6 Cerritos College Catalog history Cerritos College was established on June 10, 1955, when citizens of the Bellflower, Norwalk, Artesia, Carmenita, and Bloomfield elementary districts voted four-to-one in favor of forming a junior college district. on September 27, 1955, a ballot measure calling for a six-million-dollar bond issue to build the junior college passed, again by a four-to-one margin. Title to the proposed college site was acquired on December 5, 1956, and the college board turned its attention to securing favorable zoning so that construction could begin. The credit for the birth of Cerritos College lies chiefly with Dr. ralph Burnight, first president of the institution. Superintendent of the excelsior Union High School District for 27 years before the college was born, Burnight had seen the need for the extension of educational opportunities offered at his high school and fought the state board of education for the establishment of a college in 1953, when the state board indicated it was doubtful that the district could attract a minimum enrollment of 400 students. Dr. Burnight, however, was convinced that the area would continue to grow, and three years later the board of trustees Leslie Nottingham, Walter Van Alstine, Dale Donnell, Al Sommer and Arthur Kulzer authorized the college to offer instruction. on September 11, 1956, in classrooms rented from the excelsior High School District, 197 students enrolled in classes and made the college a reality. That first semester, ten certified teachers offered 15 subjects, with Dr. Burnight at the helm. Beginning with the school year, the college operated out of Artesia High School, awaiting the completion of the new campus. By the end of 1959, eight buildings (Field House, ; Business education, Lecture Hall, Science, Shower and Locker, ; Liberal Arts, Technology, electronics, ) had been completed on campus, and funds were made available to provide the remaining facilities to accommodate a student body of 3,500 students. By 1961 the campus was beginning to look like a college with the completion of four more buildings (Library and Gymnasium, ; Metal Trades Shop Building, ; Student Center, ) and an enrollment of 4,000 students. The campus included 95 acres in 1964, and its 15 permanent buildings brought the value of the college to 16 million dollars; it now served a district with an assessed valuation of 271 million dollars. effective July 1, 1965, the district included the ABC Unified School District, the Bellflower Unified School District, the Downey Unified School District and the Norwalk-La Mirada Unified School District. District population was 400,000 and the assessed valuation had jumped to more than 500 million dollars. This would be the year that, beyond the bravest expectations of everyone connected with Cerritos College, enrollment would exceed 10,000 students. The College acquired the South 40 acres by 1966, enlarging the campus to 135 acres. The purchase proved to be an excellent investment by the board; land values in the college s district have since skyrocketed. The property today supports the Health Sciences Building, the largest parking lot on campus, the Auto Technology Building and the Community education Center. The campus grew to 18 buildings by the school year, with a student enrollment of more than 11,000. The district, too, was growing and now included more than half a million people and an assessed valuation of 543 million dollars. The 18 buildings were complemented by a weight-lifting facility in 1971 and a student activities and bookstore complex in With the campus thus complete for the time being,the administration and board of trustees turned to building the excellence of the academic programs,which had a strong foundation.innovation in satellite courses, televised instruction, open entry and exit classes, and the move into audio-visual instruction marked the coming decade. 6

7 Cerritos College Catalog in 1972, the student population reached 17,000. The next year, 18,000 students attended classes, and the assessed valuation of the district had grown to more than 800 million dollars. The early 1970 s were marked by spiraling inflation and tighter money, yet the College financed a new, modern bookstore ( ), the Health Sciences Building (2-1-78) and the Auto Technology Building (9-1-78) to cope with the growing demands of students. The bicentennial year in 1976 was a special time for Cerritos, as well as for millions of other Americans. Twenty years earlier, the 135- acre campus had been in its infancy, and educational visionaries had predicted that by 1975 more than 15,000 students would be attending classes in the many buildings depicted only on the architect s drawing boards. That modest forecast failed to foresee an even greater need in the community by 1975, when nearly 23,000 students enrolled in courses. in , the predicted 15,000 had already been exceeded and growing pains brought expansion to the campus, which continues to grow to meet the demands of the surrounding communities. By its twenty-fifth anniversary in1980,cerritos College had educated nearly 250,000 students since it first opened its doors at excelsior High School. Course offerings had expanded, a satellite campus program had been implemented, and the faculty and staff had grown as the community needs increased. Cerritos College received its first ever Federal Title iii Grant in The grant was in the amount of $500,000 renewable for five years, totaling 2.5 million dollars. in the mid 1990 s, the college underwent five major renovations. in 1994, the Wilford Michael Library and Learning resource Center (LrC) underwent another major renovation and expansion. The library expanded from 22,000 square feet to over 40,000 square feet. The old card catalog was replaced with an automated online system as a result of a major financial gift by the Associated Students of Cerritos College (ASCC). A modern teleconference center and learning assistance lab were added to the east wing of the Learning resource Center. The student center was renovated in 1995, funded by a threeway partnership between the ASCC, the college district and the state. Unchanged since its doors first opened,the student center was completely remodeled from the main floor to the adjacent culinary arts food service area. The renovation also included a four-restaurant food court with both indoor and outdoor casual dining for students. in fall of 1998, Cerritos College opened the doors to the one- Stop Student Services Center. The new center houses a full spectrum of student resources including admissions and records, academic counseling, financial aid, the Scholars Honors Program, veteran s affairs, eops (extended opportunities Programs and Services) and university transfer assistance. each department is equipped with high-speed computers, designed to provide immediate access to the college s network. in addition, the college s Career Services and Job Placement Centers have been moved within a short distance of the one Stop Student Services Center, making it the central hub of all Student Services and enrollment activities. Also in the fall of 1998, the second phase of the Learning resource Center opened, featuring a computer lab with more than 500 high-speed personal computers and 699 data ports. The dual-level computer labs provide students with access to the latest software, high-speed internet and tutorial programs. in addition, there are dedicated labs for reading, math, english and foreign languages. This renovation of the LrC was part of a $12 million investment in a technology infrastructure that also included the wiring of the entire campus and the placement of a networked PC on the desk of each employee.as a result, Cerritos College became the most technologically advanced community college in the state for teaching and learning. in 1999, the ASCC underwrote the development of Falcon Square, formerly a cement quad situated at the heart of the campus. Falcon Square is a wonderful area for students to relax or study in front of a split face block waterfall with concrete seat caps and slate covering. As part of the renovation, a 300-seat outdoor amphitheater was built in front of the College s music building. Cerritos College takes pride in the quality of their outstanding faculty. in 1995, economics Professor Dianne Keenan was selected as the Community College Professor of the Year by the National Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. in 1999, Mathematics Professor Susan Parsons was recognized as the nation s outstanding Community College Faculty Member of the Year by the Association of Community College Trustees (ACCT). Cerritos College is highly diverse. Cerritos College ranks third in California and sixth in the nation among Hispanic-serving community colleges for the number of associate s degrees granted to Hispanic students. Furthermore, it is home to more than 300 international students representing 34 countries. With the turn of the millennium, expansion began to take on a new face at Cerritos College. instead of adding onto the campus as in the past, Cerritos College began to develop global partnerships with the aid of technology. This became extremely beneficial to education in the aftermath of September 11,2001,when pursuing crosscultural educational opportunities became more challenging. in late 1999, a partnership began between Cerritos College and the University of Wisconsin-Stout (UW-Stout). The two colleges began to hold joint class sessions in real time with the use of a TV screen and the internet. in 2002, the ground work was set for Cerritos College to launch into the world of tribal technology with the American indian community. in 2003, the college began offering online courses offering custom training for American tribal governments. Cerritos College was awarded a $50,000 Verizon Foundation Grant for the pilot phase of their program, and its first workshop to promote the program was attended by over 15 tribes from California,Arizona, oklahoma, idaho and Nevada. in 2003, the concept of the virtual classroom once again expanded, and Cerritos College entered into a similar partnership with international Pacific College (ipc) in New Zealand. For the first time ever at Cerritos College, two hemispheres were connected in real time and students participated in multi-national approaches to world history. Both the partnership with UW-Stout and ipc also allowed for a handful of Cerritos students to visit their partner campuses and experience hands on what they had been experiencing via technology. A local bond act was passed by District voters in 2004 providing the college with $210 million for the transformation of the campus. Voter confidence in the college was high as the college demonstrated the need for new buildings and facilities for the next fifty years of service to the region. Construction of the new science building was completed. Currently, new projects under way include a new classroom building and remodeled and new automotive technology buildings. Planning continues for additional buildings on campus including the replacement of the Burnight Center. in 2005,Cerritos College celebrated its golden anniversary through the special events and 50th Anniversary Scholarships honoring the college s 50 years of tradition, honor and values. Northwood University, with campuses in Florida, Michigan, and Texas, joined Cerritos College in 2006 to offer a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in either Management or Automotive Marketing/ Management. Students are able to complete their first three years of college courses at Cerritos College and then take their fourth year of coursework with Northwood University on the Cerritos College campus. This unique partnership provides a direct path for students to earn their higher degrees with a nationally recognized and accredited university. Northwood University, with over 33,000 graduates, celebrated its 50th anniversary in

