Problem / Issue
CCCApply Steering Committee is being asked to take our Ed Goal > Majors alignment implementation one step further and incorporate further branching by meta major.
Steering will review this request during the November 4, 2016 meeting but anticipate it will be approved for future development. Planting the seed now so that Wes can consider the effort to implement this level of branching as we develop the Majors module in 2.0.
NOTE: Patty will gather more details and clarification on 'meta majors' and what is meant by 'tiered question'.
Request
<<I am being asked if a Meta Major can be added as a filer to the CCCApply Application for the major/program area. We are wanting a tiered question, first question shows Meta major and then the next question would display the majors in the Meta major that was selected.>>
<<To piggy back onto this topic, any ability to better organize the majors list would be nice. We have close to 200 majors now, with certificates, aa, as, and all the duplicate transfer specific degrees (UC and CSU).
I have also been approached several times by my Dean of Admissions and Records about meta majors, but responded that it is an issue that has not yet reached the steering committee (to my knowledge). Apparently, there is quite a bit of discussion on the topic of meta majors at the college level.>>
Proposed Solution
If Steering approves this request, the Administrator 2.0 development team will investigate the level of effort to do this work in the first version of the new tool.
