Title:___Revisions to Vocational Education Department degree programs and the establishment of new General Education core for vocational education programs in General Construction,

Course Numbers:__________Various – See attached current 2013-2014 catalog and
_____________2013-2014 Catalog as Revised_________________________________
Credits:___________________ Prerequisites:_________________________________
Statement of Need and Purposes: Vocational Education programs need to be revised to allow for trades students to graduate in a timely manner without the current requirements for English grammar and speech, and extensive Lakota culture or history beyond a minimum Lakota
Language (Lak 103) requirement. The trades programs have extensive content and apprenticeship educational and practicum requirements dictated by the industry and state regulatory bodies, which do not include any English course requirements. Lakota language needs to be included at a minimum level, with further learning at the students’ discretion. Other cultural and historical education may be taken after the coursework and career of the individual are established on an inverted timeline. Students’ primary vocational and economic goals are thus satisfied first, allowing for later learning, as the student sees fit, and not at the direction of the academy.
College Requirements Affected: Policy 70-250- Core Curriculum including AAS Core
Requirements, and Lakota Studies Requirement AAS/Certificate
Anticipated Staffing, Costs and Revenues: No/none
