President’s MessageWhen people walk through our doors and commit themselves to success, great things happen. Time and again, the power of increasing knowledge, skills, confidence, and the power of gaining a valu-able education have changed students beyond their own expectations. We have served many of your grandparents, aunts, uncles, sons, and daughters of Toledo since even before the Civil War in this effort. We are proud of our tradition in providing this valuable service to our local community.

Our dedicated faculty and staff are committed to excellence. We exist to provide you with market-able skills. This clear focus allows us to serve you in a unique way. In fact, less than 5% of schools like ours have achieved the same accreditation* and quality standards as Davis College.

I personally welcome you to the tradition of suc-cess at Davis College and to the excitement of fulfilling and exceeding your own expectations. It truly is all about where you’re going.

Our mission is to provide marketable skills that enhance the employability of our graduates.

To assure the realization of our mission, the fol-lowing educational purposes, in addition to our program objectives, have been established.

General Education CoreThe General Education Core is an integral part of each associate degree program at Davis College. The purpose of the General Education Core is to impart common knowledge, cultivate critical thinking, and develop values needed by every edu-cated person. To this end, the General Education Core provides a foundation for comprehensive, life-long learning and will enable a graduate to:

•Read and listen critically with understanding.

•Write and speak clearly and effectively in stan-dard English.

•Apply critical thinking, abstract reasoning skills, and problem-solving methods.

•Describe the influences of cultural diversity.

•Locate, gather, process, and use information.

Business CoreThe Business Core reflects the College’s commit-ment to meeting the demands of the business community we serve and is an essential part of each associate degree program and promoted in all programs. The purpose of the Business Core is to develop character, teamwork, and professional-ism, all 21st century skills, valued by employers. To this end, the Business Core will enable a Davis College graduate to:

•Demonstrate professional behavior.

•Interact effectively with others.

•Demonstrate knowledge of the foundations, func-tions, and practices of business.

•Utilize computer technology.

•Develop effective job search skills and employ-ment documentation.

The Davis College faculty, staff, and administra-tion are committed to the mission and purposes of the College and, to this end, are committed to

provide the educational programs, services, envi-ronment, resources, and knowledge to assure its attainment.

HistoryIn 1881, Matthew H. Davis left his chairmanship in the mathematics department and his position as director of the business department at Albert College, Belleville, Ontario, to accept the manage-ment of Toledo Business College. The small school of 35 students, which had been established in 1858, rapidly grew to 350 students.

During the 23 years Davis directed the school, four other schools were absorbed, and the name was changed to Davis Business College. The curriculum was gradually changed from Latin, German, Greek, calculus, and epistolary writing to banking, mercantile trades, shorthand, and typing.

After Davis’ death in 1904, his son, Thurber P. Davis, left the University of Michigan to take over the management of Davis Business College. Under the leadership of the younger Davis, elec-tric typewriters were added, making the College one of the best equipped in the United States. Stenotype and data processing augmented the ex-panding curriculum.

In 1948, when Thurber became ill, his daughter, Ruth L. Davis, became the third generation of the Davis family to lead the school. In 1953, Davis Business College was among the first to be accred-ited by the Accrediting Commission for Business Schools. In 1964, the institution met commission requirements for a junior college of business. Office management, payroll accounting, and the Automation Institute were added to meet the growing needs of business and technology.

In 1983, John Lambert became President of Davis College. President Lambert expanded the curricu-lum to include allied health, aviation, computer, and graphic design programs, which doubled the College’s enrollment. In 1986, Davis met the requirements for accreditation by the American Association of Medical Assistants. In 1991, Davis College was granted accreditation by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association.

In 1993, Diane Brunner became the fifth presi-dent of Davis College. At the time of her ap-pointment, she was the youngest female college president in Ohio. In 2002, Davis College hosted its first student conference, bringing nationally renowned authors to the institution. In 2008, the

College was honored as one of Ohio’s best employ-ers by the Ohio Chamber of Commerce. Davis College also earned the Better Business Bureau® Torch Award for marketplace ethics.

