GENERAL INFORMATION 3 Welcome to Cochise College Dear Students, Cochise College provides accessible educational opportunities that are responsive to a diverse population and lead to constructive citizenship, meaningful careers, and lifelong learning. This is our mission; it serves as a guide for all of the College’s activities. As students, your guide is this publication - the 2005-2006 Cochise College catalog. It includes specific information to help you achieve the education you seek. We provide programs in dozens of areas, and our affordable tuition gives you options. You can com- plete the first two years of a bachelor’s degree and transfer to a uni- versity, earn a degree or certificate that will prepare you to enter the job market immediately, or take a few classes to improve your skills. This catalog also is available in an interactive, digital format on our website. Access it by downloading the Desktop Schedule Planner at www.cochise.edu. You can use this tool to plan your class sched- ule, learn about the admissions and financial aid processes, and find out about athletic programs and non-credit offerings. On behalf of the Cochise College Governing Board, administra- tion, faculty and staff, welcome to our learning community. We look forward to helping you reach your goals! Sincerely, Karen A.

Kerry Henrickson’s Human Anatomy and Physiology students respond to questions posed in class by simply pushing a button. Each student owns a “Who Wants to be a Millionaire”- style clicker that allows them to answer multiple-choice questions by sending a signal to a receiver; class answers are summarized in a bar graph projected onto a screen, but individual answers remain anonymous.“It’s pretty cool technology for engaging otherwise quiet or unresponsive students,” Henrickson says.
