Spring 2010 CES Catalog

Spring 2010course catalogSpring 2010course catalogSpring 2010course catalog

Design Brief: This design uses a classical circular composition of mul-tiple elements of spring and photography to bring the eye around the canvas to the logo and then back down again to the name of the catalog. Balance is achieved through con-trasting use of spring colors and merged photography. It evokes the hope of new experiences, the vigor of begin-nings, and the promise that education is a tool for improve-ment in any area of one’s life.

Three times a year the College of Extended Studies publishes a free catalog listing courses available to the public. The catalog includes extension courses, certificate programs, and professional development seminars. You may pick up a copy

of the catalog at the College of Extended Studies or phone or mail us, and we will be happy to add you to our mailing list.

Message from the Dean

It’s hard to believe it’s springtime in December again. Well, maybe not quite spring, but at least time to distribute the

College of Extended Studies 2010 Spring Catalog.

We are very pleased to be continuing and expanding our own Education Stimulus Package. From grant funded programs for eligible unemployed, underemployed, and dislocated workers offered in collaboration with the San Diego Workforce Partnership (page 7) to federally funded programs for the military (page 41) and for military spouses (page 8) and fee reductions for high-demand leadership development programs (page 15) the College of Extended Studies is doing its part in bringing affordable, high quality education to the greater San Diego Community. Additionally, companies can become a Preferred Partner and enjoy an even more expanded level of education and training benefits through College of Extended Studies Programs.

In addition to our stimulus package, we will be continuing, expanding, and implementing programs to meet the needs of a broad range of community members. Accomplished and aspiring writers will discover multiple opportunities to both improve their skills and maybe even sign a writing contract at our 26th Annual Writers’ Conference, January 29-31 (page 69). Hospitality professionals will have an opportunity to learn from Jeff Campbell, Brinker Executive in Residence at SDSU’s School of Hospitality and Tourism, and other hospitality and tourism management experts to demystify the financial functions and concepts that underlie successful hospitality operations (page 45).

Interested in a career in biotech and the life sciences? Acquire or enhance your knowledge, skills, and tools required today to successfully manage product development and quality assurance projects in the life sciences industry. Whether your interest lies in medical devices, pharmaceuticals, or other biotech/life sciences fields the online Professional Biotechnology Project Management Certificate in Quality Assurance offered jointly with CSU Channel Islands and CSU Dominguez Hills (page 10) can open/expand career opportunities in this rapidly growing job market.

Every year in March, the month when spring officially starts, San Diego State University celebrates its relationship with the alumni, students, faculty, staff, and friends who have played a part in our rich and dynamic history. In addition to everything offered through the College of Extended Studies, be sure to join us in March for SDSU Month and celebrate what it means to be an Aztec for life.

Select from the Following Programs

Certificate programs are a key educational offering from SDSU’s College of Extended Studies. Thousands of people have benefited from completing an SDSU certificate program, and these programs continue to be one of the core competencies of the college. Expanding to meet the needs of the workforce, the college now offers many types of certificate programs including: professional certificates, open university

certificates, technology-related certificates, and online certificates.

Certificates are recognized by most employers as a significant academic accomplishment, and can lead to new jobs as well as promotions for those who obtain them. They are also typically more relevant and focused for today’s workforce than academic degrees and can be completed in a much shorter period of time.

Do you have to be a matriculated student to take Open University Certificate programs?You do not have to be matriculated to SDSU to enroll in an undergraduate Open University Certificate program. However, all students who are participating in an Advanced Graduate Certificate Program must APPLY to the University through CSU Mentor and be admitted to the university. This requires completing the application and submitting official transcripts that confirm that the student has a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution. Department application and admissions processes cannot substitute (though they may complement) the formal application and admissions process through CSU Mentor and Graduate Admissions. Students can earn no more than nine units prior to formally matriculating into the University. Students must be admitted into the University either prior to beginning their coursework, or in a semester where they are actively enrolled in program coursework. A student cannot retroactively apply to the University in order to be awarded a certificate for coursework already completed. Open University certificate programs are not open to students currently enrolled at SDSU.

What are the financial aid options?CES students are encouraged to check with various banks, credit unions, and lending institutions – many of which now offer private alternative loan programs for continuing education. For additional information, please contact the CES registration office at (619) 594-5152.

Are the courses for credit, and can they be applied toward a degree?Open University Certificate programs are offered for credit. Twenty-four units of non-matriculated resident credit may be applied toward an SDSU undergraduate degree.

