Associate Degree Transfer Programs

Transcription

1 Associate Degree Transfer Programs CLC s associate degree transfer programs allow students to transfer to schools throughout Illinois and across the United States. In general, reports from state universities indicate that CLC transfer students generally perform as well as, or better than, students who begin their studies at four-year schools. Moreover, a five-year longitudinal study of students transferring from two-year colleges to four-year colleges and universities in Illinois revealed that students who transferred with an or Associate in Science degree earn higher grade point averages and have higher completion rates than students who transfer without a degree. Almost 70 percent of the A.A./A.S. degree students had graduated or were still enrolled at the end of the study with an average GPA of The College of Lake County successfully prepares students for higher level college courses. Students enjoy their programs at CLC and successfully transfer credits to four-year schools. This is especially true for students who earn an associate transfer degree. CLC offers an, in Teaching, Associate in Science, Associate in Engineering Science and Associate in Fine Arts degrees to individuals interested in pursuing a baccalaureate degree at a senior college or university. The degree a student chooses to pursue at CLC should be based on the student s proposed major at the intended transfer institution. To ensure full transferability of coursework, students should work with an advising professional who will assist with verifying degree requirements for the specific senior college or university of the student s choice. Transfer Resources and Transferability of CLC Courses The Illinois Articulation Initiative IAI This initiative is limited to students who are first time college students since The College of Lake County is a participant in the Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI), a statewide transfer agreement which is transferable among more than 100 participating colleges or universities in Illinois. The IAI establishes a package of lower-division general education coursework accepted at all participating schools. This package is known as the Illinois Articulation Initiative General Education Core Curriculum (IAI GECC). Completion of the IAI GECC assures transferring students that lower-division general education requirements for a bachelor's degree have been satisfied at any participating institution. Note: Students may have to meet institutionwide, mission-related, or particular major general education requirements after transfer. Students who do not complete the IAI GECC before transfer and have less than 30 transferable semester credits need to complete the general education requirements of the transfer institution; completed CLC courses will be evaluated on a course by course basis. Students who do not complete the IAI GECC and have at least 30 transferable semester credits and who transfer to an IAI participating institution have the option of completing either the IAI GECC at the transfer institution or the institution's lower-division general education requirements, which may differ from the IAI GECC. A list of IAI participating colleges and universities can be found on the itransfer website: The IAI GECC consists of 12 to 13 courses (37 41 semester credits) chosen from the following five categories: Communications, Social/Behavioral Sciences, Physical/Life Sciences, Mathematics, and Humanities/Fine Arts. Specifically, the GECC requires: Communications: 3 courses (9 credit hours); must include a two-course sequence in writing completed with grades of C or better and one course in oral communication. Social and Behavioral Science: 3 courses (9 credit hours); a maximum of two courses from one discipline; at least one course must come from a second discipline. Physical and Life Science: 2 courses (7 credit hours); one course must be selected from Physical Science and one course from Life Science; at least one course must be a laboratory science course. Mathematics: 1 course (3 credit hours) Humanities and Fine Arts: 3 courses (9 credit hours); one course must be from Humanities, one course must be from Fine Arts, and one course from either discipline. See a complete list of IAI courses offered by the College of Lake County on pages The and the in Teaching Secondary Mathematics degrees contain the IAI GECC. Students who complete the IAI GECC and the CLC A.A. or A.A.T.-Math will be considered having achieved junior status upon transfer to a participating four year college or university. The IAI also includes major recommendations for the first two years of college. IAI major recommendations work best for students who have chosen their majors but are undecided on the college or university they plan to transfer to. Courses should be selected in consultation with a CLC advising professional College of Lake County Catalog