As was true of all past Davis College leadership, President Brunner is dedicated to the promotion of higher educational standards and continuing the College’s service to the community. Admissions Requirements and ProceduresIt is a privilege to welcome to Davis College people who are ready to increase their knowledge, skills, and confidence and who understand the impor-tance of gaining a valuable education.

Transfer to Davis College

Students seeking credit for work completed at other colleges will need to request that official transcripts from each college attended be mailed directly from that college to Davis College. The student is responsible for requesting this official transcript; it is highly recommended that the transcript be received before the first quarter of attendance begins. Transcripts from other institu-tions become part of the student’s permanent aca-demic file and cannot be copied for distribution.

The Registrar will evaluate each transcript and determine the total number of credit hours which may be transferred. The Registrar may elect to accept general education courses which are not offered by Davis. The maximum number of credit hours transferred cannot exceed 50% of the total credit hours required in the program or 50% of the hours required in the major. At least one half of the credit hours required for an associate degree or diploma are required to be earned at Davis. In addition, the final 12 credit hours are required to be earned at Davis College. Additional informa-tion concerning this policy is available from the Registrar. Transferred credits will be counted as earned hours only and will not be calculated in the student’s grade point average.

Students with previous training or experience may be granted advanced standing upon proof of ability.

Transfer Policy for Regionally Accredited Schools

•Credits earned at regionally accredited institu-tions are honored provided they are included in the Davis program for which the student has enrolled and a minimum grade of “C” has been received.

•Credit may be awarded as course equivalent credit.

•Credit for coursework which has no Davis College equivalent may be awarded as elec-tive credit with a XXX000 course number (e.g., HUM000, Humanities elective).

•Coursework in the major technology (technical areas) may be subject to validation by depart-ment faculty.

Transfer Policy for Non-Regionally Accredited Schools

•Transfers from technical colleges, business colleges, and other schools lacking regional accreditation but having accreditation by an-other agency recognized by the Department of Education are evaluated as follows:

•The student is required to earn a GPA of 2.00 or

higher in the first 12 credit hours completed at Davis College before credits can be transferred. If the student does not meet this criterion, cred-its will not be transferred.

•Credits may be accepted only upon the recom-mendation of the specific department in which the course work is offered.

•Before credit is awarded, previous course work may be subject to validation by the department.

Transferability of Credit

The acceptability of credits by other institutions is solely the decision of the accepting institution. However, the College does maintain articula-tion agreements with several local colleges in the Toledo area. Most importantly, as an institution accredited by The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association, other regionally accredited schools will evaluate Davis College credits. Davis College makes no representations as to the acceptability of Davis College credits at other institutions.

Tuition and Fees

Tuition and fee charges are due and payable on or before the first day of each new quarter. See the Catalog Supplement for complete description of fees. Tuition and fees are subject to change with-out notice. Students pay the same tuition and fees regardless of the state in which they reside.

Student Body

The student population at Davis College is di-verse and dynamic. Ages of students range from 18-60, and the average age of the Davis College student is 32. Students attend class on a full- or part-time basis, day and/or evening, four days a week or less. Seventy-five percent of our students are working and 63% are raising children. One hundred percent are committed to learning mar-ketable skills.

Student Services

Career Services

One of the outstanding benefits of the College is the career services assistance which is available to students without additional cost. The mission of the Career Services Office is to provide recent graduates support in obtaining a job after college commensurate with their academic prepara-tion, capabilities, and personal goals. The Career Services Office is the graduates’ link to the busi-ness community. Assistance in resume writing strategies, career portfolio development, job search, and networking is available to students. Although securing of positions cannot be guar-

$3,500. The second-year Stafford Loan may be up to $4,500. Students or parents of students need to complete a needs test form. Stafford Loans have a fixed interest rate not to exceed 8.25%. When the family income is over $30,000, the amount of the loan may be reduced.

