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
The Aerospace Science Department offers baccalaureate
degree programs with majors in the following areas:
Aviation Management (AMG)
Aviation Technology (ATV)
General Aviation/Air Carrier Concentration
(AMG5) Air Carrier/General Aviation Concentration Airway Science Management
Concentration (AMG2) (ATV1)
Airway Science Maintenance Management Concentration
Aircraft Systems Management Concentration (AMG4) (ATV2)
Minors
Airframe and Powerplant Mechanics (APL) Private
Pilot (PRP)
Aviation Management (AMG) Aviation Technology
(ATV)
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 earn a bachelor of science degree in the college's aviation
program. In order to be awarded 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:
- Students entering MSCD for the first
time must apply for credit by examination during the first three weeks
of the first semester. All examinations must be completed within the
first semester.
- Students will not be approved to take
an examination for a course with a lower number than any course they
have taken previously.
- Students who are registered for but
have not completed a higher-numbered course must complete the examination
for the lower-numbered course within the first three weeks of the semester
in which the student enrolls in an Aerospace Science course.
- Examinations will not be graded during
the summer session.
- Courses authorized for credit by examination
and the appropriate FAA license or rating follow:

Credit For Airframe and Powerplant Certificate
Students seeking credit for their A&P
certificate must provide a copy of their certificate, a copy of the certificate
of completion from the school where it was obtained, and beginning and
ending dates of A&P school attendance. Students must also take three
pass/fail examinations through the Aerospace Science Department.
There will be no extra tuition charge for
the 25 credits, which can be applied to a student's transcript.
Credit is not automatically given for the
A&P certificate. Students will be allowed to test as follows:
- General test-5 credit hours-pass/fail
(Students can proceed to either of the next two examinations only if
the general test is passed.)
- Airframe-10 credit hours
- Powerplant-10 credit hours
The maximum amount of credits that can
be earned is 25. Credit will be given individually for examinations two
and three. If a student fails either the airframe examination or the powerplant
examination, the department will determine which additional courses should
be taken, and a maximum of 15 credits will be applied toward the major
degree.
Air Force ROTC
Air Force ROTC (UC-B) Folsom Stadium, 218
University of Colorado at Boulder
Boulder, Colorado 80309
303-492-8351
U.S. Air Force ROTC offers several programs
leading to a commission in the U.S. Air Force upon receipt of at least
a baccalaureate degree.
Standard Four-Year Program
This program is in three parts: the General Military Course
(GMC) for lower-division students; the Professional Officer Course (POC)
for upper-division students; and the Leadership Laboratory (LLAB), attended
by all cadets. Completion of the GMC is a prerequisite for entry into
the POC. Completion of a four-week summer training course is required
prior to commissioning.
Modified Two-Year Program
This program is offered to full-time, regularly enrolled
degree students. It requires at least two years of full-time college (undergraduate
or graduate level, or a combination). Those selected for this program
must complete a six-week field-training program during the summer months
as a prerequisite for entry into the POC the following fall semester.
Leadership Lab
All AFROTC cadets must attend LLAB (one and one-half hours
per week). The laboratory involves a study of Air Force customs and courtesies,
drills and ceremonies, career opportunities, and the life and work of
an Air Force junior officer.
Other AFROTC Programs
Other programs are frequently available based on current
Air Force needs. Any AFROTC staff member in Boulder at 303-492-8351 can
discuss the best alternatives. Interested students should make initial
contact as early as possible because selection is on a competitive basis.
There is no obligation until a formal contract is entered.
Air Force College Scholarship Program
Students participating in Air Force ROTC may be eligible
to compete for Air Force ROTC college scholarships. Students selected
for this program are placed on scholarships that pay tuition, book allowances,
nonrefundable educational fees, and a subsistence of $150 per month, tax-free.
All cadets enrolled in the POC receive a $150 per month subsistence during
the regular academic year. Two- and three-year scholarships are available
to both men and women in all academic disciplines. In addition, there
are special programs for minority students.
Flight Opportunities
Prior to entering the fourth year of the AFROTC program,
qualified AFROTC students can compete for pilot allocations. Cadets are
eligible to fly with the Civil Air Patrol as ROTC members.
USAF Medical Programs
Qualified pre-med or nursing students can compete for pre-med

Exact course credit for Army ROTC classes will be determined by your individual
academic advisor.
Registration
Students desiring to register for Army ROTC should contact
the recruiting officer at CU-Boulder at 303-492-3549 for more details.
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 concentrations.
For every CET and SUR course, a minimum
grade of "C" is required before a student can progress.
For Surveying and Mapping, please see
page 216 of this Catalog.
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 concentration. This program is accredited by the Technology
Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and
Technology.

