The focus of this planning effort is not only the assessment of STEM offerings,but also, the development of a strategic plan specific to the STEM courses. It willinclude the examination of expansions needed to maximize student opportunity andincrease success in current bottleneck courses. Further, the college needs to identifyadditional course offerings and physical and human resource necessary to add to those.The long term impact of this project is expected to provide significant increases inthree areas: course completions in the STEM courses; graduations; and transfers to fouryear schools.The college's major focus will be on the development of a strategic plan whichemphasizes the inclusion of the Dakota culture. Further, the college has historicallydeveloped programs which are responsive to the needs of students. This prior experiencewill be applied to the STEM effort with additional materials included from reviews ofother Tribal college STEM programs.
