THE COLLEGE WILL (1) HELP STUDENTS PREPARE FOR EQUIVALENCY EXAMINATIONS AT THE SECONDARY LEVEL AS THEY BEGIN COLLEGE WORK, (2) PREPARE THEM AT ONCE FOR WORK IN THE HELPING PROFESSIONS AND PLACE THEM IN JOBS, (3) USE FIELD WORK FOR METHODS TEACHING, (4) OFFER A CORE CURRICULUM BASED ON THE NEEDS OF THE PROFESSIONS AND THE POPULATIONS SERVED, AND (5) OFFER A FLEXIBLE PROGRAM INCLUDING PREPARATION FOR TRANSFER TO A FOUR-YEAR COLLEGE. THERE WILL BE TWO TYPES OF FACULTY, THE COORDINATOR- TRAINER (WOMEN WITH FIELD EXPERIENCE WHO WILL SERVE AS COUNSELORS, SUPERVISORS, AND TEACHERS TO GROUPS OF TEN STUDENTS) AND A SMALL ACADEMIC FACULTY WHO WILL LECTURE IN SOCIOLOGY, PSYCHOLOGY, SOCIAL WORK, AND EDUCATION AND PLAN THE CORE CURRICULUM TO BE INTEGRATED WITH ON-THE-JOB EXPERIENCE AND LEAD TO A JUNIOR COLLEGE DEGREE.
