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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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 College was honored as one of Ohio’s best employers by the Ohio Chamber of Commerce. Davis College also earned the Better Business Bureau® Torch Award for marketplace ethics. As was true of all past Davis College leadership, President Brunner is dedicated to the promotion of higher educational standards and continuing the College’s service to the community.

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. 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.

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.

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.

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.

• Credit may be awarded as course equivalent 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. Students with previous training or experience may be granted advanced standing upon proof of ability.

• 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: • The student is required to earn a GPA of 2.00 or 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. • 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 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. Student Body The student population at Davis College is diverse and dynamic. Ages of students range from 18-60, and the average age of the Davis College student is 30. Students attend class on a full- or part-time basis, day and/or evening, four days a week or less (no Friday classes). Seventy-five percent of our students are working and 64% are raising children. One hundred percent are committed to learning marketable skills.

Student Services Career Services One of the outstanding benefits of the College is the career services assistance which is available to students without additional cost. The mission of the Career Services Office is to provide recent graduates support in obtaining a job after college commensurate with their academic preparation,

capabilities, and personal goals. The Career Services Office is the graduatesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; link to the business community. Assistance in resume writing, career portfolio development, job search, and networking is available to students. Although securing of positions cannot be guaranteed, every effort is made to assist students with obtaining desirable employment. The Career Services Office is interested in every studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s employment success. We encourage students to utilize this beneficial service. Counseling A professional counselor is available to our students for personal concerns. Please call Nick Nigro at 419-473-2700 at extension 143 or email at nnigro@daviscollege.edu. Additionally, your academic advisor, department chairperson, and the Vice President of Academic Affairs are available for counseling concerning academic or personal problems.

Department of

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:

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

• 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.

Mid-Program and End-of-Program Assessment 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.

• 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.

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 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.

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 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 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. 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 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: The student may redo specific projects where conceptual and formal requirements and/or technical ability were determined unacceptable. The student may retake specific courses where conceptual and formal requirements and/or technical ability were determined unacceptable. 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.)
