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 programs prepare graduates to enter administrative positions within the various segments of the aviation industry. The Council on Aviation Accreditation accredits the Aerospace Systems Management Concentration.

Airframe and powerplant (A&P) courses are not offered by MSCD. However, students holding a valid FAA airframe and powerplant certificate 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 Degrees
The Aerospace Science Department offers baccalaureate degree programs with majors in the following areas:

Aviation Management (AMG)
Aerospace Management Concentration
Aerospace Systems Management Concentration
Aerospace Maintenance Management Concentration

Aviation Technology (ATV)
Air Carrier/General Aviation Concentration
Aircraft Systems Management Concentration

Minors
Airframe and Powerplant Mechanics
Aviation Management
Aviation Technology
Private Pilot

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 (see page 12).

FAA-Approved Ground School
MSCD’s Aerospace Science Department is a fully certificated and FAA-approved ground school for the private, instrument, commercial and flight and ground instructor FAA certificates and ratings. It has FAA examining authority for the Private, Commercial and Instrument Knowledge exams.

Flight Courses
Flight training is arranged by the student. Students must receive permission from the Aerospace Science Department before enrolling in flight courses (AES 1500, AES 2500, AES 3520, AES 4500, AES 4510, AES 4520, AES 4530 and AES 4550). Students receiving financial aid assistance who wish to receive flight training for credit must consult with the Financial Aid office. Aviation Technology students may obtain their FAA flight certificates from any approved FAA training program and submit the certificates to the Aerospace Science department before graduation.

The cost of flight training is in addition to regular tuition and college services fees. The 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.

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 A&P certificate. 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.

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 or nursing scholarships and programs. These scholarships and programs can lead to a rewarding career as an Air Force officer, serving as a doctor or nurse.

Two-Year Program
Under this program students may enter the Advanced Course during their Junior year without participating in the Basic Course. They receive credit for the Basic Course by attending a five-week summer camp between their Sophomore and Junior years or receive credit for prior military experience.

Army ROTC Scholarship Program
The Army currently offers two, three and four-year scholarship opportunities, based on individual qualifications. In addition to tuition and fee assistance, students are eligible for a book stipend and $150 per month subsistence payments during the school year.

Army ROTC Course Credit
Army ROTC serves as elective credit in most departments. 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
Department of Engineering Technology and Industrial Design
The specialized fields within civil engineering technology include programs in civil engineering technology, 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.

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.

Athletic Training Concentration/Athletic Training Education Program
This concentration is designed for the student pursuing a career in athletic training. The goal of the MSCD athletic training student is certification as an athletic trainer (ATC) by the National Athletic Trainers Associate Board of Certification (NATABOC). The objective of the athletic training education program is to prepare athletic training majors for the NATABOC examination.

Completion of this program eliminates the need for a minor.

To be accepted into the program, students must:

• have a declared major in human performance and sports with an athletic training concentration.
• have completed a minimum of 15 semester hours at MSCD or other postsecondary institution, with a minimum GPA of 2.75 (on a 4.0 scale).
• have completed these prerequisite courses with a grade of “C” or higher:
  HPS 2060—Emergency Rescue/First Responder and CPR or course deemed equivalent.
  BIO 2310/2320—Human Anatomy and Physiology I and II or acceptable transfer course deemed equivalent.

Following admission to the Athletic Training Education Program, students must maintain a cumulative 2.75 GPA to continue in the program.

As a result of recent athletic training educational changes at the national level, students should make note of the following:

• The internship route to NATABOC certification eligibility is being phased out and will no longer be an educational option after December 31, 2003.
• After December 31, 2003, students must graduate from a CAAHEP accredited Athletic Training Education program to be eligible to sit for the NATABOC exam.
• Presently, the Athletic Training Education Program at MSCD is in Candidacy for CAAHEP accreditation.
• Students interested in the field of athletic training should contact the Athletic Training Education Program Director for further details (PE/Event Center, Room 217).