2 In order for a student s transcript to indicate the completion of the IAI GECC, students must submit an Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI) Audit Request form to the Registrar and Records department to audit their transcript. Once completion of the IAI GECC is verified, it will be noted on the transcript. Students should contact an advising professional in the Counseling, Advising and Transfer Center to review their records and complete the form. Note: Effective beginning the academic year, the Illinois Community College Board approved changes to the Associate in Science (A.S.) degree model which reduces the number of required credits in the general education core curriculum. As such, the A.S. degree no longer includes the IAI GECC package: A.S. degree completers may complete the IAI GECC upon transfer to an IAI participating institution or may select appropriate elective coursework within the A.S. to complete the IAI GECC at CLC. Guidance from a CLC advising professional is strongly recommended. Transfer Credit Guarantee The College of Lake County guarantees to its transfer students that course credits from the A.A., A.S., A.E.S. and A.F.A. degrees will transfer to the Illinois public colleges and universities that participate in the Illinois Articulation Initiative. The guarantee of transfer credit is limited by the following conditions: 1. The student must complete the A.A., A.S., A.E.S., or A.F.A. degree at the College of Lake County within three years of his or her initial enrollment at the College of Lake County. 2. This guarantee applies only to courses taken at the College of Lake County. 3. The student must have earned a grade of C or better in the course in question. 4. The guarantee applies only to courses included in a written transfer/articulation plan, which must be on file with the Transfer Coordinator. 5. A request for additional course work must be received by the College of Lake County no later than two years after the student has graduated. 6. The student must invoke the terms of the guarantee of transfer within 60 days of any notification that the course credit has been declined or refused by the transfer institution. Requests should be directed to the transfer coordinator and must contain documentation that one or more of the courses included in the written transfer/articulation plan did not transfer. The request must specify the name, position, address and telephone number of the person or office denying the transfer of credit, the date that the denial was received and the reasons, if any, for the denial. 7. CLC is not responsible for books, additional course fees tools, activity fees or any other course-related expenses. Transfer Partnerships: Guaranteed Transfer Admission, Dual Admission and Articulation Agreements The College of Lake County has guaranteed transfer admission agreements that allow eligible CLC students guaranteed admission to transfer colleges and universities to complete their Bachelor s degree. Agreements offer a direct pathway from CLC to partner institutions upon meeting the requirements outlined in the agreement. Dual admission is a partnership between CLC and a transfer institution that offers special benefits to participants, such as dual advising, and may include tuition discounts and scholarship opportunities. Articulation agreements represent formal agreements that allow a student to apply credits earned in a specific program at CLC toward advanced standing, equal transfer, guaranteed admission and/or direct entry into a specific program at the four-year institution. For more information about guaranteed transfer admission, dual admission, and articulation agreements contact the Counseling, Advising and Transfer Center at (847) To view partner colleges and universities visit Transfer Guides Transfer Guides are created and maintained in partnership with transfer institutions to provide information about general and major-specific transfer courses. Transfer guides offer course recommendations and outline how CLC courses will transfer into specific transfer institutions. Many four year institutions also maintain course equivalency tables that show how CLC courses articulate into their program. To view transfer guides by major and by college, and links to equivalency tables at various colleges and universities, please visit College of Lake County Catalog 51

