Moorpark College Nursing Program is studying a prerequisite system based on a formula that takes into consideration-overall GPA, GPA in core biological sciences (Anatomy, Physiology and Microbiology), number of repeats in the core biological sciences, and English GPA. The composite of these factors generates a cut score which will need to be obtained to be admitted into the nursing program. The program is in the process of determining the cut score and anticipate it will be published on the Moorpark College Health Sciences Nursing website Fall 2006 (www.moorparkcollege.edu) with expected implementation in Fall 2007. If there are any questions regarding this prerequisite system contact Kim Hoffmans, Coordinator of Health Sciences, (805) 378-1400 ext. 1706. Enrollment Process • Upon meeting the qualifying requirements (Step 1) and the Prerequisite Science Courses (Step 3) with a C or better and an overall GPA of 2.5 or better, students may submit an application to a Nursing Counselor from September 1 to October 15 or February 15 to March 15 of each year. All official College and High School transcripts must be submitted with the application. • After a random selection of qualified applicants (meeting the minimum prerequisite score), a number will be assigned to each applicant, and the applicant’s name will be placed on a waiting list: Each applicant’s number will indicate his/her place in “LINE” to enter the program. Applicants are admitted to the nursing program by number order. • There will be alternates selected for each admission class to serve on standby for admission until the end of the first week of class. If not admitted, these alternates will be first admissions into the next class. • The Health Science Department will contact applicants regarding program enrollment a semester prior. • Admission may be denied to an applicant who has failed or withdrew failing from a program and whose overall record makes program completion unlikely (example: two program withdrawals); or who has health and/or safety deficits which place clients at risk.

Dean Victoria Bortolussi, Phone (805) 378-1459 Full-time Faculty Balazs Becht, Clinton Harper, Ron Wallingford Counselors Donna Proske Allyn, Edna Ingram, Danita Redd Degree Options in Physics To earn an Associate in Art Degree with a major in Physics, students complete 45-50 specified units, plus General Education Degree Requirements. These major requirements optimize preparation for upper division course work for advanced degrees in Physics offered by four-year institutions. Since the course work in physics is sequential, students may spend less time earning an Associate and/or Bachelor’s Degree by deferring some of the university general education requirements until their junior and senior years and by giving priority to the requirements for a major in physics. In addition, earning this degree suggests an achievement of technical skills that may be helpful in seeking immediate employment.

Transfer credit: CSU Physiology See Courses in Biological Sciences Political Science The study of government and politics is the study of how people are governed and how they govern themselves. We examine the process by which scarce resources are allocated to an expanding population with ever-increasing demands. We look at American politics as an experience in “self-government” and realize that our system is quite different from the political systems developed by other countries. The study of politics includes the examination of how diversity impacts American politics. Our discipline also seeks to understand how nations deal with each other and what kinds of issues are likely to separate them – and how they resolve international conflict. A number of political science courses help prepare students for specific careers. For example, political science is often used as a pre-law major or for other related professions, such as careers in government at the federal, state or local levels. Our discipline is also appropriate for a number of other non-government professions and our faculty invite your questions about such opportunities Dean Al Nordquist, Phone (805) 378-1445 Full-time Faculty Gerald Bridgeman, Ron Dyste, Jack Miller, Steven Pfeffer Counselors Anitra Evans, Michael Johnson, Pam Kennedy-Luna Transfer Information Students planning to transfer need to consult with a counselor, prepare a Student Education Plan, and take advantage of support services available in the Transfer Center (Admin.

Work Experience and Internships The Moorpark College Career Services Center coordinates the Work Experience and Internship Program, offering students two basic routes for receiving credit for onthe- job learning: General and Occupational Work Experience. These opportunities are provided in compliance with Title V Cooperative Work Experience Education regulations to ensure an effective learning experience for the students involved. The Center helps connect students to work experience opportunities made available through local business and industry, but students can also turn an existing job into a part of the program, if the work experience involves new or expanded learning. Contact the Career Services Center (located in Campus Center) with any questions or to apply: (805) 378-1536. Dean Patricia Ewins, Phone (805) 378-1512 Basic Definitions and Guidelines General Work Experience provides on-the-job learning that develops effective work habits, attitudes, and behaviors that are applicable in most work environments. This emphasis builds on core competencies needed for career success and advancement that were initially identified in the Secretary’s Commission on Acquiring Necessary Skills (SCANS) for the workplace and encourages the exploration of establishing an effective career/educational goal. Students sign-up for WEXP M10 to receive credit for their work, earning up to 6 units, with a 3-unit maximum enrollment per semester*. Moorpark College Catalog 2006/07 178 Work Experience/Internships Work Experience/Internships Occupational Work Experience connects actual classroom learning to targeted work experience opportunities in a field related to a student’s stated educational major or career goal. Typically, students would sign-up for WEXP M20 to receive credit for this occupational work experience. Some programs (Child Development, EATM, Multimedia, for examples) have developed specialized relationships with area businesses, so coordinate Internships under the M80 course designation. These internships are closely related to the completion of department-specified course work and are advised by a faculty member in the discipline. With either option, the student’s work experience is matched to identified interests and training needs. In total, students can earn up to a total of 16 units, with a 4-unit maximum per semester*. Requirements: To take advantage of the Work Experience and Internship Program, a student needs to be enrolled in at least seven units each semester, but that total can include the work experience course itself. The type of on-the-job learning being pursued (general, occupational, internship) determines how many total units can be earned in any given semester. Students must complete 60 hours of unpaid work or 75 hours of paid work for every unit earned. Students are matched to appropriate jobs and faculty supervisors through the Career Services Center. In total, students can earn up to a total of 16 units, with a 4-unit maximum per semester*. *An Exception for One Semester: Over the summer (or over any one semester), students can earn more than the maximum units of work experience typically allowed any given semester. This exception requires that the student has completed at least seven units of college credit, is enrolled for the next semester of classes, and is taking no more than one class in addition to the work experience course during the current semester. If those special requirements are met, a student can earn a maximum of 6 units of general work experience or 8 units of occupational work experience in one semester. The same hours of unpaid vs. paid work is required to earn a unit. Support Courses: The primary goal of the Work Experience and Internship Program is to maximize on-the-job learning for participating students. However, to truly be effective in a chosen field, students also need to develop techniques and skills that will help them search for jobs most effectively and to get the jobs they seek. To address these ongoing needs, several short, half-unit courses have been developed focusing on career trends, resume writing, and interviewing strategies.