This is the case when a specific body of knowledge and/or skill(s) must be learned or demonstrated before the student can be expected to successfully progress to the next level course. For example, engl 52 must be taken before engl 100. This is an example of courses that must be taken in sequence. Students are encouraged to consult the course descriptions found in the current college catalog for the identification of the prerequisites for a course. Students currently enrolled in a prerequisite course at Cerritos College will be allowed to enroll in the next sequenced course. For example, students enrolled in engl 52 for fall may enroll in engl 100 for spring. However, it is the student s responsibility to verify they have passed the prerequisite course. if a passing grade is not received, the student will be dropped some time during the semester. Automated prerequisite checking will stop students from enrolling in a class that has a required prerequisite that has not been met. Prerequisites are checked at the time of enrollment (Auto-enroll and Instructor adds). Prerequisites are not checked when classes are added to shopping cart, but are enforced before completion of enrollment.

25 scholars honors Program The Scholars Honors Program (SHP) at Cerritos College provides transfer-bound students with the opportunity to enrich themselves through participation in unique, challenging and interactive educational experiences. The SHP promotes this goal by providing an office that supports and assists students, by offering special Honors course sections taught by outstanding professors, and by offering opportunities for students to work one-on-one and in class with these faculty members through honors research contracts. Honors courses build skills in speaking, writing, analytical thinking, problem solving and task management. They fulfill basic general education requirements for graduation and transfer to a four-year college or university. advantages of honors Honors programs in the community college are the least expensive and one of the most efficient ways to get a good education and prepare for admission to the 4-year university or college of choice. Major universities that reject most of those who apply as freshmen will often accept most of the community college honors program students who apply for junior year transfer. The Scholars Honors Program at Cerritos is an effective way to develop your reading, writing, critical thinking and research skills and to learn to work directly with faculty members. This helps you to get good letters of recommendation that can be used for transferring to a four-year college or university, or applying for a job, internship or special program.

Typically, the same group of students is co-enrolled in two or more courses, usually from different disciplines for instance, history and art, english and career guidance, political science and philosophy. Students enroll in both courses but receive a separate grade for each one. Course instructors integrate their syllabi, encouraging students to gain a deeper understanding of each course, even as they discover connections between the two. Classroom activities, tests, assignments, 25

28 attendance it is the responsibility of students to attend classes regularly and apply themselves to the college studies in which they are enrolled. When students have been absent due to illness, they should report to the instructor in charge to explain the absence. When the hours of absence exceed one more than twice the number of class hours per week, the students are considered to be excessively absent and are subject to exclusion from class. For summer school, a student is considered excessively absent and subject to exclusion from class when the hours of absence exceed ten percent (10%) of the total class hours. Listed below are two types of absences which permit the making up of work missed, provided that the work is of such a nature that it can be made up. 1. AUTHoriZeD ABSeNCe: For an approved educational field trip or school activity. 2. excused ABSeNCe: For illness, injury, or quarantine. 3. JUrY DUTY: Serving on jury duty is a civic and expected responsibility. Typically, courts tend to be lenient with students who are pursuing their education. if, however, an active student is required to serve on jury duty, an arrangement must be worked out in such a way that the student, upon presentation of proper documentation will not be penalized with a substandard grade in a course. Should an impasse develop between a faculty member and student, a decision can be appealed to the Dean of Academic Affairs before the final grade is assigned.

29 Cerritos College Catalog Pass/no Pass Courses Title 5, California Administrative Code 55022, permits the granting of credit toward a degree or certificate for courses completed on a Pass/ No Pass basis. All sections of the course must be offered in the same manner. Courses may be offered for Pass/No Pass in either of the following categories and will be specified in the catalog: Pass/No Pass Only Grading Basis Courses wherein all students are evaluated on a Pass/No Pass basis only. Please refer to current Class Schedule for the list of courses offered as Pass/No Pass only. Optional Pass/No Pass Grading Basis Courses in which each student has the option to individually elect Pass/No Pass or letter grade. Please refer to the current Class Schedule for the list of courses offered with the Pass/No Pass option. The decision to elect Pass/No Pass grading must be made by the end of the fifth week of a full semester course or by the first 30% of a shortterm course, after which no other evaluative grade may be given. Pass/ No Pass forms are available online or in the Admissions, records and Services office in the Administration Building. Forms must be received and processed by the Admissions, records and Services office in order to receive the Pass/No Pass notation. A grade of P is earned for coursework equal to a grade of C or better. A grade of NP is earned for coursework equal to a grade of D or F. Neither P nor NP grades are used in computation of grade point average; however, P/NP units will appear on the transcript of record. A student may reverse P/NP selection to a letter grade, provided the reversal is completed prior to the end of the fifth week of a full semester course or prior to the first 30% of a short term course. Units attempted for which a grade of NP is recorded shall be considered in probation and dismissal procedures. Students may not repeat a course using the P/NP grading basis for a course previously taken for a letter grade. Students are advised that four-year institutions may limit the number of units acceptable for transfer completed with a P/NP notation. acceptance of transfer College CredIt A student who presents an official transcript of previous college or university work (other than non-degree applicable course work) in courses comparable to those of Cerritos College may receive credit towards the Associate in Arts degree from Cerritos College. Before credit can be granted, the course work must have been completed at a college or university that is a member of one of the six regional accrediting associations. official transcripts must be on file with the Admissions, records and Services office. Hand-delivered copies of transcripts are accepted provided they are received in a sealed envelope. Transfer credit from institutions using the quarter system shall be evaluated as follows: The number of quarter units shall be multiplied by two and divided by three to arrive at the approximate number of semester units. (i.e., 4 quarter units equal approximately 3 semester units.) Cerritos College is authorized to enroll international F-1 status students and welcomes applications from such persons. All records of any previous schooling (mark sheets, transcripts, diplomas, certificates, etc.) must be submitted as original documents. These records must show courses taken and grades earned, and must be translated into english if the original records are in another language. if a translation is supplied, it should be certified as accurate and correct by an appropriate public or school official, or sponsoring agency or government. The original record should also be included. Prior to the application of credit towards the Associate in Arts degree (A.A.), the international transcript must be submitted to evaluation agencies acceptable to Cerritos College. The college may then choose to accept or not accept the agency s recommendations to award credit towards the Associate in Arts degree. Since the four-year universities maintain their own individual evaluation staffs, credit from foreign institutions towards the baccalaureate degree is subject to the universities review. international students also refer toadmissions of international Students in this catalog and contact the international Student Center at (562) , ext. 2133; Fax (562) ; or dkurtz@cerritos.edu. advanced PlaCement exam CredIt Cerritos College will grant credit for College Board Advanced Placement examinations.

