At CBC, we offer 33 majors and 27 minors which includes hundreds of classes. However, there are additional majors, minors and classes that students wish CBC would offer. Although students understand that there is a long process to create these things and a lot more professors would be needed, I thought I would share a few of the wishes of myself as well as a few of my fellow students.
- A graphic design class and major
- An education minor
- A speech pathology class or major
- Art classes
- Chemistry major
- More professors for all majors
- Spanish major and minor
- More upper division biology classes
- A basic videography class
- More real-world experience and education overall to prepare students for their future careers such as realistic skills and knowledge that they will use in the future rather than assignments that don’t teach them anything they need to know
These are just a few things that myself and other students wish that CBC could add.
I emailed Claire Tucker, the new vice president of academic affairs, to learn about how students can voice their own opinions on potential new classes or majors.
“If a student is interested in suggesting a new major or course, the first step would be to email their proposal or idea directly to me at ctucker@cbc.edu,” Tucker said in an email. “From there, I would review the suggestion and potentially bring it forward for discussion with faculty and the academic leadership team. While adding a new major or course involves a thorough process—including curriculum development, faculty input, and approval through our academic committees—student ideas are an important part of shaping our academic offerings.”
I know CBC is a smaller private campus and has limited resources. However, if it was possible to add these things, I believe it would greatly improve the school.
