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.

2006 – 2007 Academic Year Fall Quarter Wednesday, August 23 – November 3, 2006 Winter Quarter Monday, November 13, 2006 – February 9, 2007

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.

Spring Quarter Tuesday, February 20 – May 4, 2007 Summer Quarter Monday, May 14 – July 20, 2007 2007 – 2008 Academic Year Fall Quarter Wednesday, August 22 – November 2, 2007 Winter Quarter Monday, November 12, 2007 – February 8, 2008

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.

Spring Quarter Tuesday, February 19 – May 2, 2008 Summer Quarter Monday, May 12 – July 18, 2008

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.

2008 – 2009 Academic Year Fall Quarter Wednesday, August 27 – November 7, 2008 Applying for Admissions: The Admissions Procedures 1. Schedule an appointment with an Admission Representative. The Admission Representative will assist you in your program selection, career goal setting, and other areas beneﬁcial to your success.

6. Attend new student orientation. An orientation program is held for new students prior to their ﬁrst quarter. During orientation, students will meet with various school leaders, including academic advisors, to answer questions and to ﬁnalize the enrollment process.

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.

Admissions Requirements Applicants who have completed high school graduation requirements or have successfully completed the General Education Development Test (GED) and have successfully completed the other admissions requirements of the College 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.

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.

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 and Lucas County Educational Service Center. Please call admissions for more information.

•

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:

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.

1. The student is required to earn a GPA of 2.00 in the ﬁrst 12 credit hours completed at Davis College 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.

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

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, 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.

Services Office is interested in every student’s employment success. We encourage students to utilize this beneﬁcial service.

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.

A portfolio of 10-15 works should be submitted at each Portfolio Review.