College level examination Program (CleP) The College entrance examination Board (CeeB) offers General and Subject examinations through the College Level examination Program (CLeP). The General examinations measure college-level achievement in five general areas and the material covered is comparable to general education courses at the college freshman and sophomore levels. You may satisfy a significant portion of your general education requirements towards the Associate in Arts degree (Plan A) through CLeP General examinations. Cerritos College will grant a corresponding number of units of credit for each general examination on which a student scores 500 or higher. The College Level examination Program is designed to be a means through which recognition, academic credit, and placement may be given for less conventional forms of educational experience. Those who may have reached a college-level of education through home or correspondence study, on-the-job training, telecourses, military service or other means may take the CLeP examinations which are offered by the College entrance examination Board. A residency of 12 units of satisfactory work must be completed at Cerritos College prior to granting of credit under this program. A maximum of 30 units of credit via CLeP may be credited toward the Associate in Arts degree (Plan A). Credit for CLeP exams is granted as follows: General Examination Units A.A. GE Area *english Composition (with essay) 6 6 d. (1) **Mathematics 6 6 d. (2) Natural Sciences 6 6 a. Social Sciences 6 6 b. (3) Humanities 6 6 c. *Also satisfies the Writing Proficiency Requirement for the A.A. degree only if the English Composition with Essay is taken. **Also satisfies the Mathematics Proficiency Requirement for the A.A. degree. You may not use CLeP to improve a previous grade earned in a course. No credit may be earned by CLeP for any course in which the student has already received a grade. CLeP credit posted to another institution s transcript is reevaluated based on Cerritos College s standards. evaluations made and credit allowed by Cerritos College are subject to review and evaluations by any college or university to which the student may later transfer. CLeP credit granted at Cerritos College will not be used to certify general education requirements for transfer. The University of California will not accept CLeP for transfer credit. repeating a CLeP examination is governed by a six-month waiting period. Cerritos College Catalog Credit for Subject examinations may be granted by Cerritos College for scores of 50 or more. The units may be applied in an area of general education and/or the major at the discretion of the college. requests for general education credit should be submitted to the Admissions, records and Services office on a Petition to the Academic records and Standards Committee. requests for major credit should be discussed with a counselor. student services associated students The Associated Students of Cerritos College (ASCC) provides the governing body that finances, organizes, and directs many programs for the student population. it co-sponsors with the district such activities as touchtone registration, athletics, choir, band, forensics, drama, and student newspaper. The ASCC student government includes legislative, executive, and judicial branches. Participation in these programs and other campus activities has been a significant part of many students college experience. statement of student rights and responsibilities PreAMBLe The community college exists for the transmission of knowledge, the pursuit of truth, the development of students and the general well being of society. Free inquiry and free expression are indispensable to the attainment of these goals. As members of the academic community students should be encouraged to develop the capacity for critical judgment and to engage in a sustained and independent search for truth and knowledge. Freedom to teach and freedom to learn are inseparable facets of academic freedom. The freedom to learn depends upon appropriate opportunities and conditions in the classroom, on the campus and in the larger community. Students should exercise their freedom with responsibility so as not to endanger the rights, goals and beliefs of other students. Cerritos College should be open to all qualified students regardless of race, color, national origin, ancestry, sex/gender, age, religion, marital status, disability,vietnam Veteran status, or sexual orientation. CLASSrooM rights AND responsibilities The professor in the classroom and in conference should permit free discussion, inquiry and expression of thought by the student. Student performance should be evaluated solely on an academic basis, not on opinions or willingness to accept professors personal beliefs, or conduct unrelated to academic standards. Student should be free to take reasoned exception to the data or views offered in any course of study for which they are enrolled and for maintaining standards of academic performance established for each course in which they are enrolled. The student has the right to have the course taught in a systematic, meaningful manner and of knowing at the beginning of the course those academic standards required of the student in the course. Administrative staff and faculty members should respect confidential information about students such as student views, beliefs and political associations, which is acquired in the course of their work. Transcripts of academic records should contain only information about academic status. on CAMPUS rights AND responsibilities Students should be free to examine and discuss all questions of interest to them, and express opinions publicly and privately. They should be free to organize and join associations to promote their common interests. The membership, policies and actions of a student 30

31 organization will be determined by vote of only those persons who hold bona fide membership in that college organization. Campus advisors shall advise organizations in the exercise of their rights and responsibilities. Student organizations shall be required to submit a statement of purpose, criteria for membership, rules of procedures, a current list of officers and the advisor shall certify the list of verified members. Campus organizations should be open to all students. Student and student organizations should be free to support causes by orderly means which do not disrupt the regular and essential operation of the college. Student organizations shall have the right to recommend, invite and to hear any person of their own choosing as long as such speakers and topics are in accordance with federal, state and local laws, and guarantee the safety of students and protection of public property. Guest speakers invited by students or student organizations should be subjected only to those policies, requirements, and regulations as established by the Board of Trustees in order to insure an appropriate and meaningful contribution to the academic community. it should be made clear to the academic community and the larger community that the public expressions of students, student organizations and guest speakers speak only for themselves. As constituents of the academic community, students should be free, individually and collectively, to express their views on issues of institutional policy, instruction, the evaluation of professors as it pertains to their course content and on matters of general interest to the student body. in THe LArGer CoMMUNiTY College students are both citizens and members of the academic community. As citizens, students should enjoy the same freedom of speech, peaceful assembly and right of petition that other citizens enjoy. As citizens they should be subject to civil law as others and may incur penalties prescribed by civil authorities when violating these laws. only where the college s interests as an academic community are distinct and clearly involved should the special authority of the college be asserted. STUDeNT PUBLiCATioNS Student publications and the student press perform the traditional roles of informing, entertaining and influencing. They are both instructional and informational, and as such should meet the highest academic and professional standards in serving the broad college community and should set forth as the primary goal of the student newspaper the coverage of news events, happenings and experiences on the college campus. Associated Student Body, administrative and academic authorities, in consultation with students and advisors have the responsibility to define and clarify the role of student publications, and the standards to be used in their evaluation. They must also assure that both academic freedom and editorial freedom are protected and exercised so that the integrity of the student publications program and the free press will not be compromised. it is incumbent upon student editors and managers to act according to the highest ethics of responsible journalism. This corollary responsibility includes careful adherence to the laws of libel and good taste, and such considerations as the avoidance of indecency, undocumented allegations, attacks on personal integrity, and the techniques of harassment and innuendo and should allow adequate space for rebuttal and differing views in regard to articles in which there is some controversy. Safeguards to assure freedom of the student press with responsibility should include freedom from censorship or arbitrary control of the press, and protection of editors and managers from arbitrary attack, suspension, or removal because of disapproval of editorial policy or content by any external influence.

But success means more than just receiving a passing grade in a course. Success means that you have mastered the course content so that you may use that knowledge in the future, either to be successful on a job, or to continue on with your education in advanced classes. Your success depends on a combination of the skill and knowledge of your instructors, and your own hard work. You will reach your future goals only if you gain new knowledge from every course you take. That knowledge becomes yours, and can be used by you, only if it is gained through your own personal efforts. receiving a grade in a course, without acquiring the knowledge that goes with it, diminishes your chances for future success. While in college, you are also shaping the principles which will guide you throughout the rest of your life. ethical behavior and integrity are a vital part of those principles. A reputation for honesty says more about you, and is more highly prized, than simply your academic skills. For that reason, academic honesty is taken very seriously by the Cerritos College faculty. The following guidelines have been prepared so that you will understand what is expected of you in maintaining academic honesty. Academic dishonesty is normally to be dealt with as an academic action by the instructor, reflected in the student s grade in the particular course, rather than through college disciplinary procedures. No specific departmental, divisional or institutional procedures are established for academic dishonesty other than the normal process for review and appeal of an instructor s grading procedures. However, plagiarism, cheating, and other forms of academic dishonesty are violations of the college s official Standards of Conduct. Cerritos College Catalog 35 Academic dishonesty is defined as the act of obtaining or attempting to obtain credit for work by the use of any dishonest, deceptive or fraudulent means. examples of academic dishonesty would include, but not be limited to the following: Copying, either in part or in whole, from another s test or examination; Discussion of answers or ideas relating to the answers, on examination or test when the instructor prohibits such discussion; obtaining copies of an exam without the permission of the instructor; Using notes, cheat sheets, or otherwise utilizing information or devices not considered appropriate under the prescribed test conditions; Altering a grade or interfering with the grading procedures in any course; Allowing someone other than the officially enrolled student to represent the same; Plagiarism, which is defined as the act of taking the ideas, words or specific substantive material of another and offering them as one s own without giving credit to the source. options may be exercised by the faculty member to the extent that the faculty member considers the cheating or plagiarism to manifest the student s lack of scholarship or to reflect on the student s lack of academic performance in the course. one or more of the following actions are available to the faculty member who suspects a student has been cheating or plagiarizing: 1. review-no action. 2. An oral reprimand with emphasis on counseling toward prevention of further occurrences. 3. A requirement that work be repeated. 4.