How do I sign up?To obtain an application form for an undergraduate certificate program or for a brochure, please call professional development at (619) 594-6255. For advanced graduate certificate programs, see the first FAQ regarding CSU Mentor. You will then need to contact the SDSU department academic advisor and determine a plan of study. All available classes are published in the University’s course bulletin. A $35 application processing fee will be charged. Please make checks payable to SDSU Research Foundation.

Are Open University Certificate programs available to international students?International students who have satisfied the prerequisites may apply for admission to an Open University Certificate program. A TOEFL score of 550, or its equivalent, is required. However, Open University Certificate programs are not available to international students with an I-20 visa issued by another university. Contact the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for more information.

What is the cost?Open University Certificate programs cost $197 per unit.

To learn more about Open University Certificates, visit our web site at www.neverstoplearning.net.

The units earned from these courses may be considered for continuing education. Programs with course numbers under 100 offer professional development credit. Courses numbered 100 and above offer academic credit.

What if my company is paying for the classes?If your company is paying for the classes with a purchase order, please be sure the PO accompanies the registration. If paying by company check, please mail the check and registration to the College of Extended Studies Cashier, San Diego State University, 5250 Campanile Drive, San Diego, CA 92182-1919.

SAN DIEGO WORkFORCE PARTNERSHIP

San Diego Workforce Partnership and SDSU’s College of Extended Studies

The Workforce Partnership is committed to building a strong workforce in San Diego. SDSU and Workforce Partnership are working to ensure that the area has a skilled, work-ready workforce that allows area employers and businesses to thrive, and to ensure that individuals have the skills and tools they need to obtain and keep sustaining employment.

Am I eligible to have my tuition paid for?The federal Workforce Investment Act (WIA) program helps you find a job or train for a new career.

nAll adults, age 18 or older, are eligible to receive services. Additional intensive services are available to unemployed individuals who have been unable to obtain jobs through core services and those who are employed but need additional training services to reach self-sufficiency.

nApproved programs are completely free to approved clients.

nTo be eligible for the dislocated worker program, you must have received a lay off notice or have been laid off due to a company closure or mass layoff. You may also be eligible if you are currently unemployed and are unlikely to return to your prior occupation due to economic conditions in that industry.

nOne-Stop Career Centers provide services locally. The One-Stop Career Center near you will determine if you are eligible to receive free training from a provider. There are six locations around the SDSU area. For more information, and locations, visit www.SanDiegoAtWork.com.

Contact a Workforce One-Stop Career Center for application and approval first. For more information on courses, visit www.neverstoplearning.net/wfp.

Course CreditExtension and Professional Development Credit The maximum amount of extension credit which may be accepted toward the minimum requirements for the bachelor’s degree is 24 semester units.

A maximum of nine units in extension courses at San Diego State University may be accepted as part of the requirements for the master’s degree, subject to limitations described in the Graduate Bulletin.

Students enrolled in courses numbered X-397, X-997, and X-01 through X-79 earn professional development credit. These courses are designed to meet specific professional curricula and are not applicable to an SDSU degree.

Professional development courses numbered X-01 through X-49 are designated as lower division and X-50 through X-79 are designated as upper division. All records of extension and professional development credit are kept by the SDSU Office of the Registrar.

CertificatesThere is no limit to the number of certificate courses you may take. However, courses numbered X-01 through X-79 are professional advancement units offered to meet specific academic needs. Courses X-01 through X-49 are designated as lower division and X-50 through X-79 are designated as upper division. It is the prerogative of the academic department/college to determine if X-01 through X-79 level courses are applicable to a major, a minor, or toward specified electives. These courses are not acceptable toward advanced degree programs. All records of certificate credit are kept by the SDSU Office of the Registrar.

Special SessionsSpecial session course credit is resident credit and may be applied toward SDSU degree requirements. For undergraduate degrees, no more than 24 units may be taken prior to admission to SDSU; for graduate degrees, no more than nine.

NoncreditNoncredit courses receive no academic credit and are used for personal enrichment only. We cannot confirm completion of noncredit courses. If you plan to ask your instructor for verification of participation, you must attend all sessions and complete all assignments.

Continuing Education UnitsThe College of Extended Studies awards Continuing Education Units (CEUs) to persons enrolled in, and completing certain noncredit programs. One continuing education unit is defined as ten contact hours of participation in an organized continuing education experience under responsible sponsorship, capable direction, and qualified instruction. The primary purpose of the CEU is to provide a permanent record of the educational accomplishments of an individual who has completed a noncredit educational program. This record can be used to give employers and professional associations and societies a uniform measure of short-term educational programs completed by an individual. CEUs are not academic units and cannot be applied to degree work at institutions of higher education.