Human Services Department
The Human Services Department at 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 Human Services, 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
Department of Engineering Technology and 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.

Mechanical Engineering Technology Program
Department of Engineering Technology and Industrial Design

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.

Nutrition Minor - Department of Health Professions
The minor in nutrition is designed to complement a major chosen by a student and/or for individuals who wish to establish self-improvement programs by gaining a basic understanding of nutritional studies. A minimum of 18 semester hours is required to complete the minor.

This nutrition minor will not meet registration requirements for qualifications as a Registered Dietitian in the State of Colorado. An R.D. (Registered Dietitian) is required to provide nutritional counseling to individuals. A major in nutrition, an internship and passing a national exam are all requirements to obtain the R.D.

Required Courses:
NUT 2040 Introduction to Nutrition...................3
NUT 3080 Maternal and Child Nutrition................3
NUT 3100 Nutrition and Aging.........................3
NUT 3200 Nutrition and Sports Performance............3
NUT 3210 Community Nutrition.........................3
Science elective*....................................3
Total for minor.....................................18

*A course in chemistry, biochemistry, or biology is required. The course should be selected in consultation with an advisor in the Department of Health Professions.

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.

Such a program must include all courses required for the major and those listed here as required for the parent education minor. Approval by both departments will be necessary for such a combined program.

Reading Program - Department of Teacher Education

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.

Special Education
Department of Teacher Education

Special Education Major for Bachelor of Arts
The special education major is a course of study that will prepare students to meet the educational needs of children and adolescents with moderate disabilities. The curriculum incorporates the Performance-Based Standards for Colorado Teachers (2000), the Colorado Model Content Standards, Teacher I: Moderate Needs, the core standards for the Exceptional Needs Specialist set forth by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (1997), and the NCATE/CEC International Standards for the Preparation and Certification of Special Education Teachers (1996). All special education majors will take a General Studies program and a speech core that prepares them with the knowledge necessary to teach content within the context of both special education and general education. The education concentrations provide teacher preparation for effective instruction within the context of an inclusionary program. Students should consult with a Special Education faculty advisor for information regarding an added endorsement for early childhood or elementary education.

Special Education Core
The special education curriculum is organized into sequences of course work that provide students with guidance in program planning. They are comprised of course clusters that students may take in any order; however, students may not select courses from a higher numbered sequence until the courses in the previous sequence are successfully taken.

Speech Core
In addition to the special education core, majors in special education must complete the following speech core. The core provides a strong foundation in speech, language acquisition, and communication that will enhance the student's understanding of language development as related to special education.

Students who are interested in seeking dual licensure in special education and secondary education may replace the speech core with a different content area. They must consult an advisor in the area for content and General Studies requirements. Students who are not interested in pursuing dual licensure should take the speech core and follow the General Studies for elementary or early childhood education.

Education Concentrations
In addition to the special education and speech cores, students who major in special education will choose one of three education concentration areas: early childhood education, elementary education, or secondary education. This curriculum design is considered to be a significant program strength. The education concentration will allow the student to obtain content and experience in the regular education environment. It has long been recognized that the best special education teachers are those who have also been prepared for general professional education in addition to their special education training. These teachers are well versed in the scope and sequence of the typical education curriculum and can meet the educational needs of the exceptional learner in the inclusive classroom as well as the special education classroom. The courses for the three education concentration areas are as follows:

Early Childhood Education Concentration
ECE 2340 Foundations of Early Childhood Education....................3

Surveying and Mapping
Department of Engineering Technology and Industrial Design

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.