3 Transferology and MyCreditsTransfer MyCreditsTransfer is a statewide initiative designed to facilitate transfer within Illinois using the nationally available web-based tool, Transferology. Within Transferology students can find out how courses transfer between institutions and how courses satisfy degree requirements at participating Transferology institutions across the nation. For more information about Transferology, contact the Counseling, Advising and Transfer Center or visit: Illinois Transfer Compact Agreement: Transfer of Completed Associate Degrees The Illinois Board of Higher Education view the public community colleges of Illinois as partners with senior colleges and universities in the delivery of the first two years of education beyond high school in this state. A transfer student in good standing, who has completed an associate degree based on baccalaureate-oriented sequences will be considered (a) to have attained junior standing and (b) to have met lower division general education requirements of senior institutions. Students may have to meet institution-wide, mission-related, or particular major general education requirements after transfer. The following Illinois public universities honor the agreement: Chicago State University Eastern Illinois University Governors State University Illinois State University Northeastern Illinois University Northern Illinois University Southern Illinois University University of Illinois at Springfield Western Illinois University College Requirements for Associate Degrees that Transfer Students must meet the following general requirements for Associate degrees that transfer: A. Satisfactory completion of the maximum number of credit hours for the respective degree (A.A.; A.S.; A.E.S.; A.A.T. in Secondary Math and A.F.A. in Art or Music); B. Completion of at least 15 credit hours at CLC. This does not include credit earned through prior learning such as proficiency examinations or credential review. C. Minimum grade point average of 2.00 (C) for all work completed at CLC; D. A grade of C or better is required for all English course requirements; E. Satisfactory completion of the General Education Requirements for the appropriate degree. Special Notations for Associate Degree Requirements A. General Education Requirements must be filled with courses with a 1.1 (transfer course) PCS code. An exception of up to six hours of courses with a 1.2 (career course) PCS code may be used as general electives in the degree; however, students should select these courses only after they have verified their transferability with an advisor or their transfer institution. EDU 999 does not count toward this six-hour limit. The PCS code for each course is listed in the course descriptions starting on page 232 of this catalog. B. The course taken to fulfill the International/Multicultural Education requirement is not an additional course requirement; it will count toward the Humanities and Fine Arts or the Social and Behavioral Science general education elective. C. Except for the International/Multicultural Education requirement, no course may be used to satisfy more than one general education requirement. D. Specific electives and total hours vary by degree and program. E. Only a limited number of MUS and PED courses may be used towards a degree. Please see course descriptions for courses within these areas for more information. F. The following courses cannot be used to satisfy degree requirements and do not count in the grade point average: 1. Courses with a middle digit of 0: (e.g. ENG 108, ENG 109 and MTH 101); 2. Adult Education courses with a department prefix of ABE, ADE, ESL, GED or VST; 3. General Studies courses. International/Multicultural Education Requirement (I/M) The College of Lake County requires students to complete an International/Multicultural Education requirement (I/M). One course used to fulfill a Social Science, Humanities, Fine Arts, or Elective must be selected from the list on the next page. Note: not all I/M courses are Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI) approved. Not all I/M courses fulfill diversity requirements at transfer schools College of Lake County Catalog

4 Philosophy The goal of the International/Multicultural Education requirement is to help prepare students to: 1. Foster awareness and mutual respect by seeking to understand our own and other people s cultures, characteristics, histories, conditions, social realities, issues and contributions; 2. Live effectively in an increasingly connected global community; 3. Bring informed multiple perspectives to the work force. Reflected through this requirement is the recognition that diversity is an essential and defining characteristic of our nation of the world and the conviction that this diversity can enrich all of us if we respect, value, and cultivate it. Janice R. Welsch (1999), Preface Cultural Diversity: Curriculum, Classroom, and Climate. Requirement Students pursuing transfer degrees (A.A./A.S./A.E.S./A.A.T./ A.F.A.) are required to pass an I/M course that focuses primarily on the underrepresented groups within the United States or on the culture of a society outside the United States. Courses may fulfill a core General Education requirement or elective requirement while at the same time satisfying the international/multicultural emphasis. Students should meet with a counselor/advisor or consult the catalog for appropriate courses. I/M Course Criteria Courses may be in any discipline and will seek to promote a more reasoned understanding of human diversity within the United States or within a society outside the United States. See the lists below for courses that meet the I/M Education requirement criteria. Expected Learning Outcomes Approved I/M courses must demonstrate all of the following learning outcomes. Upon successful completion of an I/M course, students will be able to: 1. Describe the significant conditions and contributions of (a) traditionally underrepresented groups within the United States or (b) of world societies; 2. Develop an informed perspective on (a) traditionally under-represented groups in the United States or (b) world societies; 3. Explore and utilize the information and ideas generated in class to compare and contrast their own background, beliefs, and values with that of others. See addendum for corrections to this section.

