School of Professional Studies The School of Professional Studies offers various degree and licensure programs that prepare students for success in specific careers while providing a broad educational background for career and life enhancement. The academic programs comprise three areas of study: teacher education, technology, and public service professions. The school includes 12 academic departments and various administrative units. There are more than 250 full- and part-time faculty, administrators, and support personnel in the School of Professional Studies who are committed to helping students attain their career goals. Programs:
Aerospace Science Department Colorado is one of the nation's important aerospace centers. Military installations, major aerospace industries, increased interest in private and corporate flying and the airlines that serve Denver provide many employment opportunities. The local Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and other government offices are excellent sources of information. Because of this proximity, students have the opportunity to visit these facilities and to take courses that are taught by personnel from the various organizations. The bachelor degree programs described below have been carefully planned to meet the needs of the student and the industry. All of the technical courses have been developed in cooperation with the FAA and prospective employers. Students who have completed these courses are eligible to take a variety of FAA examinations leading to certification. The aviation management degree program prepares graduates to enter administrative positions within the various segments of the aviation industry. The program is accredited by the Council of Aviation Accreditation. Airframe and powerplant (A&P) courses are not offered by MSCD. However, students holding a valid FAA airframe and powerplant certificate from a recognized Part 147 school may apply for 25 hours of credit toward a bachelor of science degree, provided that certain validation papers are presented with the application and a comprehensive exam is passed. The department includes the World Indoor Airport (WIA), a unique flight simulation laboratory. The WIA is an integrated flight and air traffic control simulator lab with fixed base operator and flight service station services available. A crew resource management lab and student computer tutorial lab make up the other components of the WIA.
Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Science Programs The Aerospace Science Department offers baccalaureate degree programs with majors in the following areas:
These programs combine a thorough, practical, and technical training background with a general college education to prepare the graduate for a wide variety of careers in the aerospace industry. These four-year bachelor degree programs have been developed in the two-plus-two concept (a bachelor of science degree program built upon an associate of applied science two-year degree). This concept makes it easy for a community/junior college graduate in an aerospace program to transfer to MSCD and eara general college education to prepare the graduate for a wide variety of careers in the aeroded the bachelor of science degree, the student must meet the college’s general requirements for the bachelor’s degree listed in this Catalog under Requirements for All Bachelor’s Degrees. FAA-Approved Ground School MSCD’s Aerospace Science Department is a fully certified and FAA-approved ground school for the private, instrument, commercial and flight and ground instructor FAA certificates and ratings. Veterans Administration flight students should see the Aerospace Science Department chair for information on approved flight training programs. Flight Courses Flight training is arranged by the student. Students must receive permission from the Aerospace Science Department before enrolling in flight courses. The cost of flight training is in addition to regular tuition and college services fees. This cost varies depending upon how frequently the student is able to fly during the semester and how much time is required to become proficient. The college instructor helps the student achieve an understanding of the relationship of flight theory to flight practice in order to acquire the knowledge required to meet FAA certification standards. Students receiving Financial Aid assistance who are taking flight training for credit must make arrangements with the flight training schools contracted by The Metropolitan State College of Denver. Students not receiving Financial Aid assistance can obtain their FAA flight certificates from any approved FAA training program and submit the certificates in order to graduate. Because MSCD does not currently have contracts with VA-approved flight schools, students receiving VA benefits cannot receive any academic credit for the flight training courses. Credit by Examination Procedures The basic provision for obtaining credit-by-examination (a maximum of 30 semester hours of credit) is outlined in this Catalog under Academic Information. The following procedures are established by the Aerospace Science Department to implement this provision:

