Title III (2012)
In October 2012 Bay Path University was one of a small number of higher education institutions to receive funding from the federal government as part of its Title III: Strengthening Institutions Grant initiative. Overall we received $1.9 million to accomplish our grant objectives over a five-year period. The grant, which was completed in September of 2017, helped Bay Path to improve core course offerings, experiential learning and career preparation, and support services.
Overview
Bay Path University's Title III Grant application featured an Activity plan entitled The Learners and Leaders Project. This Activity consists of three interrelated components:
1. Redesigned general education core: The redesigned general education core will involve faculty teams who will align syllabi with core learner outcomes, use active teaching strategies and technology, and develop instructionally-based assessments.
2. Integrated leadership and career development: An Integrated Leadership and Career Development effort (named Women as Empowered Learners and Leaders [WELL]) will bring together cross-component teams to develop a laddered leadership model across the four years of the baccalaureate designed to engage students and prepare them as 21st century leaders.
3. Unified student support services: A Learning Commons will consolidate a suite of unified support services configured to promote project-based and collaborative learning as well as offer technology-assisted instruction and skill development to improve persistence from the point of contact through graduation.
