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

To assure the realization of our mission, the following 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 know-ledge, cultivate critical thinking, and devel-op values needed by every educated person. To this end, the General Education Core pro-vides a foundation for comprehensive, life-long learning and will enable a graduate to:

• Read and listen critically with under-standing.

• 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 infor-mation.

• Identify scientific principles related to responsible living.

Business Education Core The Business Core reflects the College's commitment 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 profes-sionalism 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 founda-tions, functions, and practices of business.

• Utilize computer technology.

• Develop effective job search skills and employment documentation.

The Davis College faculty, staff, and admin-istration 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 chairman-ship in the mathematics department and his position as director of the business depart-ment at Albert College, 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 Busi-ness College. The curriculum was gradually changed from Latin, German, Greek, calcu-lus, and epistolary writing to banking, mer-cantile 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 typewriters were added, mak-ing the College one of the best equipped in the United States. Stenotype and data proc-essing augmented the expanding curriculum.

In 1948, when Thurber became ill, his daugh- ter, Ruth L. Davis, became the third genera-tion of the Davis family to lead the school. In 1953, Davis Business College was among the first to be accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Business Schools. In 1964, it 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 ex-panded 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 Assis- tants. In 1991, Davis College was granted accreditation by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Asso-ciation.

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 con-ference, bringing nationally renowned authors to the institution. In 2008, the College was honored as one of Ohio’s best employers 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 stand-ards and continuing the College’s service to the community.

Transfer to Davis College

Students seeking credit for work completed at other colleges will need to request that official transcripts from each college attend-ed be mailed directly from that college to Da- vis 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. 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 determine the total number of credit hours which may be transferred. The Reg-istrar 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 de-gree 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. 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 experi-ence may be granted advanced standing upon proof of ability.

Transfer Policy for Regionally Accredited Schools

Credits earned at regionally accredited institutions are honored provided they are in-cluded 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 equiv-alent 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 (tech-nical areas) may be subject to validation by department faculty.

Transfer Policy for Non-Regionally Accredited Schools

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

1. The student is required to earn a GPA of 2.00 in the first 12 credit hours complet-ed at Davis College before credits can be transferred.

2. Credits may be accepted only upon the recommendation of the specific depart-ment in which the course work is offered.

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

Transferability of Credit

The acceptability of credits by other in-stitutions is solely the decision of the ac-cepting institution. However, the College does maintain articulation agreements with several local colleges in the Toledo area. Most importantly, as an institution accred-ited 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 quar-ter. See the Catalog Supplement for complete description of fees. Tuition and fees are sub-ject to change without notice. Students pay the same tuition and fees regardless of the state in which they reside.

Subsidized Stafford Loans

These loans are made primarily by banks and savings and loan associations.

Under this program 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 Staf-ford Loan may be up to $4,500. Students or parents of students need to complete a needs test form. Stafford Loans have a variable in-terest rate not to exceed 8.25%. When the family income is over $30,000, the amount of the loan may be reduced.

Unsubsidized Stafford Loans

Dependent students are eligible for a max-imum amount per academic year of $2,000; independent students are eligible for a max-imum amount per academic year of $6,000. Unsubsidized loans have a variable interest rate not to exceed 8.25%. Repayment 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 finan-cial aid per year for each student who is a dependent undergraduate attending at least six credit hours. The interest rate for this loan is variable 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 pro-gram 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 possibility for full-time employment during vacation. Employment un-der 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 demonstrat-ed need.

Department of DesignMission Statement and Purposes

In accordance with the mission of Davis Col-lege, the Chairperson and faculty of the De-sign Department view our commitment as follows:

• To prepare students for professional prac-tice by integrating the content areas of design production, design history, design criticism, and design aesthetics. We believe that to teach students to become respon-sive and responsible designers in contem-porary society design production alone is insufficient. Therefore, a discipline-based pedagogy is embraced by the Department.

• To provide instruction that promotes creativity, critical thinking, and problem solving and analysis. Understanding the nature of any design problem and develop-ing a creative and appropriate solution is prerequisite to implementing any technical application.

• To provide instruction that meets the tech-nical skill level required for positions in design. Technologies in design continue to change at a rapid pace. We are commit-ted to providing the student with relevant training that utilizes appropriate technol-ogy and equipment.

• To promote the students, programs, and curricula of the Design Department. The success of our programs lies in our ability to inform the public of the Design Depart-ment programs and the qualified students who are graduating each year. We are constantly searching for opportunities to pro-mote the Design Department and Davis College.

The Department Chairperson and faculty are committed to the pursuit of professional de-velopment opportunities to become better in-formed and more competent professionals and instructors.

Mid-Program and Final Assessment Review

A student enrolled in a Graphic Design or Interior Design program will participate in a portfolio review and interview upon com-pletion of the foundation courses and upon completion of the advanced level (200) courses to satisfy program requirements for graduation.

The first Portfolio Review is intended to as-sess the student's conceptual and technical abilities from the foundation area. The pur-pose of the review and interview is to ensure that the student possesses the necessary con-ceptual and technical skills before taking the advanced level (200) courses.

A second Portfolio Review near the end of the program is intended to ensure that the student possesses the necessary 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 representative of the student's career direction (i.e., graphic design or inte-rior design).

The following criteria will be used by the Committee to determine successful comple-tion of each Portfolio Review.

1. The work will demonstrate an acceptable level of competence.

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

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

If the student does not meet the criteria for successful portfolio review, the following recommendations may be made by the Committee:

1. The student may redo specific projects where conceptual and formal require-ments and/or technical ability were deter-mined unacceptable.

2. The student may retake specific courses where conceptual and formal require-ments and/or technical ability were deter-mined unacceptable.

3. The student may be advised to seek a ma-jor outside of the Design area but may still minor in the Design area. (This recommen-dation is only applicable when assessing Foundation Area abilities.)

The Portfolio Review Committee will be com-posed of the Department Chairperson, an in-structor from the major area declared by the student, and an instructor outside the major area but in the Design Department.