Criminal Justice and Criminology Department
The present and future needs of U.S. society require greater
numbers of highly educated people in criminal justice agencies at all
levels of government. Criminal justice employers demand applicants who
have had professional education. There is considerable interest among
criminal justice practitioners to increase professionalism through education.
The curriculum provides quality criminal justice education and prepares
students interested in the study of police, law enforcement, probation
and parole, corrections, juvenile agency work, criminal justice administration
and private/corporate security. Course offerings within these professional
fields are related to other programs at the college, including human services,
business and the social sciences.
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 advanced, specialized or administrative subjects 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 basic requirements at any accredited Colorado community college,
Metropolitan State College of Denver will consider the student's General
Studies requirements completed.
Students must meet the college's requirements
for the bachelor's degree including General Studies. they should consult
with a faculty advisor regarding General Studies courses and the selection
of criminal justice electives. The department recommends the following
General Studies courses: BIO 1000, Human Biology for Non-Majors; PSY 1001,
Introductory Psychology; and SOC 1010, Introduction to Sociology. A minor
is not required.

Human Services
Department
The Human Services Department at The Metropolitan State
College of Denver prepares students for careers in the helping professions:
assisting individuals, couples, and families meet the challenges of living
throughout the life cycle. The core curriculum offers courses in the theory
and practice of mental health counseling, including applied behavioral
analysis, small group dynamics, ethical and legal issues, psychopathology
and the mental health clinician, and practicum and internship experiences
where students apply the theory they have studied thus developing their
application skills in human service work settings. The Human Services
major is based on this counseling and mental health services core curriculum.
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 course work in assessment,
prevention, and intervention of mental health concerns. Specialized education
in addiction intervention theory and techniques; domestic violence, counseling;
high-risk youth intervention, prevention and counseling; or nonprofit
administration principles meeting Colorado State certification is offered.
Multicultural issues in the delivery of human services are addressed throughout
the curriculum noting in particular cultural diversity issues of race/ethnicity,
gender, socioeconomic class, religion, sexual orientation, age, physical
and mental abilities in the delivery of human services. The core curriculum
can be supplemented with a concentration in high-risk youth, drug and
alcohol counseling, domestic violence counseling, or nonprofit organization
administration. Field instruction at community agencies further textbook
learning and provide networking opportunities for our students.
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. State
certification in addictions studies or domestic violence is available
at the baccalaureate level. Over half of our graduates go on to complete
graduate degrees and licensure or practice requirements in human services,
marriage and family counseling, various fields within psychology, theology,
pastoral counseling, social work, addiction studies, public administration,
or other areas, including business and law. If graduate study is part
of your career plans, please talk with an advisor about your options and
necessary course work for entry into such programs.

Industrial Design
Industrial designers create new product shapes, styles
and redesign existing products, using new technologies, processes and
materials. Many people can and do predict future products. In contrast,
industrial designers are trained to analyze people's needs and desires,
to match forms, functions, materials, processes and technologies to provide
better product solutions. Industrial designers do more that predict the
future, they prescribe it.
The Industrial Design Program at MSCD takes seriously the growing demand
for new, creative and effective technological solutions to the problems
facing contemporary society. The program's goal is to prepare the students
to compete and succeed today and in the future.
Please note: The ITS prefix will become IND effective Spring 2002.
ITS will be used for courses in the class schedules and for registration
for Summer 2001 and Fall 2001. Beginning Spring 2002, the IND prefix for
courses becomes effective.

