SUNY Trustees Approve Two Bachelor's Programs
in Aerospace for SUNY Farmingdale
Upper division bachelor of science programs in
aeronautical science/professional pilot and aviation ad-ministration
for the State College of Technology at
Farmingdale were approved by the SUNY Board of Trus-tees
at their meeting on Wednesday, February 28. If next
approved by the Regents of New York State, Farmingdale
will be the first public institution in the state to offer these
programs.
The aeronautical science/professional pilot de-gree
is designed to prepare the student for aircrew positions
in the aviation industry; the aviation administration degree
will prepare graduates for entry level management posi-tions
throughout the three major segments of the aerospace
industry: manufacturing, airlines and general aviation.
"With the recent attention given to the numerous
opportunities in the aerospace industry, the passing of this
resolution comes at a very appropriate time," said SUNY
Farmingdale President Frank A. Cipriani. "The passing of
this resolution can be attributed to all the hard work that has
been invested in our existing baccalaureate programs; the
associate degree programs whose strength command seri-ous
consideration of upper divisional activity; the perform-ance
of our associate degree and baccalaureate degree
graduates; and the work of the professional staff that made
it possible for me to make a compelling case for degree
approval. I am truly convinced of the need for programs
such as these, both locally and nationally. They are cenu-al
to our college mission and are founded on an exceptionally
strong lower division foundation."
New Disclosure Law In Effect
A Consumer Disclosure law that requires col-leges
to provide students entering undergraduate, non-baccalaureate
degree programs, that prepare them for a
particular vocation, trade or career field, with statistics and
information regarding the recent graduates of their se-lected
curriculum, went into effect December 1, 1989.
SUNY Farmingdale has implemented the new law, incor-porating
it into its comprehensive admissions and record
keeping processes.
The U.S. Department of Education legislation
states that all colleges that publicly make claims about the
job placement experiences or starting salaries of certain
graduates as a means of attracting students to enroll, must
provide the latest employment and transfer information of
graduates of career and licensing programs to new students
before they enroll.
The coordination of the new law was handled by
Paula Shaer, the Dean of Enrollment Management.
"This important new law will highlight the accu-racy
of our transfer and employment information as com-piled
by our Career Development and Placement Office,"
said Dean Shaer. "Compliance will require a coordinated
campus response. Faculty are encouraged to share any
information they have with the Career Development and
Placement Office."
The college will eventually be audited in regard to
the legislation, with the ultimate penally for non-compli-ance
being a reduction in federal financial aid available to
students.
