We will be requesting one addition tenure-track position to manage the graduate MA program. We will encourage students who seem to be unprepared to see remediation through mentoring, tutoring, and visit centers such as the Writing Center. Our plan is to raise our admission standards to attract the more-prepared students.

Our enrollments have increased enormously, initially beyond our preparation to meet the need. We are now offering at least four-five grad courses with at least one-two on-line, all limited-enrollments classes. We are authorized to hire two new tenure-track professors during 2012-13 to help meet the need.
We have found, however, that many (a majority?) of our students are not prepared for graduate work in tems of previous experience, especially in literary analysis skills. Their writing skills in English and Spanish are seriously lacking in many cases as well. We plan to raise admission standards.