Mechanical Engineering Technology Program
The day and evening program is continually upgraded to
reflect state-of-the art technology while meeting the needs of industry
and employers of the mechanical engineering technology graduates. An advisory
committee, which includes employers, graduates, and students of the program,
meets with faculty and administrators to review curriculum, student and
faculty recruitment, program needs, progress, problems and probable solutions,
laboratory equipment, facilities, and to assist in the placement of graduates.
The committee assures a high level of community awareness and support
of the 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
concentrations: 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 concentration.
The requirements for the Mechanical Engineering
Technology major are being revised. Please consult with a Mechanical Engineering
Technology advisor about the requirements.

Reading
Reading 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.
Teacher education programs are currently undergoing review and may be
modified during 2000-2002. Students seeking teacher licensure should read
the teacher licensure sections of this Catalog, pages 217-232,
and they should stay in regular contact with their advisors.
Note: A letter grade of at least a "C"
must be attained in each of the courses in the reading minor.

Surveying and Mapping
The bachelor of science degree in surveying
and mapping is the only one of its kind in Colorado and the region. It
prepares graduates for registration as professional land surveyors and
for careers in other areas of surveying and mapping or for graduate study.
Graduates are in professional-level positions with the Bureau of Land
Management and other federal, state, and local government agencies, utilities,
and private companies. Several have become officers of their societies
(Professional Land Surveyors of Colorado and the Colorado Section of the
American Congress on Surveying and Mapping). A relatively new employment
area for graduates is in land information systems (storing information
on land parcels, public utilities, natural resources, etc., in computer
systems for recordkeeping and planning purposes).
For every CET and SUR course, a minimum
grade of "C" is required before a student can progress.
For Civil Engineering Technology, please

Teacher Education
The underlying theme of Teacher Education is The Teacher
as a Decision Maker in Diverse Contexts. Students' programs include General
Studies, majors and minors, and teacher licensure course work. 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 to teach to state and national content standards in the
various content areas and to demonstrate skill in all professional licensure
standards for teachers. Teacher candidates exiting the program will be
able to:
- study and integrate the broad range of disciplines
within the liberal arts.
- become reflective, critical thinkers in diverse contexts.
- link research, theory, and philosophy to practice.
- use varied pedagogical models for planning, implementing,
and evaluating instruction in diverse contexts.
- engage in lifelong learning in diverse contexts.
Teacher Education at MSCD is fully accredited by
the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education and the
Colorado Department of Education. It is under consideration for reaccreditation
at the time of this printing by the Colorado Commission on Higher Education
working in conjunction with the Colorado Department of Education.
Academic departments in the School of Letters, Arts and Sciences, the
School of Business and in the School of Professional Studies prepare students
with the content and professional knowledge needed. Professional Education
programs in Bilingual, Early Childhood, Elementary, K-12, Secondary and
Special Education offer teacher education courses, clinical experiences,
and student teaching. The Reading Program offers required professional
courses for students in each program. The completion of a licensure program,
a passing score on the PLACE content exam, and the completion of a bachelor's
degree in an approved major enable 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 and is based on a recommendation by the director of the Teacher
Education Center, approval of appropriate documents and assessments, and
payment of fees. Students receive endorsements in the level and/or subject
area in which they are qualified to teach. Teacher Education at MSCD also
provides outreach to in-service teachers, including first-year assistance,
mentor training, and summer workshops.
NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE AND CURRENTLY-ENROLLED

