College leaders also announced new program development, including a bachelor of science degree in nursing and a general studies bachelor’s degree.
The Academic Master Plan is designed for a more traditional student population that is seeking four-year degrees.
"It's always a work in progress, but overall, it's very dynamic plan," said Sandra Stone, the vice president for academic affairs who presented the plan today.

"It's a four-year plan that includes an ongoing assessment of all the programs," she said.
