Easing the Rocky Road to an IT Bachelors Degree - with BAIT and You Webinar Presentation

This slide deck, provided by the National Convergence Technology Center (CTC), was part of a special webinar presentation by David Keathly of the University of North Texas, a member school of the CTC's Convergence College Network (CCN) community of practice. These slides offer a detailed look at the BAIT program, which allows up to 21 hours of workforce classes (classified as "supporting area") to transfer into UNT's bachelors degree. Specifically, the presentation looks at the origins of the BAIT model and hard lessons learned and the basic components and requirements of the BAIT degree pathway. While the initial beta test for expanding the BAIT's reach via online classes is limited to other CCN schools, Keathly's ultimate hope is to use the BAIT as a model for other four-year universities to offer similar transfer opportunities for community colleges and technical schools.
