  • The Voice of the Catamounts Volume 60 Issue 9 WCU Continues to Offer Masters in Educational Administration Erin Painter StaffReporter Favorable recommendations have made it possible for WCU's Master of Educational Administration degree program to continue. A mandate from the NC General Assembly called for the UNC Board of Governors to consolidate and advance the master's programs at UNC institutions. The board soon eliminated five of the system's twelve programs, which offered graduate-level training for school administrators. A national review panel was formed to make the important decision from submitted proposals, which were to be critiqued and ranked by the panel. Panel members praised WCU's proposals, because "it presents a clear vision of the role of the principal as a transformational leader; it has heavy emphasis on teaching and learning; and it emphasizes the needs of leadership in rural schools." The proposal was also thought to reflect a "straight-forward and workman-like" aspect of the program and portray its "vitality to the institution." With the Master of Educational Administration program secure, the program's curriculum has been expanded to include school-site internships and other graduate-level courses. Gurney Chambers, Dean of the College of Education and Psychology at WCU, said that new students admitted to the'program will have to meet stricter requirements. WCU is now awaiting final approval by the Board of Governors regarding implementation of its doctoral program for administrators, the Ed.D. in Educational Leadership.

Photo by Justin Menickelli WCU Student Enrollment Reaches Ail-Time High Student enrollment at WCU is at an all-time high, according to a report submitted to the General Administration of the University of North Carolina. WCU reported a student headcount of 6,619 for the 1994 fall semester, a four percent increase over last fall's resident-credit headcount of 6,368. Part of the reason for the enrollment increase is an eighteen percent rise in the number of freshmen, said Michael Malone, Associate Vice-Chancellor for Academic Affairs at WCU. "This year's freshman class of 1,245 is the largest in the 1990s, an increase that comes despite a nationwide decline in the number of high school graduates," Malone said. Also contributing to the high enrollment is the security factor of WCU's rural campus, ranked the safest in the state by a recent book examining campus crime. Low tuition and fees makes WCU one of the most affordable universities in the state.
