<div>Highline is no longer offering a degree program, as employers weren't requiring it for library paraprofessionals, and our enrollments were low. The department did a program review and developed short term certificates in Public Services and Technical Services,
feeling that was a better match for the professional development needs of incumbent library employees wanting to build skills. Enrollments have continued to be soft, so we've suspended those certificates for now.</div>
<div>Interestingly, the area of the program where we continue to have very strong enrollments is in courses required for the school library/media endorsement. </div>

<div>It looks like Highline did drop their program. Thank you all for your feedback. We are working on our curriculum and program review for an upcoming accreditation visit.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Does anyone else NOT have your own library classroom? Or, are we the only ones? : )</div>