Unsubsidized loans have a fixed interest rate not to exceed 8.25%. Repayment begins six (6) months after gradua-tion, withdrawal from school, or if a student at-tends less than six credit hours. This loan can be in addition to the Subsidized Stafford Loan.

Parent Loans For Undergraduate Students (PLUS)

Parents of students may borrow up to the cost of education minus any other financial aid per year for each student who is a dependent undergradu-ate attending at least six credit hours. The inter-est rate for this loan is fixed with a cap at 9%. The borrower needs to begin repaying a PLUS loan within 60 days of the final check disbursed to the school for a loan period.

Federal Perkins Loan

Based on need and a minimum of attending six credit hours per quarter, this federal program provides loans with no repayment while the stu-dent is in college. Payment on this loan begins six (6) months after graduating or withdrawing from school at an interest rate of 5%.

Federal Work-Study Program (FWS)

The college is authorized to provide on- and/or off-campus employment to assist students whose applications for financial aid show need. Students work a maximum of 20 hours a week with the possibility for full-time employment dur-ing vacation. Employment under this program is dependent on federal funds and requires mini-mum attendance of six credit hours per quarter. Priority is given to the student with the greatest demonstrated need.

Department of Design

Mission Statement and Purposes

In accordance with the mission of Davis College, the Chairperson and faculty of the Design Depart-ment view our commitment as follows:

•To prepare students for professional practice by integrating the content areas of design produc-tion, design history, design criticism, and design aesthetics. We believe that to teach students to become responsive and responsible designers in contemporary society design production alone is insufficient. Therefore, a discipline-based peda-gogy is embraced by the Department.

•To provide instruction that promotes creativity, critical thinking, and problem solving and anal-ysis. Understanding the nature of any design problem and developing a creative and appropri-ate solution is prerequisite to implementing any technical application.

•To provide instruction that meets the technical skill level required for positions in design. Tech-nologies in design continue to change at a rapid pace. We are committed to providing the student with relevant training that utilizes appropriate technology and equipment.

•To promote the students, programs, and cur-ricula of the Design Department. The success of our programs lies in our ability to inform the public of the Design Department programs and the qualified students who are graduating each year. We are constantly searching for opportu-nities to promote the Design Department and Davis College.

•The Department Chairperson and faculty are committed to the pursuit of professional devel-opment opportunities to become better informed and more competent professionals and instruc-tors.

Mid-Program and End-of-Program Assessment

A student enrolled in any associate degree pro-gram in the design area will participate in a Mid-Program Assessment upon completion of the foundation courses. The assessment will consist of a portfolio review and interview to ensure that the student possesses the necessary conceptual and technical skills before taking the advanced level (200) courses.

An End-of-Program Assessment, consisting of a portfolio review and interview upon completion of the advanced level (200) courses, is intended to ensure that the student possesses the neces-sary skills for design positions and that the entire body of work is acceptable for job interviewing purposes.

A portfolio of 10 – 15 works should be submitted at each portfolio review. The work submitted at the second portfolio review should be representa-tive of the student’s career direction (i.e., graphic design, interior design, motion and visual effects, or website design).

The Portfolio Review Committee will be composed of the Department Chairperson, an instructor from the major area declared by the student, and an instructor outside the major area but in the Design Department. The following criteria will be used by the Committee to determine successful completion of each Portfolio Review:

•The work will demonstrate an acceptable level of competence.

•The student will be able to discuss his or her work in terms of form, content, intent, and use of materials.

•The student will have achieved a passing grade in all foundation courses as well as a 2.7 GPA in the Design Department courses.

•The student may redo specific projects where conceptual and formal requirements and/or tech-nical ability were determined unacceptable.

•The student may retake specific courses where conceptual and formal requirements and/or tech-nical ability were determined unacceptable.

•The student may be advised to seek a major outside of the Design area but may still minor in the Design area. (This recommendation is only applicable when assessing Foundation Area abilities.)
