INTERIM STUDY REPORT
Higher Education Committee

Interim Study 11-093, Rep. Todd Thomsen

Teaching Requirements for higher education faculty

• Oklahoma is one of 29 states accepted to participate in Complete College America.
• The goal of Complete College America is to add an additional 20,400 degrees to the
30,500 in Oklahoma now, which is an increase of 67 percent.
• The system will increase incentives to universities that increase graduation rates.
• Administrators are looking at transfer credits. The process isn’t seamless but most credits
can be transferred from one institution to another.
• Goals include providing access to college, increasing the number of graduates and
making sure students are prepared after they leave college.

• People are purchasing college degrees in record numbers but it isn’t working out very
well for them. More students leave programs than complete them.
• Time is the enemy. It is important to see whether people are growing. For example, often
whether part-time students graduate isn’t tracked.
• Remediation isn’t really successful at all and university presidents are on board to
revamp the remediation system.
• The longer a student is in college, the less likely he or she is to graduate.
• Universities don’t have not enough counselors to help students select careers and courses,
which means students end up in the wrong place causing some to drop out.

• Oklahoma could alter the way remediation courses are instructed and prevent the
remediation of high school graduates by increasing rigor and standards.
• Students should be taught that a high school diploma no longer represents the end of their
education.
• The state needs to increase the number of low-income students who are ready for college
after high school.
• The focus should not be just on access to higher education but also to make sure students
have the support services necessary to complete degree programs.
