Abstract	Representing Miami-Dade Community College's (MDCC) mandated report to the state on accountability efforts, this document provides discussions and tables related to statewide accountability measures, providing local data and comparisons to statewide outcomes where possible. The following measures are addressed: high school graduate enrollment by ethnicity; status of Associate of Arts (AA) and Associate of Science (AS) degree seekers after 4 years; AA degree transfers to state universities; licensure pass rates; vocational program placement; trends in students needing college preparatory courses and outcomes after 2 years; and passing rates for the College-Level Skills Assessment Test. Data tables included for each measure provide definitions of the measures, data on outcomes, a five-year target, and a list of activities to meet the target. Highlighted data include the following: (1) 70% of the 1990-91 Hispanic graduates from Dade County high schools enrolled in MDCC the following year; (2) from fall 1989 through summer 1993, 87% of AA degree seekers were successful and 75% were retained over the 4-year period; (3) for AS seekers in the same period, 87% were successful and 70% were retained; (4) 86% of transfers to the state university system in 1991-92 earned grade point averages of 2.0 or better their first year; (5) almost 90% of students required to take licensure examinations in 1991-92 passed them; (6) from 1989-92, M-DCC had a job placement rate of 92% to 95% in vocational programs; and (7) 70% of the students entering M-DCC in fall 1990 tested as deficient in one or more areas compared to 48% for the rest of the state's community colleges.