Army ROTC Course Credit Registration Civil Engineering Technology Program The specialized fields within civil engineering technology include programs in civil engineering technology, drafting, and surveying. The surveying program is a separate, specialized four-year program. The individual curriculum requirements are listed separately. Civil engineering technology graduates apply engineering principles in performing many of the tasks necessary for the planning and construction of highways, buildings, railroads, bridges, reservoirs, dams, irrigation works, water systems, airports, and other structures. In planning for a construction project, they may participate in estimating costs, preparing specifications for materials, and in surveying, drafting, and design work. During the construction phase, they work closely with the contractor and the superintendent in scheduling field layout, construction activities, and the inspection of the work for conformity to specifications. In recent years, a major work area for civil and environmental engineering technology has involved environmental problems. This includes design and construction of water supply facilities, design of wastewater collection and treatment facilities. The development of environmental impact studies and environmental impact statements are also included. Students must meet the following curriculum requirements for the various degrees, minors, and areas of emphasis. For every CET and SUR course, a minimum grade of "C"
is required before a student can progress. Civil Engineering Technology Major for Bachelor of Science The four-year bachelor of science degree is awarded upon completion of the required courses and a construction or structures area of emphasis. This program is accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology.

Increasingly, potential employers demand applicants who have had professional education. There is considerable interest in the criminal justice system to increase professionalism through education. The present curriculum not only provides a solid foundation in police-related areas, but also prepares students who are interested in further study in the areas of probation and parole, corrections, juvenile agency work, criminal justice administration, and private/corporate security. Course offerings within these professional fields are related to the human services program, public administration, urban studies, and commercial enterprises. Criminal Justice and Criminology Major for Bachelor of Science The bachelor of science in criminal justice and criminology is designed to provide professional courses as well as a broad general education. The curriculum is structured for the student seeking either preservice or in-service education. Recognizing that many people who are interested in such education are already employed in some form of criminal justice work, and that many people have completed coursework at the community college level, the department has developed a four-year program that provides comprehensive fundamental subjects in the first two years (lower-division) and emphasizes subjects of an advanced, specialized, and administrative nature in the second two years (upper-division). The curriculum is structured to facilitate transfer from two-year police science/criminal justice programs. The department has an articulation agreement with the Colorado Community College System. The articulation agreement states that if a transfer student has completed the total general education requirements at any accredited Colorado community college, MSCD will consider the student's General Studies requirements completed. A minor in business management, political science, psychology,
sociology, or urban studies is strongly recommended, but others are accepted.
An individualized degree minor may also be designed to meet the student's
area of interest. Areas of Study Criminal Justice and Criminology Major

Education The underlying theme of the teacher education program is The Teacher as a Decision Maker in Diverse Contexts. Students’ programs include General Studies, majors and minors in academic disciplines, and teacher licensure coursework. All courses and field experiences expose students to a wide variety of content theories, models, and practices that will develop decision-making skills as teachers and enable teacher candidates to work with a wide range of students in a broad spectrum of settings. As they enter teaching, graduates will have the knowledge and skill to teach to state and national standards in the various content areas and to demonstrate professional standards for teachers. Coursework and experiences are guided by the following:
The teacher education program is the professional education area of the Professional Education Unit (PEU), consisting of faculty in the Schools of Professional Studies; Letters, Arts and Sciences; and Business. The program is fully accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education and the Colorado Department of Education. The teacher education program prepares students to teach. Academic departments in the School of Letters, Arts and Sciences and in the School of Professional Studies prepare students with the content knowledge to teach. The Early Childhood and Elementary Education Department and the Secondary Education Department offer teacher education courses, clinical experiences, and student teaching. The Reading Department offers required professional courses in early childhood education, elementary education, and secondary education. The completion of a licensure program, in addition to the completion of a bachelor’s degree in an approved major, prepares students to apply to the Colorado Department of Education for teacher licensure at designated grade levels. The particular sequence of education courses to be taken is determined by the level at which a student wishes to teach. The education courses may be taken along with the bachelor’s degree program or after the degree program has been completed. Licensure is granted by the Colorado Department of Education, based on recommendation by the director of the Office of Clinical Services, approval of appropriate documents, and payment of assessment fees. Students receive endorsements in the level and/or subject area in which they are qualified to teach. The teacher education program also provides outreach to in-service teachers, including first-year assistance, mentor training, and other summer workshops. Note: Every degree-seeking student must meet all requirements of the bachelor’s degree program, including an approved major, a minor (in most cases), and the college’s General Studies program as outlined in this Catalog under the chosen major. There is a list of approved majors or subject area endorsements to choose from (see below).