45 return of title Iv funds Federal aid recipients who withdraw or are dropped from ALL classes by the instructor are subject to new regulations regarding the return of Title iv funds. Students who withdraw or are dropped from all classes prior to completing more than 60% of the enrollment period are subject to these rules. Based on the date of the complete withdrawal or drop, the Financial Aid office will determine the amount, if any, of unearned federal financial aid received by the student. The calculation will begin by determining the percentage of the enrollment period completed by the students as follows: Number of days completed Total number of days in the semester The result will equal the percentage of the enrollment period completed. The amount of federal financial aid that was paid or could have been paid to the student will be based on this percentage. if the student received more financial aid than the amount earned, the student will be billed for the overpayment. Financial aid recipients should be cautioned to (1) avoid total withdrawal from all classes, (2) successfully complete at least one class during the semester, and (3) repay any unearned financial aid as soon as possible to regain eligibility for financial aid. in cases where a student receives all F grades, the student will be billed up to 50% of their aid until the student can provide documentation that the F grade was earned. Any aid recipient who needs to withdraw from all classes should contact the Admissions, records and Services office and the Financial Aid office. recipients are encouraged to discuss alternatives to withdrawing from class(es) with their instructor(s) or a counselor before making a final decision. Title iv funds are awarded to a student under the assumption that the student will attend school for the entire period for which the assistance is awarded. grant over-awards There are occasions when students receive financial aid payments based upon misreported information. This results in a grant over-award. examples of misreported information include inaccurate or omitted income, prior loan defaults or grant overpayments, having a Bachelor s degree, not having a high school diploma or GeD, forged signatures, and unsatisfactory academic progress, just to name a few. Students who receive grant funds due to misinformation as noted above are required to repay THe entire SUM received. office of veterans affairs The office of Veterans Affairs offers information regarding applications and certification for benefits for those eligible for Montgomery G.i.

46 Cerritos College Catalog associate in arts degree graduation requirements The California Community College Board of Governors has authorized the Cerritos College Board of Trustees to confer the Associate in Arts Degree. A candidate does not automatically receive the Associate in Arts Degree upon completion of unit and course requirements, but is required to file a petition for the degree. College education is usually thought of as consisting of two parts, specialized education and general education. Specialized education is that which prepares the student for vocational competence or for scholastic attainment in a particular field. This the student accomplishes through the department major. General education, on the other hand, is that which meets the common goals of all students for personal enrichment and cultural development. Work in this area helps the student increase individual ability as a citizen and improve community, home, and family living. Although courses may be designed with one or the other of these purposes as the primary gain, all courses are presented with the values of general education in mind. College education then becomes the sum total of all the student s experience in college,and the student s education may be completed in both these areas and be granted the degree of Associate in Arts. PetItIon for associate In arts degree 1. Students desiring an Associate in Arts Degree must file a Petition for Associate in Arts Degree form. The petition may be obtained in the Counseling Center and must be submitted before the deadline posted in the College schedule of classes.

47 Cerritos College Catalog Cerritos College associate in arts degree requirements for the Associate in Arts degree at Cerritos College can be met in one of three different ways: Plan A, B or C. PLAN A is designed primarily for those students interested in preparing for a vocational career upon graduation. Plan A may also be used by university transfer students and for students in vocational majors who may possibly wish to transfer in the future. However, there are courses listed under Plan A that are not transferable for general education credit to the four-year universities. Therefore, students wishing to use this option should see a Cerritos College counselor for advice in selecting the A.A. General education plan that in combination with a major will best match their educational and career goals. Please see the Plan A degree description page for further details. PLAN B is designed primarily for students who will transfer to a CSU campus and are not interested in attending a University of California campus. Students may use this plan to combine completion of both the Associate in Arts general education requirements, and the California State University (CSU) General education Certification pattern. Students should see a counselor for advice on selecting the A.A. General education plan that in combination with a major will best match their educational and career goals. Please see the Plan B degree description page for further details. PLAN C is designed primarily for students who intend to transfer to the University of California, or who are undecided between transferring to the University of California or the California State University. Students may use this plan to combine completion of both the A.A. degree general education requirements and the intersegmental General education Transfer Curriculum (igetc) requirements. Plan C may not be recommended for some majors at certain CSU or UC campuses. Please see the Plan C description page for further details. The significant differences between Plan A, Plan B and Plan C are: PLAN A requires the completion of a minimum of 18 units of identified general education courses and requirements and a minimum of 18 units of specified major courses, proficiency requirements and electives, if necessary, to total a minimum of 60 degree applicable units. PLAN B requires a minimum of 39 units of identified CSU general education courses and requirements plus specified lower-division major preparation, the health and wellness proficiency requirement, and elective courses, if necessary, for a minimum of 60 degree applicable units. if a student only wishes to transfer at an upper division level and is not seeking an A.A. degree, a minimum of 60 CSU transferable units is required. (See transfer requirements for CSU) PLAN C requires a minimum of 34 (UC) or 37 (CSU) units of identified general education courses and requirements plus specified lower-division major preparation courses, the health and wellness proficiency requirement, and electives, if necessary, to total a minimum of 60 degree applicable units. if a student only wishes to transfer at an upper division level and is not seeking an A.A. degree, a minimum of 60 UC transferable units is required. (See igetc and UC transfer requirements.) There are important differences among the three plans. in order to select the plan that best meets each individual s A.A. and transfer goals, students should see a Cerritos College counselor. 47

52 Cerritos College Catalog associate in arts degree for general education Plan C Intersegmental general education transfer Curriculum (IgetC) for transfer to uc and Csu Plan C is designed primarily for students who intend to transfer to the University of California (UC) or are undecided between transferring to the UC or the California State University (CSU). Students may use this plan to combine completion of both the A.A. Degree general education requirements and the igetc General education requirements. The purpose of igetc is to provide an option for students to fulfill lower division general education requirements prior to transferring to a UC or CSU campus. Depending upon the student s major and campus choice, it may be advantageous to complete the requirements of the specific campus the student plans to attend. in general, it is not advisable for transfer students preparing for majors at any UC campus requiring a high number of units, such as engineering and science, to use igetc. Plan C can be fulfilled by completing the igetc requirements specified for either the UC or CSU. A letter grade of C or higher is required in all Plan C courses. To earn an Associate in Arts degree using Plan C, students must complete a minimum of 60 degree applicable units with a grade point average of C (2.0) or higher, which must include the specified general education requirements and designated courses for a major. The Health and Wellness Proficiency requirement must be completed. if a student wishes only to transfer and is not seeking an A.A. degree, there are no proficiencies required for igetc certification. it should be noted that completion of igetc is not required for admission to the UC or CSU. Further information and other regulations pertaining to igetc and the Associate in Arts Degree are found in this Catalog. area 1 english CommunICatIon CSU: Courses from A, B, and C required.

