History
In 1881, young Matthew H. Davis left his chairmanship in the mathematics department and his position as director of the business department at Albert College, Belleville, Ontario, to accept the management of Toledo Business College. The small school of 35 students, which had been established in 1858, rapidly grew to 350 students.
During the 23 years Davis directed the school, four other schools were absorbed, and the name was changed to Davis Business College. The curriculum was gradually changed from Latin, German, Greek, calculus, and epistolary writing to banking, mercantile trades, shorthand, and typing. After Davis’ death in 1904, his son, Thurber P. Davis, left the University of Michigan to take over the management of Davis Business College. For the next 44 years, he managed the school. When Thurber P. became ill, his daughter, Ruth L. Davis, became the third generation of the Davis family to lead the school. Soon after she assumed active management in May 1948, the school was incorporated. In 1953 Davis Business College was among the first to be accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Business Schools. In 1964 it met commission requirements for a junior college of business. In January 1983, Mr. John Lambert became President of Davis College. Mr. Lambert expanded the Davis curriculum to include Allied Health, Computer, and Graphic Design programs, which doubled the College’s enrollment. In 1986 Davis met the requirements for accreditation by the American Association of Medical Assistants. In 1991 Davis College was granted accreditation by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association. In January 1993, Ms. Diane Brunner became the fifth President of Davis College as Mr. Lambert was named President Emeritus. Ms. Brunner joined Davis College in 1984 and enthusiastically believes in the college’s mission. As true of all past Davis leadership, Ms. Brunner is dedicated to the promotion of higher educational standards and continuing the College’s service to the community.

General Information
are eligible to apply for admission. Formal acceptance to Davis College will be determined once verification of successful completion of high school or GED requirements has been obtained. GED Testing If you desire to attend Davis College but need your GED, GED testing is available through the Adult Basic Education program at Washington Local Schools. Please call admissions for more information. Transfer to Davis College Students seeking credit for work completed at other colleges will need to request that official transcripts from each college attended be mailed directly from that college to Davis College. The student is responsible for requesting this official transcript; it is highly recommended that the transcript be received before the first quarter of attendance begins. Transcripts from other institutions become part of the student’s permanent academic file and cannot be copied for distribution.
004•005
The Registrar will evaluate each transcript and determine the total number of credit hours which may be transferred. The Registrar may elect to accept general education courses which are not offered by Davis. The maximum number of credit hours transferred cannot exceed 50% of the total credit hours required in the program or 50% of the hours required in the major. At least one half of the credit hours required for an associate degree or diploma are required to be earned at Davis. In addition, the final 12 credit hours are required to be earned at Davis College. Additional information concerning this policy is available from the Registrar. Transferred credits will be counted as earned hours only and will not be calculated in the student’s grade point average. Students with previous training or experience may be granted advanced standing upon proof of ability. Transfer Policy for Regionally Accredited Schools Credits earned at regionally accredited institutions are honored provided they are included in the Davis program for which the student has enrolled and a minimum grade of “C” has been received. • Credit may be awarded as course equivalent credit • Credit for coursework which has no Davis College equivalent may be awarded as elective credit with a XXX000 course number (e.g., HUM000, Humanities elective)
• Coursework in the major technology (technical areas) may be subject to validation by department faculty Transfer Policy for Non-Regionally Accredited Schools Transfers from technical colleges, business colleges, and other schools lacking regional accreditation but having accreditation by another agency recognized by the Department of Education are evaluated as follows: 1. The student is required to earn grades in 12 credit hours at Davis College with a GPA of 2.00 before credits can be transferred. 2. Credits may be accepted only upon the recommendation of the specific department in which the course work is offered. 3. Before credit is awarded, previous course work may be subject to validation by the department. Transferability of Credit The acceptability of credits by other institutions is solely the decision of the accepting institution. However, the College does maintain articulation agreements with several local colleges in the Toledo area. Most importantly, as an institution accredited by The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, other regionally accredited schools will evaluate Davis College credits. Davis College makes no representations as to the acceptability of Davis College credits at other institutions. Tuition and Fees Tuition and fee charges are due and payable on or before the first day of each new quarter. See the Catalog Supplement for complete description of fees. Tuition and fees are subject to change without notice. Students pay the same tuition and fees regardless of the state in which they reside.

Department of Design Mission Statement and Purposes In accordance with the mission of Davis College, the Chairperson and faculty of the Design Department view our commitment as follows: • To prepare students for professional practice by integrating the content areas of design production, design history, design criticism, and design aesthetics. We believe that to teach students to become responsive and responsible designers in contemporary society design production alone is insufficient. Therefore, a discipline-based pedagogy is embraced by the Department. • To provide instruction that promotes creativity, critical thinking, and problem solving and analysis. Understanding the nature of any design problem and developing a creative and appropriate solution is prerequisite to implementing any technical application. • To provide instruction that meets the technical skill level required for positions in design. Technologies in design continue to change at a rapid pace. We are committed to providing the student with relevant training that utilizes appropriate technology and equipment. • To promote the students, programs, and curricula of the Design Department. The success of our programs lies in our ability to inform the public of the Design Department programs and the qualified students who are graduating each year. We are constantly searching for opportunities to promote the Design Department and Davis College. The Department Chairperson and faculty are committed to the pursuit of professional development opportunities to become better informed and more competent professionals and instructors. Mid-Program and Final Assessment Review A student enrolled in a Graphic Design, Interactive Media, or Interior Design program will participate in a portfolio review and interview upon completion of the foundation courses and upon completion of the advanced level (200) courses to satisfy program requirements for graduation. The first Portfolio Review is intended to assess the student’s conceptual and technical abilities from the foundation area.
The purpose of the review and interview is to ensure that the student possesses the necessary conceptual and technical skills before taking the advanced level (200) courses. A second Portfolio Review near the end of the program is intended to ensure that the student possesses the necessary skills for design positions and that the entire body of work is acceptable for job interviewing purposes. A portfolio of 10-15 works should be submitted at each Portfolio Review. The work submitted at the second Portfolio Review should be representative of the student’s career direction (i.e., graphic design, interactive media, or interior design.) The following criteria will be used by the Committee to determine successful completion of each Portfolio Review. 1. The work will demonstrate an acceptable level of competence. 2. The student will be able to discuss his or her work in terms of form, content, intent, and use of materials. 3. The student will have achieved a “B” average in the Design Department courses. If the student does not meet the criteria for successful portfolio review, the following recommendations may be made by the Committee: 1. The student may redo specific projects where conceptual and formal requirements and/or technical ability were determined unacceptable. 2. The student may retake specific courses where conceptual and formal requirements and/or technical ability were determined unacceptable. 3. The student may be advised to seek a major outside of the Design area but may still minor in the Design area. (This recommendation is only applicable when assessing Foundation Area abilities.) The Portfolio Review Committee will be composed of the Department Chairperson, an instructor from the major area declared by the student, and an instructor outside the major area but in the Design Department.