At the time this Catalog went to press, Metropolitan State College
of Denver had not been informed of the results of the review of its Teacher
Education Program conducted by CCHE and CDE. Because MSCD has not been
formally notified about approval of its programs, prospective and enrolled
students are hereby notified that any of the above-listed teacher preparation
programs may be discontinued by the CCHE on July 1, 2001. Students
who are enrolled at MSCD and admitted to a teacher preparation program
prior to January 15, 2001 will be permitted to complete the program to
which they were admitted although some course requirements may be modified.
If a teacher preparation program is discontinued, students in that program
must complete the teacher preparation program's requirements no later
than June 30, 2005 to be eligible for licensure as teachers. Otherwise,
to be eligible for licensure as teachers, students must enroll in and
complete an approved teacher education program at MSCD or another institution.
Discontinuation of a teacher preparation program with specific majors
and minors does not mean that the major and minor programs will be discontinued.
Students may still receive their bachelor's degree in the major and minor
they were pursuing. Students planning to enroll in a teacher education
program or seeking teacher licensure are urged to maintain regular contact
with both their major advisor and their teacher preparation advisor to
learn of the status of their MSCD teacher preparation program.
THE TEACHER EDUCATION CENTER
The Teacher Education Center (TEC) is located in Central Classroom 101
and performs essential administrative functions for all of the Teacher
Education Programs. The Office of Clinical Services (OCS), which is administratively
part of the TEC, is located in West Classroom 141. The TEC manages all
procedural steps and processes related to students moving through the
teacher education program from onset to licensure, ensuring quality and
equity. The four key functions of the Teacher Education Center are:
1. Provisional/permanent admission to all teacher education programs (TEC).
2. Ongoing monitoring of student progress through the teacher education
programs (TEC).
3. Application to student teaching for all teacher education programs
(OCS).
4. Recommendation to the Colorado Department of Education for licensure
(OCS).
The other responsibilities of the Teacher Education Center are to provide:
- initial informational/advising services
- a records center for students needing to check files/paperwork
- a monitoring service that tracks students as they
progress through a teacher education/licensure program
- orientation/informational meetings open to all students
- administrative service for the bilingual/bicultural
minor offered by the Teacher Education Department
administrative services for the Teachers for Colorado
Program
PROVISIONAL ADMISSION TO TEACHER EDUCATION
PROGRAMS
A provisional admittance card will be issued in the Teacher Education
Center to all students entering a teacher education program. With provisional
admission, students are assigned an education advisor to consult during
the first semester. Teacher candidates who have not taken a licensure
class previously in the State of Colorado may be provisionally admitted
to the Teacher Education Program for one semester, during which time the
criteria for formal admission must be met.
Previously taken education courses may be considered as substitutions
for MSCD courses if they are less than seven years old and are a close
match to the required courses. Students should meet with their education
advisor for assistance. Students must certify that they left any previous
education program in good standing and were eligible to return by providing
a letter of verification.
Provisional admittance is valid for one semester only and is not renewable.
All requirements for formal admission must be documented no later than
the beginning of the third week of the student's second semester of education
course work or students will be dropped from their education classes.
FORMAL ADMISSION TO TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAMS
Candidates must submit an Application for Admission into a Teacher Education
Program and copies of transcripts of all college work to the Teacher Education
Center no later than the beginning of the third week of the second semester
of education course work. Candidates must document eligibility by providing