54 Cerritos College Catalog transfer requirements Students planning to transfer to a four-year college or university should bear in mind that admission and subject requirements will vary from school to school. Consequently, students planning to transfer should study carefully the requirements set forth in the catalogs and brochures of the institutions which interest them. Such publications may be obtained directly from the colleges and universities. A large number of websites allow students to access such information via the internet. Many of these links are available at the Transfer Center website, edu/transfer. To assure that appropriate transfer course work is being undertaken at Cerritos College, students should plan to communicate regularly with a counselor. IndePendent and out-of-state Colleges and universities transfer requirements There are many choices for transfer students when deciding to earn a bachelor s degree and beyond. in addition to the California State University and University of California systems, there are many California independent institutions. There are also many colleges, private and public, located throughout the United States to which Cerritos College students can transfer. each of these institutions has its own unique requirements for admission.in order to determine eligibility, students should refer to the school s catalog or website and consult with a counselor at Cerritos College and/or the university of choice. general education requirements for IndePendent and out-of-state Colleges and universities in planning for transfer, students should consider the general education requirements for all institutions of interest. Many in-state independent institutions accept CSU General education and igetc. Students transferring to independent or out-of-state institutions should refer to the school s catalog or website and meet with a counselor in order to determine appropriate general education requirements. Cerritos College has articulated general education requirements with a number of independent institutions. You can visit the Transfer Center s website at for a complete list of articulation agreements. the CalIfornIa state university transfer requirements Lower Division Transfer Requirements if you have completed fewer than 60 transferable semester (90 quarter) units, you will qualify for admission if you have a grade point average of 2.0 (C) or higher in all transferable units attempted, are in good standing at the last college or university attended, and meet the admission requirements for first-time freshmen, i.e., you have completed with a grade of C or higher each of the courses in the comprehensive pattern of college preparatory subject requirements and have a qualifiable eligibility index. if you did not complete all the subject requirements in high school, appropriate college courses may be used to make up the missing subjects. Nonresidents must meet the eligibility index for nonresidents.note: Not all California State Universities accept lower division transfers. Please go to www. csumentor.edu to find out more. attended are required. in addition, you must have completed at least 30 semester (45 quarter) units of college courses with a grade of C or higher in each course to be selected from courses in english, arts and humanities, social science, science, and mathematics at a level at least equivalent to courses that meet general education requirements. The 30 general education semester (45 quarter) units (Plan B/Plan C) must include engl 100, oral communication, critical thinking, and transferable mathematics with a minimum prerequisite of intermediate algebra. The engl 100,oral communication, critical thinking, and transferable mathematics courses must be completed with a grade of C or higher. Although 2.0 is the minimum, the California State University is becoming more competitive and students should try to maintain the highest possible grade point average. Test Scores Freshman and transfer applicants who have fewer than 60 semester or 90 quarter units of transferable college credit must submit scores, unless exempt, from either the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) of the College Board or the American College Testing Program (ACT). if you are applying to an impacted program and are required to submit test scores, you should take the test no later than December if applying for fall admission. registration forms and dates for the SAT and ACT are available from school and college counselors or from a campus testing office. or you may write to: The College Board (SAT) American College Testing Program (ACT) registration Unit, Box 592 registration Unit, P.o.

Some campuses may require a score higher than 500. Transcripts: Final official transcripts must be submitted prior to enrollment to verify that all required coursework has been completed successfully. CSU campuses will either delay admission or not permit registration or attendance until receipt of final transcripts. Freshman: The campus to which you are applying will provide information about when to submit your official high school transcript. Transcripts must be received in sealed envelopes directly from the high school from which you graduated. Transfers: request that official transcripts be sent directly from all colleges or universities previously attended even if no coursework was completed. Transcripts must be received in sealed envelopes from each institution attended. You should keep personal copies of all transcripts and test scores to complete the admission application and for academic advising sessions. Upper Division Transfer Requirements Completion of at least 60 transferable semester (90 quarter) units,a grade point average of 2.0 (C) or higher in all transferable units attempted (nonresidents must have a grade point average of 2.4), and in good standing at the last college or university 54

55 the lower-division transfer Patterns (ldtp) ProJeCt The Lower-Division Transfer Patterns (LDTP) Project, sponsored by the California State University (CSU) and supported by the California Community Colleges, presents potential transfer students with a set of road maps to follow that are designed to ensure appropriate academic preparation for studies at CSU and that will decrease time to graduation once these students enter the CSU. The LDTP for each major-related discipline has statewide as well as campus-specific components. The statewide component of the LDTP is appropriate for any CSU campus that offers the major and is comprised of general education coursework as well as some courses within the major discipline. The campusspecific component identifies major-related coursework at the specific CSU campus. Together these components for an LDTP discipline will generally total at least 60 units, the number needed to transfer to CSU as an upper-division student. Forty-four disciplines have developed patterns. Thirty-two are published on the LDTP website. For the most current information about the patterns and course descriptors, please see acadaff/ldtp/. general education requirements for the BaChelor s degree at the CalIfornIa state university The California Administrative Code, Title 5, relating to the California State University general education-breadth requirements authorizes Cerritos College to present to the students a maximum 39-unit pattern of general education courses which is acceptable for the Bachelor Degree requirements at the California State University. Cerritos College is further authorized to certify the partial or complete fulfillment of these requirements. College Level examination Program (CLeP) credit granted at Cerritos College will not be used to certify general education requirements for transfer. Credits from international Transcripts granted at Cerritos College will not be used to certify general education requirements for transfer. Students may elect to fulfill the general education requirements by following the Cerritos College pattern or the pattern specified by the State University of their choice. Students in all major fields of study must complete the same pattern of general education requirements. it is strongly recommended that students complete as many units of these requirements as possible during their freshman and sophomore years at Cerritos College so that they can concentrate on major specialization in the upper division. in general, four-year colleges accept at full unit value approved transfer courses completed with satisfactory grades in the public Community Colleges of the state.however,in most instances a maximum of 70 community college semester units (105 quarter units) can be transferred for credit toward a degree at the senior institution.

Many of the university admissions advisors are available for appointments through the Transfer Center. CalIfornIa residents There are three ways in which you can meet the University s minimum admission requirements for transfer students. These requirements are described below. Please note that even though options 1 and 2 are possible, the number of University of California campuses actually accepting students with these two options is very limited. *residency Status: The requirements for bonafide California residents also apply to dependents of University of California graduates and employees. The manner in which legal residence is defined for tuition purposes is different. if you have questions about your residency status, contact the Admissions or registrar s office at the campus you wish to attend. 1. if you were eligible for admission to the University when you graduated from high school meaning you satisfied the Subject,* Scholarship, and examination requirements you are eligible to transfer if you have a C (2.0) average in your transferable college coursework. 2. if you met the Scholarship requirement, but did not satisfy the Subject requirement,* you must take transferable courses in the subjects you are missing to be eligible to transfer. You will need to earn a grade of C or higher in each of these required courses, and an overall C (2.0) average in all UC transferable college coursework. if you completed less than 18 quarter or 12 semester units of UC transferable college coursework, you must satisfy the examination requirement for freshman applicants. 3. if you were not eligible for admission to the University when you graduated from high school because you did not meet the Scholarship requirement, or you did not meet the Scholarship requirement and did not complete all the required a-f subjects,* you must: a.

59 Cerritos College Catalog Intersegmental general education transfer Curriculum The intersegmental Committee of the Academic Senates approved the intersegmental General education Transfer Curriculum (igetc) which was implemented Fall The igetc is a series of courses that community college students can use to satisfy lower division general education requirements at any CSU or UC campus. The igetc is intended to facilitate course planning and should appeal to students who want to keep their options open before making a final decision about transferring to a particular segment or campus. The igetc will provide an option to the California State University General education requirements. for students transferring to a uc CamPus in general, it is not advisable for transfers to engineering majors at any UC campus to use the igetc. The igetc option may also be inappropriate for transfers entering high unit majors such as those in the sciences having substantial lower division science and math prerequisites. it may be more appropriate to take courses that are a part of the general education or breadth requirements for the school or college on the UC campus to which a transfer is planned. for students transferring to a Csu CamPus it is important to note that igetc is an option for CSU bound students. igetc requirements may be followed by both continuing and new students who plan to transfer to a California State University campus. The intersegmental General education Transfer Curriculum will permit a student to transfer from a California community college to a campus in either the California State University or the University of California system without the need,after transfer,to take additional lowerdivision, general education courses to satisfy campus G.e. requirements. Completion of the igetc is not a requirement for transfer to a CSU or UC, nor is it the only way to fulfill the lower-division, general education requirements of the CSU or UC prior to transfer. Students may find it advantageous to take courses fulfilling CSU s general education requirements or those of a particular UC campus. The course requirements for ALL areas must be completed Prior to transferring to the CSU or UC in order for the igetc to be certified. However, beginning Fall 2000 a student may be partially certified if they are missing no more than 2 courses. See your counselor to determine eligibility for partial certification. All courses must be completed with a grade of C or higher. A student who has completed igetc may have an official certification sent to a four-year institution upon written request by the student through the office of Admissions, records and Services.

