1 Department of Business and Computer Information Systems Tesheena Banks 2005 graduate of Port Arthur Memorial High School Major: Medical Office Administration A family member told me about Lamar State College-Port Arthur, including how affordable and convenient the campus is. I realized that going off to college was too expensive, so I decided to give Lamar-PA a try. It s wonderful. I was surprised to find that it is a lot less expensive that other schools for the same courses! I work at a local hospital, and I need to schedule classes around my work. The scheduling at this school is very accommodating.

2 144 Business and Computer Information Systems Department of Business and Computer Information Systems The Department of Business and Computer Information Systems reflects and builds on the instructional as well as the college s service mission. A component of the instructional mission is to provide the finest vocational-technical education possible within the available physical and financial resources. To accomplish this goal, each Business and CIS program is a carefully-sequenced set of courses designed around student outcomes. The programs prepare associate degree and certificate students who have, in addition to technical skills, the ability to work effectively with others, solve problems, make decisions and adapt to change. The humanities educational component develops the skills and attitudes necessary for students to succeed in a complex and dynamic work environment and the ability to make judgments reflective of human values. To amplify the college s service mission, the Business/CIS student organizational activities endeavor to encourage civic pride and responsible citizenship through community service and to produce a well-rounded individual who appreciates the value of diverse cultures. The department maintains a highly qualified faculty committed to teaching excellence and professional development; a faculty who continually update and strengthen programs with advisory committee involvement to develop programs that are responsive to the employment needs of business, industry, public agencies and entrepreneurship. Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs Accreditation The Department of Business and CIS received accreditation from the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs in 1992 and was reaffirmed in 1999 following a self-study and an ACBSP committee visit. American Bar Association The Legal Assistant program was granted approval by the House of Delegates of the American Bar Association on February 14, 2000, after an extensive self-study and a site visit. Accounting The program objective is to prepare accountants capable of performing effectively in an entry-level position on an accounting track in business, government or education.

The ASSET Placement Examination is used to determine the student s proficiency in basic reading, writing, and math. Students who do not achieve acceptable minimum scores in one or more of these areas must enroll in LC 104, 105, and/or 106. These non-course-based developmental reading, writing, or math sections provide students with opportunities to correct deficiencies. Successful remediation is demonstrated through a second ASSET exam. Students who remain deficient in fundamental skills may be required to successfully complete the appropriate course-based developmental class as a prerequisite to graduation.