Teacher Education Department

The Department of Teacher Education offers professional preparation for teaching and education-related careers. This department prepares students to apply to the Colorado Department of Education for provisional teacher licensure and endorsement to teach in public schools in Colorado in bilingual education (add-on endorsement), early childhood (preschool through third grade), elementary (K-6th grade), K-12 education, secondary (7-12th grade) education, and special education, moderate needs: teacher I (ages 5 through 21). Minors are available in bilingual/bicultural education, early childhood education, elementary education, parent education, reading, secondary education, and special education. Courses and workshops are offered to meet Colorado Department of Education requirements for renewal of teacher licenses and Colorado Department of Human Services group leader and director qualifications.

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. Teacher Education programs were recently approved by the CCHE having met the new Colorado Performance-based Standards for Teachers.

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.

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 has been 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 were 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 program offered by the Teacher Education Department
• administrative services for the Teachers for Colorado Program, Denver Public Schools Paraprofessional to Teacher Program, and the Colorado Mountain College Paraprofessional to Teacher 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.

Equivalent courses will be credited when feasible and appropriate. Final approval of the individualized plan must be obtained from the designated advisor. Post baccalaureate students should begin the program by taking teacher education classes.

The admission criteria for post baccalaureate students seeking licensure include evidence of having at least a bachelor's degree and meeting the criteria for formal admission. Upon application to the teacher education programs, an official transcript from the accredited college where the candidate received the baccalaureate degree must be sent to the Transfer Center and a copy sent to the Teacher Education Center. Faculty in the Teacher Education Department, upon consultation with the appropriate content area faculty, will review the transcript for completed course work appropriate for the endorsement being sought. The post baccalaureate candidate must successfully complete any advisor identified courses in the content (endorsement) area, in addition to the professional sequence course work, as part of their approved teacher preparation program. It is STRONGLY recommended that post baccalaureate candidates demonstrate successful completion of the PLACE Content exam as soon as is practical.

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.

Language Proficiency Requirements
A satisfactory level of proficiency in Spanish reading, writing, listening and speaking is required of all Option 1 students. A high level of proficiency in Spanish reading, writing, listening and speaking is required of all Option 2 students. Levels of proficiency are determined by scores on the BYU Computerized Adaptive Proficiency Exam and by an oral exam given a committee composed of Spanish-speaking members of the Modern Languages and Chicana and Chicano Studies Departments. Students who fail to achieve the required cut score on the proficiency examination are required to take sufficient Spanish classes to enable them to pass at the required level. The following courses are designed to help students meet required proficiency levels before the completion of the bilingual/ bicultural minor:

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. Students seeking licensure need to complete additional requirements including gaining formal admission to the Teacher Education Program and student teaching. The minor does not include all teacher licensure courses.

The Technical Communications Department offers a B.A. degree in Technical Communications with four concentrations and a technical communications minor, and well as four certificate programs. The four concentrations are technical writing and editing, corporate communications, technical media, and multimedia production. Each concentration offers training in one or more technical 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 and lay publications produced by industry and government. The corporate communications concentration is designed for the person who desires to manage a technical publications unit. It provides students preparation in managing the flow of information within a company, government agency, or between industries and agencies, as well as setting standards for publications to reflect the culture of the organization. The technical media concentration meets two needs of industry and government: people prepared to design and implement internal training programs, and people seeking 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 four certificate programs are international technical writing, multimedia production, corporate video production, and technical writing and editing. These programs are designed to enhance the professional training and experience an individual already possesses in order to expand employment opportunities and advancement.

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, the minor, or a certificate program must confer with a department advisor because all degree and certificate plans are tailored to the career goals of the individual student.

Computerized document processing ability is required of all students majoring, minoring, or enrolled in a certificate program in the department. Students can meet this requirement by:

• providing documentary evidence at the time they see their department advisor of previous satisfactory completion of an academic or industrial training course in computer literacy and document processing.
• enrolling in an approved MSCD course in CMS or CSS in the semester following the declaration of their major, minor, or enrolling in a certificate program. The department advisor will work with the student to select the most appropriate course for the student’s academic needs.
  

All students completing the 42 credit hour major in the program must participate in assessment and complete a minor in a discipline other than technical communications. See the department for details.
