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.

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.

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.

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.

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, it met commission requirements for a junior

General Information

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.

GED Testing

Applying for Admissions: The Admissions Procedures

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.

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.

• Credit for coursework which has no Davis

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. Transcripts from other institutions become part of the student's permanent academic file and cannot be copied for distribution.

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 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.

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, 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.

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.

General Information

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.

Tuition and Fees

Counseling

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.