Admission to the Teacher Education Program Students seeking to complete the teacher preparation program must move through four significant “gates” intended to monitor student progress: provisional admission; formal admission; eligibility for student teaching; and institutional recommendation for teacher licensure. Certain requirements connected with each of these gates are described below. Students who wish to enter the teacher education program must apply for provisional admission for one semester. After one semester of enrollment in any education class, students must qualify for and receive formal admission and be issued a formal admission card. Requirements are established by The Metropolitan State College of Denver in keeping with guidelines provided by the Colorado Department of Education. Requirements are subject to modification, so students should consult with a faculty advisor to confirm the current requirements. It is recommended that students who want to teach at the secondary or K–12 education level decide on a major and take several courses in their major before entering the teacher education program. To study early childhood administration, students do not have to be admitted to the teacher education program or be degree-seeking. Provisional Admission A provisional admission card will be issued to all entering students in the appropriate education department office or in the initial education class in which they are enrolled. With provisional admission, students are assigned an education advisor to consult during the first semester and who will remain their advisor throughout the program. Also, during the first semester, students should begin to develop a program plan and begin their teacher candidate portfolio. Students should also begin working with an advisor in their major area. Provisional admission is valid for one semester only. After provisional admission has expired, formal admission requirements must be met. Formal Admission By the end of their first semester in the professional teacher preparation sequence, students must meet the following requirements for formal admission to the program. Students may not take additional teacher education courses until they meet these requirements. All requirements for formal admission must be met before the first day of the second semester of professional education classes. Faculty advisors are available to provide additional explanation of requirements listed.

No minor is required as part of the teacher education program. However, the following minors are offered by the Department of Early Childhood, Elementary and Special Education: early childhood education, special education/gifted education, parent education and bilingual/bicultural education. The Reading Department offers the reading minor. To satisfy the minor requirements for the bachelor's degree program, a student may choose one of these minors or one of the other minors described in this Catalog. Students are advised to take a minor that is also a teaching field. Secondary licensure students may pursue these two professional minors: special education/gifted education and reading. Bilingual/Bicultural Education Minor The teacher education program offers a minor in bilingual/bicultural education, an interdisciplinary program sponsored by the Chicano Studies, Early Childhood, Elementary and Special Education, Modern Languages, and Reading Departments. The principal objective of the bilingual/bicultural minor is to prepare future teachers to meet the needs of all students, particularly the linguistically different student. Among other goals, this minor prepares teachers to conduct all phases of classroom instruction in a bilingual and bicultural setting and to ensure the development of English language literacy. In the developmental sequence, the minor provides the potential teacher with a background of Mexican heritage and an understanding of present-day Hispanic/Chicano culture. Proficiency in the Spanish language is required of all students before they complete the minor. This proficiency prepares the teacher to understand and further develop the native tongue of bilingual children while offering a second language to many other children. In addition, the minor provides the student with sufficient clinical and academic experiences and resources to develop, implement, and evaluate curricular methods, techniques, and materials in the bilingual/bicultural classroom. The practicum in bilingual/bicultural education is required.

People entering these fields may be in a position to develop and conduct parent education programs; a minor in parent education should serve them well in the employment market. Other fields might also provide opportunities to use this background. Parent education happens in settings ranging from churches to industry and is not limited to educational settings in the usual sense. The parent education minor encompasses three areas of preparation. One set of classes is intended to give students basic information necessary for effective parenting (child development, parenting techniques, family management and health care). The second facet of the program gives students the skills necessary for developing and conducting parent education programs such as group techniques and program development. The third component of the program entails actual field experience working in parent education programs. This experience is incorporated into a number of classes and is the central component of the final course in the minor. A field placement is required in the last semester. Placement opportunities include parent education in hospitals, social service agencies, public and private schools, and business and industry. Students work closely with a parent education program advisor to ensure an appropriate field placement. For more information 303-556-2759.

