  16. POLICY IMPLICATIONS • Every program for both community college and university degrees should have some kind of degree map. • Provide strong encouragement and support to help students select an “area of interest” upon entering but no later than the middle of the second year. • Improvement takes time; measure success and don’t change funding models every year.
