COCC offers the associate of arts and associate of science degrees for students who plan to transfer. A transfer program might also be designed within the associate of general studies degree. Within each degree, students may select courses that meet both the requirements of the degree as well as prepare them for their intended major. Listed on the next several pages are subjects in which COCC offers special preparation and suggested courses that prepare a student for future study in that subject. In order to make the most of their coursework at COCC, students should work with an advisor as well as familiarize themselves with the requirements of the departments and schools they are considering for transfer. COCC s lower division (freshman and sophomore) courses are designed for transfer to baccalaureate colleges and universities. Transfer courses are designated with an alphanumeric course number of 00 or above, e.g., MTH 05. Oregon s public institutions normally accept up to 24 credit hours of transferable lower division courses. See pages 29 37 for a description of COCC s associate s degrees and detailed degree requirements.

EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION The two-year associate of arts in Early Childhood Education (ECE) degree program prepares students for transfer to a fouryear university for a baccalaureate degree in Early Childhood Education. The courses recommended below are specifically designed to allow students to receive an associate of arts degree from Central Oregon Community College, as well as meet lower-division prerequisite and baccalaureate core requirements for OSU-Cascades Campus, Human Development and Family Studies (HDFS) Early Childhood Development and Education program; contact OSU-Cascades, (54) 322-300, for further details. Students interested in transferring to another university should work closely with their advisor in order to select the most appropriate courses to meet transfer school requirements. The AAOT degree, with an emphasis in ECE, will prepare students to work with children in a variety of settings, including childhood care and education as well as social service agencies. Prerequisites Prior to the first ECE class, all students are required to show verification of the Oregon s Child Care Division Registry s criminal background check or provide proof of the State of Oregon Child Care Division (CCD) registry number. A background check application may be obtained through the Social Science department office in Modoc 203, (54) 383-7230. Other prerequisites for the ECE program are noted with each course description in the catalog. Note All Early Childhood Education classes (ED prefixes only) require three or more hours of weekly fieldwork in addition to required class meetings. Fieldwork must be completed with an agency other than current work setting.

FOREIGN LANGUAGE The Foreign Language program offers two years of instruction in French, German, Spanish and Italian. Instruction stresses oral expression and comprehension, as well as reading and composition. The program is designed for students interested in transferring to a baccalaureate college or university to earn a bachelor s degree. It also prepares students who are interested in careers which benefit from bilingual abilities such as the Foreign Service, international business, teaching, as well as social service and government jobs which serve non-english speaking people. Students successfully completing the first-year sequence of French, German, Italian or Spanish should be prepared to meet the proficiency requirement for entrance into any Oregon University System institution. Since foreign language proficiency requirements for bachelor s degrees are usually stated in terms of credit hours earned at the second-year level, students should complete both first- and second-year study at COCC to completely meet such requirements. All foreign language courses are taught mostly in the target language (French, German, Italian, Spanish) and student participation is required. Foreign Language (2 24 credit hours) Literature (ENG 07, 08, 09) Western Civilization (HST 0, 02, 03) FORESTRY RESOURCE SCIENCE This grouping of courses is designed primarily for students planning to transfer to Oregon State University to acquire a bachelor of science degree. Other universities in the western United States offering baccalaureate degrees in forestry have similar, but not identical, requirements.

HEALTH PROMOTION Careers in health promotion are multifaceted, as are the areas of further study. Careers include health promotion, health education/teaching health, working in various disciplines of public health, health science, health care administration and environmental health. This associate of arts program is designed as a broad-based degree in the area of health studies. It is also designed for maximum transferability to several specific health programs including: Portland State University (School of Community Health), Eastern Oregon University (School of Education), Eastern Washington University (School of Community Health Education), Boise State University (School of Education/ Health Promotion), Oregon State University (College of Health and Human Performance-Public Health Department), and Southern Oregon University Department of Health and Physical Education (Health Promotion/Fitness Management). 47

LAW Generally, schools of law require the completion of a baccalaureate degree and a sound performance on the Law School Admission Test before application for entry. A solid liberal arts education is an advantage. The Admission Committee for the School of Law at the University of Oregon also prefers... thorough training in some broad cultural field such as history, economics, government, literature or the classics. Competence in writing is a necessity and the rigor of letter-graded courses is preferred over work taken on a pass/no pass basis. Students interested in a career in law should check the requirements for admission to the university of their choice. Also, consult with a pre-law advisor: Jim Foster is available through Oregon State University Cascades Campus.

A student can spend two years at COCC and earn an AA or AS with a focus in recreation leadership while preparing to transfer to a four-year institution to pursue a recreation degree in any one of the above areas. The AA degree is designed for students who are not sure where they plan to transfer but know that they want to study recreation/outdoor recreation. The emphasis on liberal studies in the AA course list will give the student a strong general education base and will provide the student with a large number of easily transferable credits. The AS degree is especially good for students who plan to pursue the Outdoor Recreation Leadership & Tourism bachelor s degree through Oregon State University-Cascades Campus. The AS degree is also a good option for students who know they plan to transfer to a specific out-of-state institution. This degree provides more flexibility, allowing students and their advisor to tailor the degree for transfer to a specific four-year institution and to follow a more specific plan of study.
