Davis College MissionDavis College, a private, two-year institution of higher education, serves our community by of-fering quality educational programs and services that meet the ever-changing demands of busi-ness. Our mission is to provide marketable skills that enhance the employability of our graduates.

To assure the realization of our mission, the follow-ing 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 think-ing, and develop values needed by every educated 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 standard English.

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

• Describe the influences of cultural diversity. Locate, gather, process, and use information.

• Identify scientific principles related to responsible living.

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 professionalism 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, functions, and practices of business.

3

• Utilize computer technology.

• Develop effective job search skills and employment documentation.

The Davis College faculty, staff, and administration are committed to the mission and purposes of the College and, to this end, are committed to provide the educational programs, services, environment, 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 Col-lege, Belleville, Ontario, to accept the management 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, mercan-tile 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, electric typewrit-ers were added, making the College one of the best equipped in the United States. Stenotype and data processing augmented the expanding 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 Busi-ness 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 Col-lege. President Lambert expanded the curriculum 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 ac-creditation by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association.

In 1993 Diane Brunner became the fifth president of Davis College. At the time of her appointment, she was the youngest female college president in Ohio. In 2002, Davis College hosted its first student confer-ence, bringing nationally renowned authors to the in-stitution. In 2008, the College was honored as one of Ohio’s best employers by the Ohio Chamber of Com-merce. 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 Col-lege’s service to the community.

Admissions RequirementsApplicants who have completed high school gradua-tion requirements or have successfully completed the General Education Development Test (GED) and have successfully completed the other admissions require-ments of the College are eligible to apply for admis-sion. Formal acceptance to Davis College will be de-termined once verification of successful completion of high school or GED requirements has been obtained.

5

GED TestingIf you desire to attend Davis College but need your GED, GED testing is available through the Adult Basic Education program at Washington Local Schools and Lucas County Educational Service Center. Please call admissions for more information.

Transfer to Davis CollegeStudents 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 re-sponsible for requesting this official transcript; it is highly recommended that the transcript be received before the first quarter of attendance begins. Tran-scripts from other institutions become part of the student’s permanent academic file and cannot be copied for distribution.

The Registrar will evaluate each transcript and de-termine 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 information concerning this policy is available from the Registrar. Trans-ferred 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 SchoolsCredits earned at regionally accredited institutions 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 elective credit with a XXX000 course number (e.g., HUM000, Humanities elective).

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

Transfer Policy for Non-Regionally Accredited SchoolsTransfers from technical colleges, business colleges, and other schools lacking regional accreditation but having accreditation by another 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, credits will not be transferred.

• Credits may be accepted only upon the recommen-dation 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.

6

Transferability of CreditThe acceptability of credits by other institutions is solely the decision of the accepting institution. However, the College does maintain articulation 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 accept-ability of Davis College credits at other institutions.

Tuition and FeesTuition 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 without notice. Students pay the same tuition and fees regardless of the state in which they reside.

Student BodyThe student population at Davis College is diverse and dynamic. Ages of students range from 18-60, and the average age of the Davis College student is 30. Students attend class on a full- or part-time basis, day and/or evening, four days a week or less (no Friday classes). Seventy-five percent of our students are working and 64% are raising children. One hundred percent are committed to learning marketable skills.

William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan (Direct Loan) Program

Subsidized Stafford LoansThese loans are made by the Department of Educa-tion. While the student is in college, the federal government pays the full interest; after separation from college, the student assumes repayment and the full annual interest on the loan. Under this pro-gram a dependent student may be able to borrow $3,500 each academic year; independent students may also be able to borrow up to $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. Repayment on this loan begins six (6) months after graduation, withdrawal from school, or if a student attends less than six credit hours.

Unsubsidized Stafford LoansDependent student are eligible for a maximum amount per academic year of $2,000; independent students are eligible for a maximum amount per academic year of $6,000. Unsubsidized loans have a fixed interest rate not to exceed 8.25%. Repay-ment begins six (6) months after graduation or withdrawal from school or if a student attends 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 undergraduate attending at least six credit hours. The interest 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 LoanBased on need and a minimum of attending six credit hours per quarter, this federal program provides loans with no repayment while the student 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 pos-sibility for full-time employment during vacation. Employment under this program is dependent on federal funds and requires minimum attendance of six credit hours per quarter. Priority is given to the student with the greatest demonstrated need.

Veterans Administration BenefitsVeterans, widows, wives of disabled veterans, and war orphans may be eligible for education benefits. The necessary Veterans Administration (VA) forms can be obtained and completed at the College. The VA student enrolling should submit the following:
