The results are reported to the Board of Regents each fall, as well as being posted on the college website and reported across the institution.
Life Skills Requirement Success in College and Life Course SCL-1001
Students must take a minimum of one credit of Life Skills as part of their degree programs. The primary course to fulfill this requirement is the one-credit Success in College and Life course: SCL-1001.

The three credit course will satisfy the Life Skills requirement in the same manner the one credit course does.
Students will learn best practices for academic, career, and personal success. Students will discover their individual strengths, interests, and values to create a personalized plan; select and utilize resources that are applicable to their growth and success; and engage as active and responsible members of the academic community.
Students who transfer in nine hours or more of recent (within the past 2 years), successful (2.0 average) college credit, received post high school, must still fulfill the Life Skills requirement; however, they may elect to substitute one of the following courses to meet the Life Skills requirement:

LEIS 1602 Total Wellness
LIS 1111 Research Skills
PSY 1103 Human Relations
PSY 1123 Stress Management
Any transfer course substitutions not listed above, but that may qualify as a life skills course, must be approved by the Director of Student Success Advising or their designee or the Professor of Student Success.

Biology Associate in Science Minimum of 61-68 credit hours Biology students strive to understand the fundamental processes of life. Their studies cover everything from plants and animals to fungi and bacteria. Courses cover a wide variety of subjects including microbiology, botany, ecological systems, comparative vertebrate anatomy, zoology, genetics and physiology. Within the biology concentration, students can focus on specialized areas such as environmental science, botany and zoology. A science degree with a concentration in biology gives a student the thorough academic background needed to pursue additional education at a four- year college or university. Once the student graduates with a bachelors degree, career opportunities become available in areas such as ecology, education, pollution control, medical technology, medicine, research, forestry, wildlife management, dentistry and pharmacology.

Child Development (Certificate) Certificate of Mastery Minimum of 18 credit hours Knowing you play a role in shaping a child’s imagination and education is priceless. That’s why Oklahoma City Community College offers four programs for students who are interested in pursuing careers in child development. You can earn an associate degree in arts in child development, an associate degree in applied science in child development, a certificate of mastery in child development, or a child development associate (CDA). Consult a faculty advisor to find out which program is best for you. The certificate program allows you to study courses in the field of child development without taking the general education classes that are required for an associate degree. In this program, you can learn the skills you need quickly so you can enter the job market. Another good thing about this option is that the college credits you earn will apply toward the associate in applied science or associate in arts degrees, so you can always come back to OCCC and further your education. Courses identified by "C" (or "B") within a program curriculum pattern must be completed with a grade of "C" (or "B" or better) by students majoring in that program.

Clinical Research Coordinator Program++ Associate in Applied Science Minimum of 65 credit hours* If you’re interested in working with doctors, research nurses and clinical research coordinators to perform studies involving research participants, then the clinical research program at Oklahoma City Community College is for you. At OCCC, you can earn an associate degree in applied science or a certificate of mastery in clinical research. The work you do in clinical research varies from employer to employer but will likely include tasks such as recruiting participants, obtaining informed consent, collecting participant data, entering that data and managing clinical research projects. The clinical research projects themselves are also varied and can range from clinical trials for new chemotherapy drugs, lupus medications, rheumatoid arthritis treatments and diabetes treatments to testing medical devices such as ventricular heart valves and new materials for wound healing. You must apply for admission to the clinical research program after being accepted for admission to OCCC. All program applications are reviewed by a selection committee. *This program operates on a cohort-based model. The General Education, Support, and Life Skills courses may be taken at any time, but the cohort will complete the Clinical Research Coordinator courses at the same time.

Computer Science - Management Information Systems (AS) Associate in Science Minimum of 62 credit hours If you are organized and analytical and interested in playing a role in company management, a career in Management Information Systems (MIS) could be right for you. MIS is a planned system of collecting, processing, storing and giving out data in the form of information needed to carry out the functions of a company’s management team. It involves analyzing computer-stored data relating to employees, business documents, technologies and procedures and using that data to aid in business decision-making processes. This career field is made up of a unique blend of computer system and business knowledge. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, employment of computer and information systems managers is expected to grow faster than average through the year 2016. OCCC provides a strong foundation in management information systems with excellent transfer to the University of Oklahoma and other four-year colleges and universities.

Pre-Medicine - Science with Chemistry Concentration Program Associate in Science Minimum of 61-64 credit hours If you want to be challenged every day, have an abundance of career opportunities and join a profession where you can truly have a chance to make a difference, the field of medicine could be a perfect choice for you. At Oklahoma City Community College, you can earn an associate degree in chemistry with a pre-medicine option. This will allow you to transfer to a four-year college or university so that you can complete any remaining prerequisites before you apply to a college of medicine. With a medical degree, you could eventually become a general practitioner, a specialist physician, a surgeon, a researcher or a teacher – just to name a few. And, beyond the immense satisfaction of making a positive difference in people’s lives, the rewards include financial stability, recognition among your peers and the ability to build lasting relationships with your patients.

Speech-Language Pathology Assistant Program ++ Associate in Applied Science Minimum of 61 credit hours Oklahoma City Community College offers the first and only speech-language pathology assistant (SLPA) program. If you are interested in working with clients or students who are experiencing communication delays and disorders, then this field of study is for you. Speech-language pathology assistants work in public schools and healthcare settings. Speech-language pathology assistants are prepared to work with licensed speech- language pathologists. Because there is a shortage of speech-language pathologists in Oklahoma, and the numbers of children and adults needing communication services are continuing to rise, the need for SLPAs is also increasing. OCCC SLPA graduates are qualified to apply for a license from the Oklahoma Board of Examiners for Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology (OBESPA) and a teaching credential for practice from the Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE). To apply for the SLPA program you must complete a two-part process. First, you must apply to the college to be an OCCC student. Secondly, you must apply to the SLPA program. Applications may be found online and are available February of each year. The deadline to submit your application is the first Friday in June. Applicants who are accepted begin program studies in August. Special application requirements and procedures must be followed. Students who are accepted into the program are selected based on a preferential point system. Courses identified by "C" within a program curriculum pattern must be completed with a grade of "C" or better by students majoring in this program.
