Supplemental Updates for Columbus State University - 2024

As part of our ASPIRE Top Five Strategies, Dalton State College is working with Georgia Highlands College (GHC) and Georgia Northwestern Technical College (GNTC) to create pathways for GNTC graduates to receive degrees at DSC and GHC using courses completed at GNTC. These pathways indicate the degrees students can earn and the courses they will complete at GNTC to obtain those degrees. They also show to which DSC or GHC programs the students can transfer their GNTC courses.

Strengths with respect to student success

For 2022-23, we identified three student success activities in which we were striving to excel:

  • structuring at least 3 HIPS into each baccalaureate program,
  • encouraging a growth Mindset in students, and
  • enhancing the co-curricular experience.

Of these, we are having the greatest success and making the most progress with the last one, enhancing the co-curricular experience, which encompasses a variety of activities:

Encouraging a growth Mindset in students (Columbus State University-2023)

Academic Mindsets are the attitudes or beliefs one has about oneself

in relation to coursework. The four academic Mindsets involve the sense that students belong to an academic community, the sense that (with effort) their ability and competence can grow, the sense that they can succeed, and the sense that the academic work has value to them. In short, the four academic Mindsets involve the sense of belonging, improving, succeeding, and adding value. This initiative is to promote and encourage growth Mindsets in students and in faculty.
