DESCRIPTION
Short Powerpoint presentation showing what The National Hispanic University has to offer to transfer students throughout Silicon Valley.TRANSCRIPT
The National Hispanic University
“Make your community, your family, and yourself proud.”
Problem: California Budget Crisis
• Limited Space at State-funded institutions (CSUs & UCs)
• Limited Offerings at State-funded institutions (CSUs & UCs)
"Higher education is the system fuel for California's economic growth. We're rapidly running out of that
fuel," Lt. Gov. John Garamendi
Implications: Fewer Transferring Graduates
• CSU policy: SJSU will not be accepting any applications for admission for Spring 2010. Applies to all categories – freshmen,
transfer, credential, and graduate.
• Transfer students do not have clear paths or timetable to graduation
Solution: National Hispanic University
• NHU provides a clear academic and financial aid pathway and timetable to graduation
• Ability to transfer EVC units easily and quickly
