provide the educational programs, services, environment, resources, and knowledge to assure its attainment.

Davis College Mission Davis College, a private, two-year institution of higher education, serves our community by offering quality educational programs and services that meet the ever-changing demands of business. Our mission is to provide marketable skills that enhance the employability of our graduates.

History In 1881, 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.

To assure the realization of our mission, the following educational purposes, in addition to our program objectives, have been established.

General Education Core

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.

The General Education Core is an integral part of each associate degree program at Davis College. The purpose of the General Education Core is to impart common knowledge, cultivate critical thinking, and develop values needed by every educated person. To this end, the General Education Core provides a foundation for comprehensive, life-long learning and will enable a graduate to:

After Davis’ death in 1904, his son, Thurber P. Davis, left the University of Michigan to take over the management of Davis Business College. Under the leadership of the younger Davis, electric typewriters were added, making the College one of the best equipped in the United States. Stenotype and data processing augmented the expanding curriculum.

•Read and listen critically with understanding. •Write and speak clearly and effectively in standard English. •Apply critical thinking, abstract reasoning skills, and problem-solving methods. •Describe the influences of cultural diversity.

In 1948, when Thurber became ill, his daughter, Ruth L. Davis, became the third generation of the Davis family to lead the school. In 1953, Davis Business College was among the first to be accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Business Schools. In 1964, the institution met commission requirements for a junior college of business. Office management, payroll accounting, and the Automation Institute were added to meet the growing needs of business and technology.

•Locate, gather, process, and use information.

Business Core The Business Core reflects the College’s commitment to meeting the demands of the business community we serve and is an essential part of each associate degree program and promoted in all programs. The purpose of the Business Core is to develop character, teamwork, and professionalism, all 21st century skills, valued by employers. To this end, the Business Core will enable a Davis College graduate to:

In 1983, John Lambert became President of Davis College. President Lambert expanded the curriculum to include allied health, aviation, 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.

•Demonstrate professional behavior. •Interact effectively with others. •Demonstrate knowledge of the foundations, functions, and practices of business. •Utilize computer technology. •Develop effective job search skills and employment documentation.

In 1993, Diane Brunner became the fifth president of Davis College. At the time of her appointment, she was the youngest female college president in Ohio. In 2002, Davis College hosted its first student conference, bringing nationally renowned authors to the institution. In 2008, the

Fall Quarter

higher in the first 12 credit hours completed at Davis College before credits can be transferred. If the student does not meet this criterion, credits will not be transferred.

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.

•Credits may be accepted only upon the recommendation of the specific department in which the course work is offered. •Before credit is awarded, previous course work may be subject to validation by the department. Transferability of Credit

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.

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. 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.

Students with previous training or experience may be granted advanced standing upon proof of ability.

Student Body

Transfer Policy for Regionally Accredited Schools

One hundred percent are committed to learning marketable skills.

•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).

Mid-Program and End-of-Program Assessment

Mission Statement and Purposes

A student enrolled in any associate degree program in the design area will participate in a Mid-Program Assessment upon completion of the foundation courses. The assessment will consist of a portfolio review and interview to ensure that the student possesses the necessary conceptual and technical skills before taking the advanced level (200) courses.

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.

An End-of-Program Assessment, consisting of a portfolio review and interview upon completion of the advanced level (200) courses, 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.

•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.

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, interior design, motion and visual effects, or website design).

•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.

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. The following criteria will be used by the Committee to determine successful completion of each Portfolio Review:

•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 work will demonstrate an acceptable level of competence. •The student will be able to discuss his or her work in terms of form, content, intent, and use of materials.

•The Department Chairperson and faculty are committed to the pursuit of professional development opportunities to become better informed and more competent professionals and instructors.

•The student will have achieved a passing grade in all foundation courses as well as a 2.7 GPA in the Design Department courses.

If the student does not meet the criteria for successful assessment and portfolio review, the following recommendations may be made by the Committee: â&#x20AC;˘The student may redo specific projects where conceptual and formal requirements and/or technical ability were determined unacceptable. â&#x20AC;˘The student may retake specific courses where conceptual and formal requirements and/or technical ability were determined unacceptable.

Department of Design

â&#x20AC;˘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.)