A doctorate is recommended for full professional status as an anthropologist, although work in museums, physical anthropology labs, and field archaeology is often possible with a master s degree. Cultural and linguistic anthropologists work in federal, state and local government, international agencies, healthcare centers, nonprofit associations, research institutes and marketing firms as research directors, science analysts and program officers. Biological anthropologists work in biomedical research, human engineering, private genetics laboratories, and pharmaceutical firms. Archaeologists work off campus in environmental projects, human-impact assessment, and resource management. At present there is no discernible limit for Ph.D. anthropologists targeting the nonacademic realm for employment. The global economy s focus on internationalism, information and research and anthropology s world of interests mesh. Today, half of new doctorates find professional jobs off campus.

See Cerritos College Graduation requirements. nursing The Cerritos College Nursing Program, approved by the Board of registered Nursing and accredited by the National League for Nursing accredited Commission, inc., offers an opportunity to prepare for a nursing career through mastery of a specific body of knowledge and skills. To qualify for the program, students must successfully complete prerequisite courses and other requirements as stated below. The generic program (option A) consists of four semesters of sequenced courses. Students may receive Pass for prior nursing courses to facilitate advanced placement. These students include Licensed Psychiatric Technicians, Licensed Vocational Nurses, students transferring from other accredited programs, and foreign-educated nurses. For successful completion of the nursing program, the student is required to achieve a minimum 75% in all nursing and nursing-related courses. This is consistent with the Board of registered Nursing s standard of competency for nursing practice. Completion of the program meets qualifications for the NCLeX-rN licensing exam. mission statement The Cerritos College Nursing Program Mission is to prepare nurses to meet the needs of diverse populations in an ever changing health care environment. PhIlosoPhY Nursing is defined as a science, discipline and health care practice that focuses on the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of patients having health problems within the domain of nursing. The goals of nursing practice focus on health promotion, illness prevention, rehabilitation, and supporting the resources of the person who is ill or threatened with illness in adapting to changes within the environment. in addition to implementing the philosophy of the College, the purpose of the Nursing Program is to provide the community with registered nurses who are capable of functioning in a variety of health care settings. To accomplish this, the roy Adaptation Model has been selected as the primary conceptual framework. Within this framework, nurses identify their patients as biopsychosocial beings in constant interaction with the environment. in periods of health, individuals have both innate and learned behavioral mechanisms which enable them to 152 cope with their complex internal and external environments. in times of stress, the patient s coping mechanisms may be disrupted and the individual is defined as ill. The patient s health status is defined on a continuum from wellness to illness. Nursing practice focuses on adaptation of the patient in four major modes: physiological, self-concept, role function, and interdependence. The program prepares students to understand individuals as total beings and to recognize and respect a diversity of spiritual and cultural/ethnic values. ComPetenCIes expected of the associate degree nurse The Associate Degree Nurse (ADN) graduate is prepared and expected to practice within the framework of the educational Competencies for Graduates of Associate Degree Nursing Programs as identified by the National Council of Associate Degree Nursing Competencies Task Force in As identified by the Task Force, ADN graduates practice within the framework of eight core components and competencies. The core components of nursing practice are: professional behaviors, communication, assessment, clinical decision making, caring interventions, teaching and learning, collaboration, and managing care. These core components emphasize competencies related to diversity in healthcare, clinical decision making, assessment, patient education, continuity of care (including community aspects), collaboration and leadership. in order to meet the expected outcomes, the ADN graduate utilizes critical thinking and demonstrates clinical competence and accountability as an adaptable generalist who is committed to caring for others and valuing the profession of nursing. The Associate Degree Nurse is an entry level practitioner and is competent to practice as a direct caregiver in a variety of health care settings which include diverse patient populations. ADN graduates are employed in a health care delivery system that continues to grow and change. Consequently, ADN graduates may pursue bachelors, masters and doctoral degrees in preparation for advanced levels of practice. ConCePt of education Nursing faculty believe that nursing education is driven by the application of critical thinking and development/improvement of teaching/learning strategies using innovative approaches and evidencebased research. Nursing faculty also believe that the purpose of education is to enlighten and enhance the quality of life for the student, the community and patients for whom students and graduates provide care. education based on mastery learning is viewed by nursing faculty as a collaborative process involving college administrators and staff, nursing faculty and nursing students. each student enters the nursing program with unique characteristics, capabilities, learning styles, and motivation for learning. To address these individual differences,learning experiences are structured from simple to complex. The program embraces the diversity of cultural, linguistic, and philosophical differences represented in the student body. Course experiences are designed to encourage discussion, sharing and application of cultural practices that are unique to the individuals and groups represented in the campus and the community. The goal of the program is to promote students creative and critical thinking and personal growth based on successful learning experiences. Achievement of this goal is fostered by encouraging self-direction and by providing a variety of individual and group learning experiences. Students are expected to participate actively in the learning process. CurrICulum overview The nursing curriculum is based on the Nursing Process and the roy Adaptation Model. The Nursing Process provides the framework for the application of the roy Adaptation Model. The roy Adaptation Model

153 Curriculum and Requirements for Majors, Certificates and Transfer Programs for Nursing was adopted by the Cerritos College nursing faculty in giving behaviors, and receiving behaviors. This mode reflects a Currently, the program utilizes essential elements of the roy Model to describe our beliefs about man, the environment, health and illness; the goals of nursing care and to organize the collection of data related to the patient s health status. Cerritos College faculty use the educational Competencies for Graduates of Associate Degree Nursing Programs as identified by the National Council of Associate Degree Nursing balance between independence and dependence. Curriculum content includes management of dysfunctional dependence and dysfunctional independence as manifested through alterations in family processes, ineffective family coping, knowledge deficits, substance abuse, and related concepts. The goal of nursing as expressed in the roy Adaptation Model Competencies Task Force in 2000 as the reference to guide and structure is to promote adaptation. The nursing process begins with first curriculum development, define and level competencies within the Major requirements and identify competence expected at graduation. There are five steps to the Nursing Process: assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation and evaluation. The Cerritos College nursing student utilizes the roy Model to collect and organize patient data during the assessment stage of the Nursing Process. The roy Adaptation Model views the person as a biopsychosocial being in constant interaction with the environment. As an adaptive organism, the person copes with changes in the environment. A person s health status is defined along a health-illness continuum and may be influenced by life stages and adaptation to needs. in this model, the person is also perceived as having four adaptive modes that identify patient behavior in response to illness or wellness. Behavior is assessed in each of the four modes: the Physiologic Mode, Self-Concept Mode, role Function Mode and interdependence Mode. The latter three modes are referred to as the Psychosocial Mode. The underlying need of the Physiologic Mode is physiological level assessment in which both adaptive (effective) and maladaptive (ineffective) behavioral responses of the person are assessed in each component of each mode. Maladaptive behaviors are clustered and expressed as nursing diagnoses. A plan to treat the nursing diagnosis is developed by establishing patient outcomes which are measurable and based on patient behaviors. Nursing interventions are formulated and implemented so that the outcomes can be accomplished. evaluation of effectiveness of the plan is determined by whether the outcomes have or have not been achieved. if outcomes have not been met, reassessment occurs to determine whether outcomes and/or interventions must be modified. Graduates of Associate Degree Nursing Program exhibit behaviors that are characterized by clinical decision making, clinical competence, accountability, and a commitment to the value of caring. The Associate Degree Nurse is prepared to provide care to patients with acute and chronic health care needs and is concerned with individuals and their relationships within families, groups and communities. The nurse integrity. Components of this mode are: oxygenation, Nutrition, uses a collaborative approach in working with the patient and with elimination, Activity and rest, Protection, Senses, Fluid and electrolytes, Neurological Function, and endocrine Function. The first five components are identified as basic needs inherent in achieving physiological integrity. The remaining four are considered complex processes which mediate activities regulating the organism s function. The curriculum addresses normal (adaptive/effective) and abnormal (maladaptive/ineffective) behaviors in each of these Physiologic Mode components, including wellness and disease prevention elements along other health care providers. To develop the cognitive, psychomotor and affective abilities necessary to function as a competent caregiver, the nursing student gains knowledge in nursing concepts, principles, processes, and skills. To support acquisition of this knowledge, the Cerritos College curriculum includes understanding of health, acute and chronic health deviations, nutrition, pharmacology, communication, human development, teaching-learning principles, current technology, humanities, and biological, social and behavioral sciences. Anatomy, with disease processes. For each disease or condition, instruction physiology, microbiology, and english are prerequisite to the core includes pathophysiology and the application of the nursing process: assessment; nursing diagnoses; planning and goal-setting; medical, surgical and nursing interventions; and expected outcomes (evaluation). The Self-Concept Mode, which aims to maintain psychic integrity, consists of the Physical Self and the Personal Self. The Physical Self includes body sensation and body image. The Personal Self includes selfconsistency, nursing courses. To meet graduation requirements, students may concurrently study pharmacology, communication, fine arts and humanities courses. The graduate of an Associate Degree program plays a significant role in management of patient care. Managing care is characterized by planning, implementing, organizing, coordinating, delegating and self-ideal/self-expectancy, and the moral-ethical-spiritual facilitating the continuity of patient care. The Cerritos College self. Self esteem is a pervasive aspect of the Personal Self and relates to the worth or value a person holds related to the self. Concepts related to grief and loss, anxiety and depression are among those addressed in the curriculum content. The role Function Mode has three components: Primary role, Secondary roles and Tertiary roles. The underlying need for this mode is social integrity. The Primary role is an ascribed role based on age, gender, ethnicity and developmental age; it determines the majority of a person s role behaviors. The Secondary role component encompasses the roles that a person assumes to complete tasks associated with developmental stage and primary role. Tertiary roles are chosen by the person, usually temporary, and often associated with accomplishment of minor tasks in a person s current development. role performance includes instrumental and expressive behaviors. Curriculum concepts related to this mode include alterations in role function and role performance. The interdependence Mode is a social construct related to giving and receiving of love, respect and value. The underlying need of this mode is to attain and maintain affectional adequacy. Key concepts associated with this mode include: significant others, support systems, curriculum introduces the management of care role in the first semester. in the first semester of the program, the student begins the management of care of one patient. in the second through fourth semesters, the number of patients is progressively increased. in the final semester of the program, students manage care for a team of patients under the supervision of a staff mentor. in addition, the management of patient care includes developing skills in delegation, communication, leadership, and time and resource management. Concepts related to the scope of practice of various licensed and unlicensed caregivers, are included in the curriculum. The graduate of an Associate Degree nursing program adheres to standards of professional practice, is accountable for her/his own actions and behaviors, and practices within ethical, legal, and regulatory frameworks of nursing. The nurse practices within the legal and ethical framework of nursing and contributes to maintaining high standards of nursing practice. Professional behaviors include the concern for others that is demonstrated by caring, valuing the profession of nursing, and participating in ongoing professional development. Curriculum content includes legal rules and regulations affecting nursing practice; institutional guidelines and requirements affecting the student nurse; 153