Open University Course CreditOpen University course credit is nonmatriculated resident credit. Students who have not been admitted to the University will still receive resident credit. Twenty-four units of Open University credit may be applied toward an SDSU undergraduate degree. For graduate students, not more than nine units of coursework taken in Open University prior to admission to an advanced degree or advanced certificate are acceptable on a program of study. Grades earned through Open University become part of the student’s SDSU scholastic average.

Grading Procedures/Auditing and CR/NCAuditors must pay the same fee as those taking the course for credit but will not be required to take examinations and will not receive a final grade. You may change from credit to audit, or letter grade to CR/NC, only during the first half of a credit extension course. To change status, complete an audit card at the College of Extended Studies registration office. Classes offered credit/no credit only may not be taken for a letter grade. For Open University grade change deadlines see page 54.

Teacher EducationOnly a limited number of extension credits may be applied toward a teaching credential. If you need assistance in your choice of courses, contact the College of Education. While most extension courses are acceptable toward teachers’ salary advancement requirements, teachers should contact their district office regarding the applicability of specific courses. Courses numbered TE X-397 or ED X997 are not acceptable for degree or credential pattern requirements but may be used as in-service credits only.

Course NumberingCourses numbered 80-99 are non-baccalaureate level and are not acceptable for a bachelor’s degree or general education requirement. Those numbered 100 through 299 are lower division (freshman and sophomore years); those numbered 300 through 499 are upper division (junior and senior years) and are intended for undergraduates. Those numbered 500 through 599 are upper division and also apply to advanced degrees when taken by students admitted to graduate standing. Those numbered 600 through 799 are strictly graduate courses; those numbered 800 through 899 are doctoral courses. Course numbers at the 900 level are reserved for graduate courses in certain professional curricula as part of advanced certificate, credential, and licensure programs and are specifically intended for students admitted to the University with postbaccalaureate classified standing. Courses numbered at the 900 level are not applicable to other graduate programs. Courses numbered X-01 through X-79, X-397, and X-997 are professional advancement units offered only through extension to meet specific academic needs of community groups. Courses X-01 through X-49 are designated as lower division and X-50 through X-79 and X-397 are designated as upper division. It is the prerogative of the academic department/college to determine if X-01 through X-79 level courses are applicable to a major, a minor, or toward specified electives. The X-01 through X-79 level courses are offered in conjunction with certificate programs only. Courses at the X-01 through X-79 level are not acceptable on advanced degree programs. Courses offered as X-397 and X-997 are not acceptable toward an undergraduate or graduate degree. Extended Studies students who eventually plan to pursue an undergraduate degree at SDSU should consult the sponsoring academic department to ascertain the applicability of X-01 through X-79 level courses offered in any certificate program toward their proposed course of study.

Transcripts (for credit courses only)All transcripts come from the SDSU Office of the Registrar. To get an official transcript, submit a written request to the University Cashier’s Office or the Extended Studies Cashier’s Office.

Library and ID CardsStudents wishing to check books out from the SDSU library must have a current ID card. To get a student ID card with photo, pay $5 to the Extended Studies Cashier after registering and present your receipt at the Photo ID office in the Aztec Card office located on the lower level of Aztec Center. Extended Studies ID cards are valid only for the duration of the class taken.

Returned Checks/ChargesIf your check or charge is returned by the bank for any reason, the cashier’s office will send a letter requesting payment for the amount of the original dishonored item plus a $35 dishonored payment charge. A $20 late fee will also be charged if applicable. The student has five days to pay the amount in cash, cashier’s check, or money order to the cashier’s office. Nonpayment of fees may result in cancellation of your registration and/or withholding of further services until all financial liabilities have been met. The state has the authority to withhold amounts owed to the University from any future state tax refund to which you may be entitled.

Students who have had checks returned may also be prohibited from writing checks in the future. If you have previously had a dishonored check, no personal checks, even from another person, are acceptable on your behalf.

Parking Fee RefundsFor the SDSU parking fee refund schedule, see the SDSU catalog. Refunds can be obtained at either the University or the CES cashier’s offices. The amount of refund is rounded down to the nearest dollar. No refund is made for amounts of less than $5. Refunds may be applied against other amounts due the University.

International StudentsRegardless of citizenship, all nonmatriculated international students (nonresidents) from non-English speaking countries registering for College of Extended Studies programs, must present a score of 550 or higher (using the paper version) or 213 or higher (using the computer version) on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).