MINORS
The following minors are offered by the Teacher Education
Department: bilingual/bicultural education, early childhood education,
elementary education, parent education, reading, secondary education,
and special education. 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.
To complete a bachelor's degree and licensure in eight semesters, students
who wish to be elementary or early childhood education teachers should
take the minor in that program. The minor in secondary education is an
option that assists prospective secondary school teachers in completing
both bachelor's degree and licensure in eight semesters.
The minor is a baccalaureate degree requirement, not a requirement of
the teacher education licensure program. Licensure-only students, for
example, do no need a minor to become licensed to teach.
BILINGUAL/BICULTURAL EDUCATION MINOR
The minor in bilingual/bicultural education is an interdisciplinary
minor sponsored by the Chicana/o Studies, Modern Languages, and Teacher
Education Departments. The principal objective of the bilingual/bicultural
minor is to prepare future teachers to meet the needs of all students,
particularly linguistically different students. Among other goals, this
minor prepares teachers to conduct all phases of classroom instruction
in a bilingual and bicultural setting and to promote the students' academic
success and development of English language literacy. In the developmental
sequence, the minor provides the potential teacher with a background of
Hispanic heritage and an understanding of present-day Hispanic/Chicano
culture. 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 bilingual/bicultural minor provides a program of study
with two options to serve different students' needs.
Option 1: Students can take the bilingual/bicultural minor without
seeking bilingual education endorsement. This course of study provides
an opportunity for these students to become aware of the culture and unique
needs of the limited English proficient students with whom they will work.
Students in this course of study are required to possess satisfactory
Spanish reading and writing literacy as assessed by the BYU Computerized
Adaptive Proficiency Exam. Students' Spanish listening and speaking
skills must also be assessed as satisfactory by a committee of Spanish
speaking faculty in the Modern Languages and Chicana and Chicano Studies
Departments. Students are also required to pass all levels of Spanish
courses indicated in the minor. This program rests on the belief that
a teacher with the required knowledge, attitudes, and skills taught in
the bilingual/bicultural minor can provide for a student's success even
without full proficiency in the Spanish language. This minor is available
for students in any of the licensure programs. Students in the minor will
complete a 90-hour bilingual field experience (EDU 4520) rather than the
student teaching assignment in a bilingual classroom setting. They will
not be eligible for recommendation for an added teaching endorsement in
bilingual education. Those wishing an endorsement in bilingual education
from the Colorado Department of Education should follow option 2.
Option 2: This option is for students seeking an added endorsement
to their approved teacher licensure program (e.g., elementary education).
Students who successfully complete Option 2 will be recommended for an
additional endorsement in bilingual education granted by the Colorado
Department of Education. Students will complete the bilingual/bicultural
minor program of study. They must demonstrate a high level of proficiency
in Spanish reading and writing prior to completing the minor as assessed
by scores on the BYU Computerized Adaptive Proficiency Exam. They
must also demonstrate a high level of proficiency in Spanish speaking
and listening as assessed by a committee of Spanish speaking faculty in
the Modern Languages and Chicana and Chicano Studies Departments. Students
in Option 2 will complete a full-time eight-week student teaching assignment
(EDU 4590) in a bilingual classroom. This assignment provides an additional
opportunity for students to demonstrate, among other skills and knowledge,
the ability to provide instruction in both English and Spanish. Students'
high levels of Spanish language proficiency (reading, writing, speaking,
listening) prepares them to understand and further develop the native
tongue of bilingual children while offering a second language to many
other children.

EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION MINOR
Bachelor's degree seeking early childhood licensure students
must minor in Early Childhood Education to complete their degree and licensure
program within four years.
The minor in Early Childhood Education also serves three other groups of
students. First, it meets the needs of students who are initially endorsed
by the Colorado Department of Education in elementary education or special
education and want a second endorsement in early childhood by the Colorado
Department of Education. These students should be most interested in grade
pre-school-3. Second, it meets the needs of students who wish to work with
young children in a setting that does not require teacher licensure, especially
in roles as parents, day care group leaders, and day care directors. Finally,
it serves students who intend to pursue graduate studies in special education,
psychology, social work or other related fields with a focus on working
with young children. Admission to teacher education is required since students
will be working with pupils in schools. The minor does not include all teacher
licensure courses.

ELEMENTARY EDUCATION MINOR
The Elementary Education Minor is designed so students seeking
a baccalaureate degree can complete their teacher preparation program in
four years. It also serves individuals who are interested in working with
elementary aged children (ages 5-12) outside the K-6 classroom (e.g. recreation
fields, summer camps, travel programs, after school enrichment programs,
day care). The minor provides the only available option for degree seeking
students to complete the elementary licensure program and their B.A. in
four years. Admission to teacher education is required since students will
be working with pupils in schools. The minor includes 45 hours of field
experience. Students seeking licensure need to complete additional requirements
including student teaching.

**These two classes must be taken concurrently.
PARENT
EDUCATION MINOR
The parent education minor is for students entering professions
involved with children and families. It provides the necessary knowledge
and skills for working with parents. Also, the program addresses a need
identified in the community for people with specific preparation for the
role of parent educator. Many agencies offer or are interested in offering
parent education programs, yet no specific preparation for that role has
been available. This minor is designed to make the field of parent education
more credible by providing students with education for that role and to
give students a set of skills that are increasingly in demand.
The minor is seen as particularly appropriate for students entering family-
and child-related fields, including education, health care management, human
services, criminal justice (especially juvenile justice), nursing and nurse
practitioner programs, psychology, sociology, social welfare, speech, and
women's studies. 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 call the Child Development
Center at 303-556-2759.