Human Services Department The human services curriculum prepares students to combine knowledge from the social and behavioral sciences with the art of compassion and understanding to assist people in their lives. Our nationally recognized curriculum, approved by the Council of Standards in Human Service Education and the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Division of the Colorado Department of Health, provides coursework in assessment, diagnosis, prevention, and intervention of psychological and emotional difficulties. Specifically, the training covers counseling and applied psychotherapy for individuals, couples, families, and groups; addiction intervention theory and techniques; domestic violence counseling; and nonprofit administration principles. Particular attention is given to racial, gender, socioeconomic class, and cultural issues in the delivery of human services. Our core curriculum can be supplemented with an emphasis in high risk youth, drug and alcohol counseling, domestic violence counseling, or nonprofit organization administration. Learning opportunities are provided through classroom and field placement experiences. Classes are small and are highly interactive, ensuring a more personalized learning experience. In addition, our nontraditional student population brings a wide range of professional and life experience to the classroom. Field instruction experiences at community agencies further reinforce textbook learning and provide networking opportunities for our students. Classes are taught by highly qualified instructors who have doctoral and master's degrees in such diverse fields as psychology, social work, theology, education, nursing, human communication, nutrition, sociology, and nonprofit organization administration. Instructors in the Human Services Department also have real-life experience as practitioners in a variety of human services. Various state licenses and certifications substantiate their expertise. Committed to teaching excellence, our faculty receive some of the highest student ratings in the college. Graduates with degrees in human services are qualified to work in a variety of settings, including community health centers, addiction centers, nonprofit organizations, employee assistance programs, religious organizations, and social service agencies. Our program has generated an 87 percent employment rate for our graduates in careers directly related to the major. Many of our graduates go on to complete graduate education in psychology, theology, social work, addiction studies, public administration, or other areas, including business and law. Regardless of individual career objectives, however, people who major in Human Services are people who want to help others. A bachelor of science degree in Human Services prepares students to become professionals in the art and science of helping others. Students combine the knowledge and experience gained in our program with their own sense of commitment and compassion to make positive contributions to others' lives.

Mechanical Engineering Technology Program Graduates enter the engineering profession as engineering technologists. About 15 percent choose to take the Fundamentals of Engineering (F.E.) examination following graduation, to begin the six-year process, as a minimum, to become a registered professional engineer. The latter is often required for forensic (expert witness) and/or consulting work, when the health and safety of the general public are involved. A smaller percentage attend graduate school. The majority obtains gainful employment in a variety of industries ranging from large aerospace companies to small manufacturing and custom-design businesses. Job titles range from technician and engineering technologist to engineer. The MET program offers the bachelor of science degree, which is accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission (TAC) of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). The educational approach is hands-on with 63 percent of the courses requiring laboratory work in addition to lectures. It is structured with two distinct areas of emphasis: manufacturing and mechanical. Students are required to take a four-hour assessment examination prior to graduation. The written exam is given in the Senior Experience course in each emphasis.

Reading Department The Reading Department offers two outstanding literacy programs. One program provides for the refinement of critical and analytical reading skills that enable college students to enhance the quality of their undergraduate education. RDG 1510, Cognitive Strategies for Analytical Reading, is designed as a college-level reading course that satisfies a General Studies Level I Communications requirement. RDG 3060, Critical Reading/Thinking, provides further practice in the employment of cognitive strategies to discover fallacies, recognize obstacles to critical thinking, and judge the validity of expository writing. This course satisfies a General Studies Level II Arts and Letters requirement. The second program is a dynamic minor in reading that prepares students for careers in business, industry, government, and education as instructional leaders in literacy programs. The minor includes knowledge of the reading process, factors influencing emergent literacy, preparation and presentation of reading lessons, development of instructional materials, identification of reading disability correlates, assessment and interpretation of test results, and a closely supervised remedial reading tutorial experience. Students planning to complete teacher licensure requirements at all levels are encouraged to elect this minor. Note: A letter grade of at least a "C" must be attained in each of the courses in the reading minor.