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES: Job prospects are expected to be good for persons who enter the practice of chiropractic. employment of chiropractors is expected to grow faster than the average for all occupations, through the year 2016 as consumer demand for alternative healthcare grows. The rapidly expanding older population, with their increased likelihood of mechanical and structural problems, also will increase demand. Demand for chiropractic treatment is also related to the ability of patients to pay, either directly or through health insurance. in this occupation, replacement needs arise almost entirely from retirements. Chiropractors usually remain in the occupation until they retire; few transfer to other occupations. establishing a new practice will be easiest in areas with a low concentration of chiropractors.

174 Curriculum and Requirements for Majors, Certificates and Transfer Programs achievement in a college program and performance in the Dental Admissions Test (DAT). The DAT measures general academic ability, reading comprehension, vocabulary, analytical thinking, comprehensive scientific information and perceptual ability. Because most of the applicants being admitted to dental schools possess a bachelor s degree, students are advised to integrate the dental school requirements into a program that will lead to a bachelor s degree in a major of their choice. However, there are Dental Schools which consider 90 semester units (60 units lower division and 30 units of upper division coursework) with a very competitive grade point average (GPA) as the minimum requirement for admission.

ADDITIONAL SCIENCES: it is strongly suggested that students take additional science courses at the university, such as Anatomy/ Physiology/Human Biology, Biochemistry, Botany, Cellular Biology, Comparative Anatomy, embryology, Genetics, Histology, Microbiology, and Molecular Biology. Some of these courses may be considered additional requirements or elective coursework. MATHEMATICS: The mathematics requirement beyond trigonometry will be determined by the major course of study the student elects to pursue. RECOMMENDED COURSEWORK: Lower division courses that may be taken are College Algebra/Calculus/Statistics, Business Management, Accounting/economics, Technical Writing, Speech, Sociology/Anthropology, Foreign Language and Ceramics/Sculpture.

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES: Dentists diagnose and treat problems with teeth and tissues in the mouth, along with giving advice and administering care to help prevent future problems. Most dentists are general practitioners, handling a variety of dental needs. other dentists practice in any of nine specialty areas. orthodontist, the largest group of specialists, prevents or corrects irregularities of the teeth. The next largest group, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, operates on the mouth and jaws. The remainder may specialize as pediatric dentists (focusing on dentistry for children); periodontists (treating gums and bone supporting the teeth); prosthodontists (replacing missing teeth with permanent fixtures, such as crowns and bridges, or with removable fixtures such as dentures); endodontists (performing root canal therapy); public health dentists (promoting good dental health and preventing dental diseases within the community); oral pathologists (studying oral diseases); or oral and maxillofacial radiologists (diagnosing diseases in the head and neck through the use of imaging technologies). employment of dentists is projected to grow about as fast as the average through Although employment growth will provide some job opportunities, most jobs will result from the need to replace the large number of dentists projected to retire. Median annual earnings of salaried dentists were $144,000 in earnings vary according to number of years in practice, location, hours worked, and specialty. Selfemployed dentists in private practice tend to earn more than do salaried dentists, and a relatively large proportion of dentists are self-employed. See Cerritos College Graduation requirements.

Admission to medical school is highly competitive. Admittance is usually based primarily on the candidate s academic achievement in a college program and performance on the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT). educational philosophies and goals, specific undergraduate course requirements, academic commitment beyond 174

175 Curriculum and Requirements for Majors, Certificates and Transfer Programs required course work, honors, extracurricular activities, leadership, application, essay, research, clinical experience, community service, volunteerism, and other qualifications for admission vary among the nation s medical schools. However, they all stress the importance of a strong foundation in the natural sciences (biology, chemistry and physics.), highly developed competence in english communication skills, both written and spoken; capacity for quantitative thinking, represented by mastery of mathematics, and the scientific method; a foundation for an ever-increasing insight into human behavior, thought and aspiration, through study of man and his society, as revealed by a breadth of social sciences, fine arts and humanities. Knowledge of a modern foreign language, specifically Spanish is strongly recommended. Computer literacy is now very necessary for almost all medical schools. Many schools recommend computer science courses and require entering students to have a computer. Medical schools do not require you to major in a particular field. it is possible to major in any one of a large number of disciplines, integrating the course requirements for medical school. in choosing an undergraduate major the student should give careful consideration to select a major area of study that interests them and that will provide a foundation necessary for the pursuit of an alternative career, if necessary. Pre-Med is not a major at the University for an Undergraduate Degree. While many successful applicants major in one of the natural sciences, a science major is NoT required for admission to medical school.

MATHEMATICS: : Trends in medical education require the medical student to be adequately trained in mathematics. Almost all schools recommend one year of mathematics. Since calculus is recommended in several medical schools, and in some instances required, it is advantageous to complete one year of calculus or at least one semester of calculus. The second semester course may be math statistics or computer science, depending on the specific medical school requirement. Your undergraduate major will help further define your choice of mathematics requirements. 175 ELECTIVES: Addditional science course work in biochemistry, cellular biology, genetics, molecular biology, quantitative analysis chemistry and upper division biological science courses is considered part of the academic commitment beyond the minimum required course work. Spanish is strongly recommended and computer literacy is mandatory. For more information concerning the above listed requirements at individual schools look up the specific medical school website.