5 Math Placement and Prerequisites for Math Courses Depending on a student s program of study and level of skill in mathematics, he or she will take different math courses. Once a student has determined what math course(s) is/are required for the program of study, the student will need to determine if he or she meets the prerequisite or if additional coursework is required. The flow charts on the next page may help in planning. Where a student starts in the sequence will depend upon the prerequisites he or she meets and/or how he or she scores on the CLC Math Placement Test. Students should see an advisor early in their program to help plan their coursework. The important thing to remember about placement and prerequisites is that the prerequisite for each course has been developed with the sole purpose of ensuring that students have the skills they need to be successful in the courses they select. CLC has two types of requirements that affect enrollment in math courses. 1) Basic Algebra Readiness: Incoming students will need to demonstrate Basic Algebra Readiness before enrolling in certain courses at CLC. These courses may be in math or other science or technology-related fields. In the past, Basic Algebra Readiness was called Math Proficiency. Both terms mean that a student possesses a certain level of competency in arithmetic, which includes problem solving involving integers, fractions, ratios, decimals and percents. See page 390 for a list of the different ways that a student may demonstrate Basic Algebra Readiness. 2) Prerequisites: Students must also demonstrate that they meet the mathematics prerequisite for the specific course they wish to take. The best way to identify the prerequisite for a specific math course is read the course description. Course descriptions for math courses begin on page 331. Each course description includes the prerequisite requirements that apply. In general, keep these guidelines in mind: For many math courses, the prerequisite may be met all or in part by achieving an acceptable score on the math portion of the SAT or ACT tests. For many math courses, the prerequisite may be met by achieving an acceptable score on CLC s Math Placement Test. College-level math courses require Geometry Proficiency. Geometry Proficiency may be demonstrated by submitting any of the following: Submitting a high school transcript showing a C or better in one year of high school geometry or by earning a C or better in Math 1, Math 2 and Math 3 or earning a C or better in MTH 104 (Geometry) or MTH 105 (Preparatory Mathematics for General Education) or earning a Math ACT score of 22 or higher or a Math SAT score of 530 or higher on the new SAT test. The prerequisites for Contemporary Mathematics (MTH 140) and Quantitative Literacy (MTH 141) may also be met by an evaluation of a high school transcript. The prerequisites may be met by submitting a high school transcript showing completion of two years of high school algebra (Algebra I and Algebra II) and one year of high school geometry with a grade of C or better all six semesters. Previous college coursework may also fulfill prerequisites. Please see math charts on next page College of Lake County Catalog

6 Math Course Sequence by Program of Study The sequence of math courses you take depends on your program of study, and your level of skill in mathematics. The following charts can help you determine the sequence of math courses you take as well as the prerequisites required. Where you start in the sequence will be based upon prerequisites and/or your score on the CLC Math Placement Test.

9 Associate in Science (11AB) The Associate in Science degree is designed to parallel the first two years of a science-related baccalaureate degree program. Students complete freshman and sophomore level courses for majors in such areas as biology, chemistry, physics and related professional fields. Since differences in course requirements exist at different universities and in different science disciplines within the same university, it is important that students work closely with a CLC Counselor and their transfer school to choose appropriate courses. Completion of the A.S. degree does not fulfill the requirements of the Illinois Articulation Initiative General Education Core Curriculum (IAI GECC). Many science majors are highly structured and require extensive sequential lower-division mathematics and science courses. In order to take courses required for the major in a similar pattern to those of the freshman and sophomore students at a university, some general education courses are postponed until after transfer. Students then either complete the general education requirements of the transfer institution or are given the opportunity to complete the IAI.

11 Associate in Engineering Science (12AB) This program is recommended for students pursuing a B.S. in Engineering, including any of the various engineering disciplines (e.g. mechanical, electrical, civil, aeronautical, materials, agricultural, biomedical, chemical, and computer, etc.). The program parallels the first two years of engineering programs at most universities accredited by the Accrediting Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). Four year schools offering a B.S. in Engineering include the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), Northern Illinois University (NIU), University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), Illinois Tech (IIT), Bradley, Southern Illinois University (SIU), Northwestern University, Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE), Marquette, Purdue, and more. Upon completion of minimum transfer requirements (which vary by four-year school), CLC Engineering students can transfer to complete their B.S degree at a four-year college or university. This program is also appropriate for students pursuing a B.S. in Computer Science with an engineering focus. Four-year schools offering a B.S. in Computer Science with an engineering focus include University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC College of Engineering), Illinois Tech (IIT), Southern Illinois University at Carbondale (SIUC) and Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville (SIUE). Students desiring a B.A. or B.S. in Computer Science with a math or liberal arts focus may want to pursue the program of study recommended under Computer (Associate in Science) on page 80. Since minor differences in course requirements exist at different universities and in different engineering disciplines within the same university, students are strongly advised to meet with a faculty advisor from the Engineering Department or a CLC counselor, and consult the college catalog and an engineering advisor at their intended transfer institution.
