The following pre-major is recommended for students who are considering completing a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology after transferring to a four-year institution. It will help students to deepen their knowledge of Psychology as well as their overall understanding of individuals, societies and cultures, while completing the general education requirements for Associate degree. It is designed for students who have not decided upon a specific four-year college or university. Once a transfer school is selected, students are strongly encouraged to consult the Office of Advising, Transitions, and Student Success and the transfer institution’s catalog to select courses that will meet both Oakton and transfer institution requirements. For more information on course selection or program-specific advising, contact the Program Coordinator. Part time students should also consult the Office of Advising, Transition, and Student Success for part-time pre-major recommendations. Alternative General Education courses should be selected from those listed as “IAI” courses on pages 34-36 of the 2019-20 catalog.

Oakton Community College recognizes the broad diversity of religious beliefs of its constituencies. The College has embraced a practice of shared responsibility in the event a religious observance interferes with class work or assignments. Students who inform instructors in advance of an intended absence for a major religious observance will not be penalized. The instructor will make reasonable accommodations for students, which may include providing a make-up test, altering assignment dates, permitting a student to attend another section of the same course for a class period or similar remedies. Instructors are not responsible for teaching material again. Instructors should inform students of this practice at the beginning of the semester so that arrangements can be made accordingly. Similar consideration is accorded to faculty, staff and administrators and is provided for in the respective contracts.

43 Exploring Humanities Pre-major

Department Co-Chair: Mohamed Mehdi, 847-376-7287 or [email protected]

The Exploring Humanities pre-major is based on a range of offerings from the Humanities and Philosophy Department. This interdisciplinary pre-major combines materials and approaches from several different areas, including visual art, film, music, theater, literature, poetry, philosophy and popular media. Some courses include materials from all these disciplines, while others focus on a particular one. These courses use materials from the humanities to shed light on the cultural, artistic and intellectual movements and ideas that have shaped our societies, from ancient times to the present. This pre-major is suitable for students who are interested in liberal arts but are not yet decided on a particular discipline. This pre-major offers a broad introduction to many disciplines, and provides a good background for transferring into many liberal arts programs. Students who are interested in a particular discipline within the arts should consult the programs offered by the Art, English, and Music or Theater departments. The Exploring Humanities pre-major can be easily combined with one or more concentrations, including Women’s and Gender Studies, Global Studies, Peace and Social Justice Studies, Great Books and Environmental Studies. Students who take this interdisciplinary pre-major can also choose to focus on a specific area, such as art, music or film by taking several offerings in one of these disciplines over three to four semesters. The pre-major is designed for students who have not decided upon a specific four-year college or university. Once a transfer school is selected, students are strongly encouraged to consult the Office of Advising, Transitions, and Student Success and the transfer institution’s catalog to select courses that will meet both Oakton and transfer institution requirements. Part time students should also consult the Office of Advising, Transition, and Student Success for part-time pre-major recommendations. The recommended sequence of courses can be altered based on the interests of students and scheduling needs. Students should consult with the Co-Chair of the Humanities Department about alternative course selections and sequencing. General Education courses should be selected from those listed as “IAI” courses on pages 34-36.

45 Environmental Studies Pre-major

Program Co-Coordinators: Paul Gulezian, 847-376-7120, [email protected]; Marian Staats, 847-376-7103, [email protected]

Environmental Studies pre-major is recommended for students who are considering completing a Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Studies, Environmental Humanities, or Environmental Science after transferring to a four-year institution. It also offers a suitable pathway to a range of other undergraduate humanities, social science, or science programs. An undergraduate degree in Environmental Studies provides a strong foundation for graduate programs in environmental policy and science, as well as environmental law or public health. Interdisciplinary training in environmental studies develops students’ analytical thinking, problem solving, ethical reasoning, and advanced reading and writing so essential to strong communication skills. It therefore offers excellent preparation for a range of career options. The pre-major is designed for students who have not decided upon a specific four-year college or university. Once a transfer school is selected, students are strongly encouraged to consult the Office of Advising, Transitions, and Student Success and the transfer institution’s catalog to select courses that will meet both Oakton and transfer institution requirements. When registering for courses, students are advised to select ESC (Environmental Studies) designated course sections. For more information on course selection or program-specific advising, contact the program co-coordinators. Part time students should also consult the Office of Advising, Transition, and Student Success for part-time pre-major recommendations.

