The college was founded in 1973 by the Connecticut Legislature and offers associate, baccalaureate, and master's degrees. The college is located across Paul Manafort Drive from Central Connecticut State University and is named for Connecticut's famous Charter Oak. Charter Oak State College is one of 17 higher learning institutions that comprise Connecticut State Colleges and Universities (ConnSCU).〔http://www.ct.edu/〕 It is regionally accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, and functions under the degree-granting authority of the Connecticut Board of Regents for Higher Education. Previously, the Board for State Academic Awards (BSAA), established in 1973, granted degrees through Charter Oak State College. In 2012, the Connecticut Board of Regents for Higher Education replaced the BSAA as Charter Oak State College's governing body.〔http://www.cga.ct.gov/current/pub/chap_185.htm#sec_10a-1a〕 Charter Oak has awarded over 11,000 degrees since its founding in 1973.〔http://www.charteroak.edu/aboutus/〕 ==Role and scope== Charter Oak State College awards four degrees: the associate in arts, the associate in science, the bachelor of arts and the bachelor of science. The content of the bachelor's degree programs with a wide selection of concentrations is structured to provide the foundations needed for advanced study since a large number of Charter Oak State College alumni continue their education in graduate school.〔http://www.charteroak.edu/alumni/acceptances.cfm〕 Charter Oak State College assists its students through a variety of academic support services including program planning, testing, and evaluation. The college also delivers online courses, serves as a testing center and provides credit registry services, as well as information regarding other educational opportunities. The college identifies qualified faculty from regionally accredited colleges and universities and other experts to assess academic achievement in areas not measured by standardized tests and to serve as mentors for programs such as online courses, contract learning, and practica. In recruiting these faculty and experts, the college actively seeks to identify educators who value the impact of broad and diverse experience acquired by students. Charter Oak offers credit for military training, testing (i.e., CLEP and DSST (standardized test)), prior learning (assessment and portfolio required), credit previously evaluated by the American Council on Education (ACE), and for learning acquired through some licensing and certification programs (a credential evaluation is required). Charter Oak State College also assists other Connecticut colleges or universities seeking to provide their students with alternate ways to validate college-level learning, develops partnerships with the corporate and non-profit community to meet the state’s workforce needs and through its Connecticut Credit Assessment Program and special assessments evaluates and formally recognizes non-collegiate learning regardless of how or where such learning is acquired. Charter Oak State College conducts institutional research and assessment to monitor and evaluate the progress and success of its students, graduates, and programs. The college uses the results of these assessments to evaluate its effectiveness and to make changes that respond to student, institutional, and societal needs. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charter Oak State College」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
