ASSOCIATE OF ARTS DEGREE Biology Biologists are teachers in high schools, colleges, and universities. They also work as conservationists, nutritionists, laboratory technicians, foresters, rangers, sanitarians, marine biologists, and geneticists. Their working environment has as much variation as any career field: classrooms, laboratories, forests, national or state parks, state or municipal offices, agricultural research stations, oceanographic vessels, museums, zoos, greenhouses, medical laboratories, hospitals, deserts, tropical rain forests, or even the cold of the arctic regions. Biologically related jobs are predicted to increase much faster than most of the job market in the future. With recent advances in genetic research, many new doors are opening for biologists in such areas as medicine, synthesizing scarce biological molecules, and finding new food and energy sources.

ASSOCIATE OF ARTS DEGREE Teaching (AAT) This is a statewide AAT degree that all community colleges will offer. This degree includes courses that are required for any initial certification. The students will select the electives based on one of several criteria: preparation for the C-BASE, requirement for a specific teaching credential, or a required course at the institution to which they plan to transfer. The courses in the degree will transfer to any institution in the state of Missouri that accepts the AAT degree. Additional requirements for the AAT degree are a minimum GPA of 2.75, a minimum score of 235 on each section of the C-BASE, and completion of teacher education portfolio. Because GPA and C-BASE entrance score requirements vary by institution, it is important to work closely with your education advisor at Crowder and the institution to which you plan to transfer. Students must register with FCSR and have a clearance letter before completing any observation in schools.

ASSOCIATE OF SCIENCE DEGREE Nursing The purpose of the Crowder College Nursing program is to prepare graduates who can demonstrate entry-level competencies as registered nurses, to provide a foundation for continued learning, and to provide a multiple entry program where licensed practical nurses can enter with advanced standing or students may enter with no previous nursing education. The program is approved by the Missouri State Board of Nursing. Graduation from the nursing program does not guarantee eligibility to write the licensure exam. Eligibility is determined on an individual basis by Missouri State Board of Nursing based on the Missouri Nursing Practice Act section 335.066 (1-14). The nursing faculty strongly believes that the learner must be an active participant in the educational process. A wide variety of instructional methods are utilized in the process oriented nursing curriculum. Registered nurses function as an integral part of the health care team in many different roles. They are responsible for planning, implementing, and evaluating patient care as well as for the supervision of other health care workers. The nursing program is a multiple entry, limited admission program. A grade point average of 2.75 and a minimum ACT composite score of 19 are required for both levels of students. Students without previous nursing education (those who are NOT licensed practical nurses) enter the program at Level I. These students must have a minimum ACT Composite score of 19 and minimum 2.75 GPA and must complete Anatomy & Physiology I (BIOL 152) prior to beginning the nursing program. All accepted Nursing Students will be required to have an active Nurse Assistant Certification or EMT or Paramedic license prior to beginning for nursing course. Applications for Level I are accepted from April 15 to August 15 for the Neosho and Cassville program that begins in January. Applications are accepted from October 15 to February 15 for the Nevada Nursing program which begins in August. Licensed practical nurses are given credit for first year nursing classes and may enter the program at Level II. LPN’s entering with advanced standing must have a valid license to practice, be IV certified, and must have completed at least Anatomy and Physiology I and II and Survey of Chemistry before beginning the second level nursing sequence. Applications for Level II are accepted from April 15 to August 15 for the Neosho and Cassville program and October 15 to February 15 for the Nevada and McDonald County program.

ASSOCIATE OF SCIENCE DEGREE Occupational Therapy Assistant The Occupational Therapy Assistant program prepares graduates to demonstrate entry level competencies as an Occupational Therapy Assistant (OTA) and provides a strong foundation for continued learning. The Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant functions as a member of the health care team; working under the supervision of a licensed Occupational Therapist, the Occupational Therapy Assistant helps disabled people of all ages acquire, improve, or regain the ability to do all activities that have meaning, value, or purpose. The OTA curriculum combines biological and behavioral sciences, along with the theory and principles of Occupational Therapy. The program is built to support the standards of the American Occupational Therapy Association and prepares students to sit for the National Board Certification for Occupational Therapy Assistant Exam. The Crowder College Occupational Therapy Assistant Program has applied for accreditation and has been granted Developing Program Status by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), located at 4720 Montgomery Lane, P.O. Box 31220, Bethesda, MD 20824-1220. ACOTE’s telephone number c/o AOTA is (301) 652-AOTA. Once accreditation of the program has been obtained, its graduates will be eligible to sit for the national certification examination for the occupational therapy assistant administered by the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT). After successful completion of this exam, the individual will be a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA). In addition, most states require licensure in order to practice; however, state licenses are usually based on the rsults of the NBCOT Certification Examination. Note that a felony conviction may affect a graduate’s ability to sit for the NBCOT certification examination or attain state licensure. The Occupational Therapy faculty believes all humans learn: the way an individual responds to and uses the stimuli in their environment determines how and what is learned. The Occupational Therapy Assistant curriculum is delivered through the uses of multiple learning styles and a wide variety of teaching methods. The OTA program is a single entry, limited admission program. Students must have and maintain a 2.5 grade point average. Applications for the OTA program are accepted April 1st – August 1st of each year.

ASSOCIATE OF SCIENCE DEGREE Pre-Engineering The Associate in Science (A.S.) Pre-Engineering degree is a cooperative program between Crowder College and the School of Engineering at the Missouri University of Science & Technology. In addition, similar cooperative programs have been developed with the University of Missouri - Columbia and the University of Arkansas. The A.S. program does incorporate the essential course work for the first two years of study in any engineering field at other universities.

Some of the course requirements vary with the engineering departments cooperating in this program. Those requirements are marked with a (†). In such cases, students will need to consult with the advisor as to the appropriate class for a particular engineering major.

Crowder College and the School of Engineering at Missouri University of Science & Technology have instituted a co-admission advisement and counseling program for pre-engineering majors. Students enrolling at Crowder can be simultaneously enrolled at MUS&T. A smoother transition between the two institutions and a greater level of career counseling can be provided for students by allowing them to enroll in career development and other specified MUS&T classes on Crowder’s campus. Students are also allowed to participate in special pre-registration programs on the MUS&T campus.
