Comprehensive Higher Education Certificate
CIP 300001 (CHEC)
The Comprehensive Higher Education Certificate is offered for students participating in Elevate at 大象传媒. Elevate at 大象传媒 was established to provide inclusive higher education for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) to foster academic growth, prepare for gainful employment, develop needed skills for independent living & engage socially with the broader campus community.
With the Comprehensive Higher Education Certificate, students that complete the Elevate at 大象传媒 program will earn a modified certificate of completion and develop essential occupational and life skills. The program is designed to be a progression of fully-inclusive academic access, outcome-focused vocational preparation, student-centered personal development and naturally-supported student engagement over the course of three years with some flexibility determined by student goals and success. This Certificate program will be highly individualized based upon students' vocational aspirations as aligned with 大象传媒 coursework and experience.