THe requirements For MeDiCAL SCHooL Are SUBJeCT To CHANGe WiTHoUT NoTiCe. CAREER OPPORTUNITIES: employment of physicians and surgeons will grow faster than the average for all occupations through the year 2016 due to the continued expansion of health career industries. The growing and aging population will drive overall growth in the demand for physician services. Future physicians may be more likely to work fewer hours, retire earlier, have lower earnings, or need to practice in under-served areas. opportunities should be very good in rural and low-income areas,because some physicians find these areas unattractive due to lower earnings potential. Unlike their predecessors, newly trained physicians face radically different choices of where and how to practice.

176 Curriculum and Requirements for Majors, Certificates and Transfer Programs New physicians are much less likely to enter solo practice and more likely to take salaried jobs in group medical practices, clinics and integrated healthcare systems.

Admission to school of optometry offering the Doctor of optometry is very competitive. Because admission has become increasingly more difficult, having completed the equivalent of a bachelor s degree is now imperative for the two California Schools of optometry. The bachelor s degree may be in any major of the student s choice.besides the bachelor s degree being important, college grades (GPA) and the optometry Admission Test (oat) scores are used in preliminary screening. The oat which has traditionally been administered in october and February is usually taken in the fall of the junior year. it is now being offered as a computerized test at Prometric Testing Centers. The oat evaluates the followingknowledge:biology,chemistry,organicchemistry,mathematical ability, physics, writing and reading comprehension. The test bulletin describes the test in detail, application procedures, and test dates. A copy of this bulletin can be obtained by writing to the optometry Admission Testing Program, 211 e. Chicago Ave., Chicago, il ; Telephone ; Finally,a volunteer experience with an optometrist is highly appropriate in the preparation for optometry school. First, as a prospective optometry professional, you gain valuable insight into your decision whether optometry is the career path for you. Second, you develop the opportunity to receive a letter of support from an optometry professional, a vital element of your application.

They may practice in specialties areas such as binocular disorders, contact lenses, low vision, ocular disease, geriatrics, pediatrics, or refractive surgery. They prescribe treatment such as corrective lenses, contact lenses, laser procedures or vision therapy. They may practice as independent practitioners, in a group practice, a health clinic or hospital. Job opportunities for the employment of optometrists are expected to grow faster than the average in California and average nationally for all occupations through retirement of older practitioners is expected to create job opportunities. The age structure of the population is a factor affecting demand. People over 45 visit an optometrist more frequently. other factors include rising incomes and greater recognition of the importance of vision care. employment of optometrists would grow more rapidly were it not for anticipated productivity gains that will allow each optometrist to see more patients. These expected gains stem from greater use of optometry assistants and other support personnel, who will reduce the amount of time optometrists need with each patient. Also, new surgical procedures using lasers are available that can correct some visions problems, and although optometrists still will be needed to provide preoperative and postoperative care for laser surgery patients, patients who successfully undergo this surgery may not require optometrists to prescribe glasses or contacts for several years. According to eureka, median net annual income for all optometrists was $105,000 in See Cerritos College Graduation requirements. See State University General education List.

However, students could fulfill requirements for a Natural Sciences Degree by completing 18 units of science and math coursework to include a minimum of 2 Biological Sciences, 2 Physical Sciences and a math course beyond intermediate Algebra. Veterinary medicine is the broadest and most comprehensive of all the health professions. Academic preparation for veterinary school takes place at the undergraduate level, consisting of both lower division AND upper division coursework with a special emphasis in the sciences. in order to succeed academically, in the rigorous veterinary school curriculum, veterinary schools are looking for individuals with a highly developed science background. The more competitive veterinary schools are looking for grade point averages in the range of GPA. Many, but not all veterinary schools require a bachelor s degree. in most instances, a bachelor s degree makes an applicant more competitive in the admission process. Most veterinary schools require a standardized graduate admissions test (e.g. Gre, MCAT, and VCAT). extracurricular activities such as community activities, motivation, and leadership are essential. Animal related activities and/or animal related work experience is mandatory. Most colleges are looking for a strong demonstrated commitment to working with animals. Some schools actually require employment by a Veterinarian. Many veterinary schools require that you apply through the Veterinary Medical Colleges Application Service (VCMAS).

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES: employment of veterinarians is expected to increase faster than average through the year Despite this average growth, good job opportunities are expected because the 28 USA schools of veterinary medicine, of which only 2 are in California, even at full capacity, result in a limited number of graduates each year. For the most part veterinarians tend to practice in animal hospitals or clinics and care primarily for companion animals. The majority of veterinarians in the United States seek a private practice. other veterinarians work in a wide range of fields relating to public health, animal disease control, environmental protection, the biotechnology industry, higher education or research. New graduates continue to be attracted to small-animal medicine because they prefer to deal with pets and to live and work near heavily populated areas. Beginning private practice veterinarians may take positions requiring evening or weekend work to accommodate the extended hours of operation that many practices are offering. Some veterinarians take salaried positions in retail stores offering veterinary services. Self-employed veterinarians usually have to work hard and long to build a sufficient client base. Job prospects may be better for veterinarians who specialize in farm animals than for small animal practitioners because of low earnings in the companion pets and because many veterinarians do not want to work in rural or isolated areas. The number of jobs for large-animal veterinarians is likely to grow more slowly than that for veterinarians in private practice that cares for companion animals. Nevertheless, job prospects may be better for veterinarians who specialize in farm animals than for companion-animal practitioners because of low earnings in the former specialty and because many veterinarians do not want to work in rural or isolated areas. Veterinarians with training in food safety, animal health and welfare, and public health and epidemiology should have the best opportunities for a career in the Federal Government. According to a survey by the American Veterinary Medical Association, average-starting salaries of veterinary medical college graduates ranged from $40,130 $61,029. The salary ranged in 2006 from $56,450 to $94,880. The median annual earnings of veterinarians was $71,990. The average annual salary for experienced veterinarians in the Federal Government in non-supervisory and managerial positions was $84,335 in See Cerritos College Graduation requirements.

189 Curriculum and Requirements for Majors, Certificates and Transfer Programs Completion of the courses recommended below will partially satisfy requirements for the Liberal Studies elementary school teaching option offered at the indicated CSU s and UCr. The courses are part of a curriculum that can be started at a community college and completed at the CSU or UCr. The entire curriculum is designed for individuals who seek the pre-professional subject matter preparation for elementary school teaching consistent with the standards established by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing. According to California law, any major can be selected to partially satisfy elementary school teacher preparation requirements. A Liberal Studies major however, is recommended because it provides the best preparation for future elementary school teachers. At most universities, the Liberal Studies major incorporates professional and subject matter content included in the California Teaching Standards for elementary school instruction. With the enactment of the No Child Left Behind federal regulations, school districts are requiring a passing score on the California Subject examination for Teachers (CSeT) for all new teachers. it is recommended that students take the CSeT after transfer, per the advice of university department or credential advisors. The CSeT is administered by the National evaluation System, inc. it is a five-hour test consisting of three separate subtests, each containing both multiplechoice and essay questions. Subtest i measures knowledge in reading, language and literature, history and social science; Subtest ii covers science and mathematics; and Subtest iii includes physical education, human development, visual and performing arts. once a subtest has been passed, it does not have to be taken again, as long as the score is used toward certification within five years of the testing date. For further information, visit the CSeT Web site at Students who wish to choose an academic major other than Liberal Studies in order to prepare for elementary school teaching should schedule an appointment with a counselor. Students who choose a liberal studies major in order to benefit from a broad interdisciplinary liberal arts education and do not wish to pursue elementary school teaching should see a Cerritos College counselor for advisement. requirements may vary from those listed below. An Associate in Arts Degree in liberal studies is not available at Cerritos College. CBest it is recommended that students seeking a teaching credential take the CBeST (California Basic educational Skills Test) the semester before transferring to a university. The CBeST is an entrance requirement for most university credential programs. The CBeST verifies proficiency in reading, mathematics, and writing. Passing the CBeST is a requirement for obtaining a teaching credential issued by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing and is required prior to student teaching.
