| TX | Adopted 11/2009 | Community College
Postsec. | Permits automatic higher education coordinating board approval of new academic and career technical/workforce associate degree programs, provided certain criteria are met, including that the institution can certify that, among other indicators:
(1) The program has institutional and governing board approval
(2) The institution has researched and documented current job market need for the program and/or that the program would lead to opportunities for further education
(3) There is recent evidence of both short-term and long-term student demand for the program
(4) Enrollment projections reflect student demand estimates to ensure the financial self-sufficiency of the program
(5) New costs during the first five years of the program would not exceed $2 million.
Also permits automatic approval of revisions of existing associate degree or certificate programs provided that certain conditions are met. Adopted as proposed in the August 7, 2009 issue of the Texas Register (pages 47-49 of 100): http://www.sos.state.tx.us/texreg/pdf/backview/0807/0807prop.pdf

| TX | Adopted 11/2009 | Community College
Postsec. | Adds definitions for the following terms pertaining to higher education coordinating board approval of new academic and career technical/workforce associate degree and certificate programs: "academic degree"; "applied associate degree"; "career technical/workforce program" and "statewide articulated transfer curriculum". Defines the "statewide articulated transfer curriculum" as a set of courses that will satisfy the lower-division requirements of a four-year degree in a specific discipline. Requires a statewide articulated transfer curriculum to:
(A) Have the same rigor and content as the equivalent course work in the baccalaureate program offered at a general academic teaching institution
(B) Minimize the time and course work required to complete a baccalaureate degree
(C) Be consistent with the common course numbering system approved by the board and the recommendations and rules of the board
(D) Include only course work directly applicable to the requirements of the baccalaureate degree program(s) with which it is associated.
According to the higher education coordinating board's assistant commissioner for academic affairs and research, as cited in the August 7, 2009 Texas Register, the "establishment of conditions under which the approval of new academic and career technical/workforce associate degree programs, as well as approval of revision of existing academic and career technical/workforce associate degree programs is automatic, would permit public two-year colleges and the five public universities that are authorized to grant the associate degree to implement new degree programs much more quickly than is possible under the provisions of the current version of Chapter 9.

Postsec. | Amends rules related to associate degree programs. Amendment to Section 9.181 clarifies that rules apply not only to public community colleges, but also Texas State Technical College-Harlingen, and the Lamar State Colleges. Amendment to Section 9.183 adds language to stipulate that each academic associate degree must provide a clearly-articulated curriculum that can be associated with a discipline or field of study leading to a baccalaureate degree, and must be identified as such in the institution's program inventory.
