Course Report
One of the degree requirements, CE100, has been nearly impossible to obtain due to COVID restrictions. This caused us to rethink the value and accessibility to our students and we decided to remove it as a degree requirement.
One of the electives has been deactivated, AJ 140, and needed to be removed from the options. Four additional electives are added to improve degree flexibility and access.

Palomar College submitted the appropriate LMI from the COE. The COE recommends proceeding with developing a program or a program modification because 1) the occupations’ entry-level and median earnings are above the living wage and 2) a supply gap exists.
