The State Council of Higher Education (SCHEV) monitors and coordinates statewide transfer policy and activities through the State Committee on Transfer. The SCHEV Transfer Program Tool provides information on the transferability of more than 60 commonly offered courses from the VCCS to specific four year institutions. The web address is http://www.schev.edu/Students/xfr.asp Many public and private universities and colleges in Virginia and surrounding areas publish a transfer guide to help students from VHCC and other schools in the Virginia Community College System (VCCS) determine appropriate transfer procedures and transfer course equivalencies.

These programs are designed for transfer and include choices that allow students to coordinate VHCC course work with lower division senior institution requirements. This booklet offers course suggestions for students and faculty advisors as they work together in coordinating transfer plans. Students are encouraged to follow VHCC. While VHCC provides transfer resources and information to assist students to determine the transfer admission policies and requirements of the department or program at the intended transfer institution. The information included in this booklet represents the most current information possible but does not list requirements for every four‐year degree. All education institutions may make changes to their academic programs without notice. Students should always consult with the appropriate colleges to determine current requirements. This guide is intended to be used in conjunction with VHCC and senior institution catalogs and other available materials. It is strongly recommended that you visit the campus and consult with advisors for firsthand information. This is an information and planning guide. It is strongly recommended that students interested in transferring consult with VHCC Division Counselors and the senior institution of their choice for assistance. Many four‐year public colleges and universities in Virginia accept the Associates in Arts and Sciences degree in its entirety in lieu of their core curriculum requirements and award junior status to transfer students. To help facilitate the transfer process, each state supported college and some private colleges In Virginia produce a “Virginia Community College Transfer Guide” These transfer guides provide specific information about the transferability of courses and/or programs to their respective institutions. Transfer guides can be obtained directly from the college of interest or students may also download many Virginia transfer guides on‐line at the following address: http://www.vccs.edu/transfer/ The State Council of Higher Education (SCHEV) monitors and coordinates statewide transfer policy and activities through the State Committee on Transfer on Transfer.

  • The Magazine for Alumni and Friends of Campbellsville University a Word from the President… August 2010
    VOL. 8, NO. 3 AUGUST 2010 The Magazine for Alumni and Friends of Campbellsville University A Word from the President… August 2010 Dear Alumni and Friends: The summer months have been a very busy and exciting time for all of us at Campbellsville University. We have had a record summer school enrollment of 669 students, strong attendance at the various summer camps and conferences held on campus, construction of the new 90-bed men’s housing facility, completion of the turf on the football/soccer field and lighting for football, soccer and baseball, numerous landscaping and renovation projects across campus, and preparation for the fall 2010 semester. There is an old adage that time passes quickly when you’re enjoying what you do. That is Dr. Michael V. Carter so very true when I pause to consider my time at Campbellsville University. Having just completed 11 years as president of Campbellsville University, and now begin- ning year number 12, it is humbling to consider the tremendous progress that Campbellsville University has made. Certainly, we must first express thanks to God for the abundance of His blessings. We have remained faithful to our heritage as a Christ-centered university, and God has been at the center of our movement forward. Second, the support of our many alumni and friends has enabled us to have the resources to offer the academic programs, improved facilities, and increased student services and activities to become an even better university. The hard work of the Board of Trustees, Church Relations Council, Advancement Board, Board of Alumni, Athletic Boosters, Big Maroon Club, and other groups has been crucial in our success.

  • CCCU Faculty Salary Survey 2016-17
    CCCU Faculty Salary Survey: 2016-17 Update by Nita Stemmler, Council for Christian Colleges & Universities Introduction. This is the thirty-third in an annual series of research reports conducted by the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities (CCCU). The purpose of this study is to provide CCCU Governing Member institutions with comparative and longitudinal salary data. The research has traditionally been based on information compiled for the AAUP, appearing in Academe each spring (for the current study, from March/April, 2017). Fifty-seven CCCU institutions of 111 US- based schools are not represented in the AAUP survey this year. For these members, the author used data surveyed by the CCCU. Nine schools are not represented in this study due to a lack of available data. Due to changes in CCCU membership categories, only governing members are included in this survey, however, we have added a new appendix based on Carnegie Classifications that allow us to include collaborative partners and affiliate members. Readers should keep in mind these data sources when considering any analysis. Schools in the group which did not report data to Academe but which did respond to the CCCU survey used the definitions from the AAUP survey to help attain similarity and comparability. Academe requests salary information based on a 9-month contract, and this has meant that some universities have had to recalculate salaries if significant numbers of faculty work a ten-month or eleven-month academic year. General Findings. Table I (below) summarizes the central tendencies for salaries, by rank, for the past ten years of the study period.

  • Lighthouse on the Hill: the Bluefield
    The Bluefield College Story Lighthouse on the Hill: Retired Senior Professor of History By: Rev. David M. Armbrister Resiliency! This is a word that aptly fits the story of Bluefield College. Financial issues have beset the school since its beginning, often giv- ing those directly associated with its operation, as well as those simply interested in its welfare, concern about its continuance as an education- al institution. If there had not been men and women of strong faith and characterized by their willingness to make great sacrifices, the college might not exist today. There would be no eighty-fifth anniversary celebration in 2007. We can be thankful for that band of men who made that trip to Bristol, Virginia in a day when travel was not easy. The enthusiasm and drive that they took with them established a model that others would follow in supporting a Baptist college and, initially, a fitting school equivalent to a high school for southwest Vir- ginia. The courage and determination that ac- companied their great belief that the school was in God’s plan continued to uplift and guide the institution through its early years. These same qualities and convictions have enabled the school to overcome its problems and emerge as one of Virginia’s leading institutions of higher learning today. The author of this work has sought to present this marvelous story in a manner that will cap- ture the unique spirit of this school and those who have been associated with it through the years. His prayer is that the story will awaken a new understanding of the service that the col- lege has rendered in its eighty-five years and provide the groundwork on which it can go for- ward in the years ahead.