SECONDARY EDUCATION MINOR
The Secondary Education Minor will be of interest to students
who wish to teach in secondary schools, grades 7-12, or work with secondary-aged
children outside the classroom (e.g., recreation programs, travel, summer
camps, enrichment programs), or work with learners of all ages in corporate
or other training/education programs. It provides necessary knowledge,
skills and applications in real school settings to develop students' understanding
of the principles of teaching and learning in middle and high schools.
The minor provides an option that assists degree-seeking students pursuing
licensure to complete their baccalaureate and teacher licensure requirements
in four years. To emphasize the application of knowledge in the field
as required in new performance standards for teachers, the minor features
160 field based hours. Admission to teacher education is required since
students will be working with pupils in schools. The minor does not include
all teacher licensure courses.

SPECIAL EDUCATION MINOR
The minor in special education is designed to prepare teachers,
physical educators, counselors, and professionals to work with exceptional
students in educational, therapeutic, and recreational settings. The minor
may also lead to a graduate program in special education. Students who
pursue this area of study may choose to pursue the standard minor (which
is 18 hours of credit), or MSCD/UCD composite program (which is 24 hours
of credit from MSCD, plus an additional 18 hours of UCD graduate credit),
which leads to Teacher I endorsement. A program for licensure in special
education and for dual licensure is being piloted. Admission to teacher
education is required since students will be working with pupils in schools.

Technical Communications Department
The Technical Communications Department
offers a B.A. degree in Technical Communications with four concentrations
and a technical communications minor. The four concentrations are technical
writing and editing, corporate communications, technical media and multimedia
production. Each concentration offers training in one or more communications
areas that are most in demand by industry and government. Technical writing
and editing prepares an individual to write, edit, and publish the wide
variety of reports, manuals, and other technical or lay publications produced
by industry and government. The corporate communications concentration
is designed for the person who desires to manage the flow of information
within a company, government agency, or between industries and agencies.
The technical media concentration meets two needs of industry and government:
people prepared to design and implement internal training programs, and
people seeking careers to provide technical information through visual
media. The multimedia production concentration provides the student with
the theory, production and programming practices used in business and
industry.
The technical communications minor provides
a general background in preparing technical information designed to meet
the minimal needs of industry and government, with the opportunity to
emphasize the area of most interest to the student. The minor is particularly
useful to people majoring in scientific and technological disciplines
as a means of expanding their employment skills.
The program welcomes students from the
community and other areas of the college whose professional or academic
work will benefit from one or more of the program offerings. Students
enrolling in one of the major concentrations or the minor must confer
with a program advisor because all degree plans are tailored to the career
goals of the individual student.
Computerized document processing ability
is required of all students majoring or minoring in the technical communications
programs. Students can meet this requirement in one of three ways:
- Students can provide documentary evidence
of a previous satisfactory completion of an academic or industrial training
course in computer literacy and document processing at the time they
declare their major or minor.
- Students can enroll in an approved MSCD
course in CMS or CSI in the semester following the declaration of their
major or minor.
- Students can complete a skills test
administered by the program during the semester they declare their major
or minor.
- All students majoring in the technical
communications program must participate in program assessment. See the
department for details.
- An extended major within the Department
is possible if a student fulfills all of the following conditions:
- The student has completed an Associate
of Arts, Associate of Applied Science or Associate of General Studies
Degree from a community college
- The associate degree earned by the student
materially augments the concentration selected as a major in Technical
Communications
- The curriculum for the associates degree
to be used is accepted by the Department
- A 2+2 agreement is in place between
the community college granting the degree and the Technical Communications
Department.
To complete an extended major the student
must fulfill all the requirements specified in any of the Technical Communications
concentrations. In addition, the student must fulfill any general studies
or multicultural requirements of the College. If an Associate of Arts,
Associate of Applied Science or Associate of General Studies degree has
not been awarded by a community college, the student cannot take an extended
major.
