reputation of Harbor where enrollment in Business Division
courses remains strong, showing increasing trends in enrollment, retention and successful
completion. (More detail to follow as faculty provide updates on next submission).

Student participation
Campus wide 2005 Survey Results by Division and College Total
(Our customer and what do they think - Student participation)
A college wide “Spring 2005 Student Survey” (district provided) was conducted at the
beginning of the fall semester. To get a better understanding of students that attended a
Business Division class, we intentionally focused only on the survey responses that were given
in a Business Division. 180 surveys were sent out to 4–Business Division sections, made up of
course # 0893 and #0905. Of the 180 sent only 33 were returned. The following are the their
responses.
Extrapolated Data
Educational Goals
Q1The most popular reason why students attended LA Harbor College was because of the
class scheduled(15 )followed by the availability of College /District Web page (9) as very
important. Newspaper and Television, newspaper, radio and TV ads (1) being the least
important
Q2 Enrollment at LA Harbor: Cost (21), Close to Home (19) as very important
Have friends here (0) as least important
Q3 The highest degree or certificate that the respondents would like to achieve Master’s
degree(7), Professional Degree(6) being most frequent answer. Not seeking a degree (0)
Q4 A majority responded that student working fulltime/partime (13)
Q5. The majority of the respondents considered all school related issues as not a problem in
attending college, however (8) respondents said that family responsibilities were a moderate
problem.
Student Background and Financial Resources
Q6-Q16 This review will not evaluate data on background and financial resources. The
demographic profile will not be utilized as part of the program review.
14
.
College Attendance
The 1.5hour class Q17(17) and 15 Week Semesters Q18(15) were best liked by the
respondents. A clear majority of Q19(23) wanted to come to school between 9AM-2Noon. Least
preferred were afternoons and late evenings, Friday(9),Saturday(9) and Sunday(9).
Respondents still preferred to come to school Q20 (10)2 days a week as best choice and (11)

respondents. To staff being helpful Q23 , disagree had a majority. The most prominent being
bookstore (15) where respondents marked disagree to being helpful.
Educational Programs
More attention and resources need to be applied to improving educational programs. A third
(11 of 33) or more of all the responses indicated that they disagreed with the every question
Q28-Q53 that dealt with adequacy of resources for educational programs. The following items
stood out that students disagreed: faculty support Q24 (12), instructors give advice give advice

then for classroom attendance. Rarely/never or no experience has been the answers to
activities that involve outside classroom activities: studying Q54(10), sports/theater Q55(11),
student government Q56(6), meet with instructors Q57(9), use library-tutoring center
Q58(11).Outside of classroom attendance, many students spend very little time in campus from
3hours less-none at all Q59(7-7).

Findings - Recommendations
Educational Goals
The majority go to LA Harbor come because it convenient . They attend due to schedule.
They love to enroll close to home. Our respondents consider it a local school. Surprinsingly,
most answered that friends attending the school was never an issue. The respondents are
ambitious with their sights on an advanced degree in mind. They are hardworking as evidence of
most working part time. School related issues are not a problem, family situation is. We need to
nurture these students. Continually recruit from our feeder schools and advertise locally.
Emphasis not only on recruiting but retaining also.
College Attendance
Our students prefers 1.5hrs classes between 9-12am, 2days a week. No evening classes and
weekends. More classes in the same time schedule are needed. To accommodate this , more
classrooms are needed and increase of full-time teachers who can focus on the mid day time
activity. Part-time teachers tend to concentrate more on the early and late classes due to
availability outside of their regular work.
College Services
Most are not satisfied from the services that they received at school. Most outstanding was the
unavailability of the records department, financial aid and bookstore. As a solution longer hours
or staggering schedules need to be implemented.
Educational Programs
Inadequate resources in all levels that support educational programs: faculty support, instructor
advise, instructors up to date on their field, library , books and magazines being up-to-date and
maintained. Because of slow decline in numbers of fulltime faculty , time and availability outside
the classroom is also limited. Obviously personnel and additional funding are needed to hire
fulltime faculty to be on campus during work hours..
Campus Involvement
Respondents spend the least time(3hrs or less) in campus when not in the classroom. Not
interested in Art, athletics, music program., meeting with instructors and student government.
May review on our extra curricular programs need to be examined. A total utilization study
needs to be done on how much programs mentioned above are really utilized by the majority of
the students. As a comparison , the business model of for profit- educational institutions
concentrates less on extra-curricular activities.
Gains in Skills and knowledge
Respondents are unclear on direction, goals. Age may have something more to do than
anything. However, they admit having gained more subject related skills as in computers, math,
ethical standards, cultures. Overall our emphasis need s to be refocused on academics skills and
knowledge. We are succeeding on this aspect.
Campus Facilities and Services
LA harbor is perceived as providing inadequate facilities, building , parking lot, bathrooms, total
facilities need upgrading or better maintenance. It is an old campus and the continuing upgrades
16
.
of the facilities should see an improvement of this. However, the biggest concerns should be on
security and safety even as we go through the campus improvements. With in the campus, there
should be more visibility of security personnel. Emphasis on maintenance to continue, and
classroom-bathroom cleanliness to be improved.
Additional Notes
Most of these data will be use in conjunction with other information to formulate
proposals and scheduling changes. There were no questions specific to Business Division.
However, a more focused survey will be formulated for Business Division on a later date to
review Student Learning Outcomes which relate to the Business Division mission. Several of
these questions in the future survey , will relate directly to the Business Division mission and
student learning outcomes. The survey results will provide a comparison of the total student
body sampling with Business Division survey-respondents This is a pilot program in which the
survey forms will be adjusted if needed and in which a larger numbers of students will hopefully
participate and be a better representation of the Business Division student population.
Some of the preliminary data from the campuswide survey are also displayed here with
those students completing the survey questions in Business Division classrooms. This data was
compiled to add information for scheduling. Data from the campuswide survey. Data will be
evaluated in the coming unit plan review to allow comparison with current surveys.