51 Philosophy Pre-major Department Co-Chair: Mohamed Mehdi, 847-376-7287 or [email protected] The Philosophy pre-major offers a suitable pathway to four year programs in Philosophy as well as a range of other humanities and social science programs. An undergraduate degree in philosophy is a good basis for many future graduate programs, as well as programs in law. The study of philosophy emphasizes the development of skills in analytical thinking, problem solving, ethical and political deliberation and advanced reading and writing. It therefore offers excellent preparation for a range of career options. Philosophy pre-majors should consider combining this pre-major with an Academic Concentration. Peace and Social Justice Studies, Global Studies, Great Books, Women’s and Gender Studies and Environmental Studies are concentrations that could easily be combined with a Philosophy pre-major. The recommended sequence of courses can be altered based on the interests of students and scheduling needs. Students should consult with the Co-Chair of the Philosophy Department about alternative course selections and sequencing. General Education courses should be selected from those listed as “IAI” courses on pages 34-36.

TOTAL SEMESTER CREDIT HOURS FOR THE PRE-MAJOR: 61-64

Note 1: Pre-major is a recommended sequence and selection of courses. For Associate in Arts degree requirements see page 38. Note 2: Secondary Education students major in the area they plan to teach, once they transfer to a College of Education (e,g, high school English teachers major in English, History teachers major in History, etc.). In addition, students will complete the required Education methods courses and student teaching at the transfer institution. To determine which courses to take within the area of study, students should consult their intended transfer institution and the Oakton pre-major in that discipline, if available. Some transfer institutions limit the overall number of credits they will accept as transfer toward a particular degree (e.g. a limit of 3 History courses allowed to transfer toward a BA in History). If the student has reached that limit and has not yet completed 60 credits toward an AA degree at Oakton, the student should choose general elective credits related to their field instead of credits in their discipline of study.

The following pre-major is recommended for students who are considering completing a Bachelor’s degree in Secondary Education in a Science or Math field after transferring to a four-year institution. It is designed for students who have not decided upon a specific four-year college or university. Education pre-majors are strongly encouraged to choose a transfer school as soon as possible. Once a transfer school is selected, students are encouraged to follow the specific notes for that school, consult the Education Coordinator and the Office of Advising, Transitions, and Student Success at Oakton, as well as the College of Education at the desired transfer school. A grade of “B” or better is required by Colleges of Education in EDN courses and PSY 201. An overall GPA of 2.75 or higher required for admission to most Colleges of Education. Students are highly encouraged to pass the Test of Academic Proficiency, or have the required minimum ACT or SAT scores, prior to admission in a College of Education. Students complete at least 45 pre-clinical hours in local K-12 schools as part of their Education courses at Oakton. Students are encouraged to use summer/winterim/interim sessions in order to spread out the work load. Maintaining the sequence of courses is recommended. For more information on course selection or program-specific advising, contact the program coordinator. Part time students should also consult the Office of Advising, Transition, and Student Success for part-time pre-major recommendations. Students placed in developmental English or Math are encouraged to maintain the recommended sequence of courses over more semesters. General Education courses should be selected from those listed as “IAI” courses on pages 34-36.

Department Chair: Joe Kotowski, 847-635-1268 or [email protected]

The Engineering curriculum is designed to prepare students to continue studies toward the baccalaureate degree in engineering in four-year colleges and universities. Since this curriculum places emphasis on mathematics and its applications in the sciences, students should possess skills in this area. Completion of this curriculum and compliance with other graduation requirements will enable the student to earn an Oakton A.S.E. degree and to continue working toward a wide choice of specialized fields of engineering, including mechanical, civil, electrical, computer, industrial, and aerospace engineering. Students should note that four-year colleges and universities vary in specific course and transfer requirements. Therefore, it is important that in selecting Oakton courses students consult the Engineering program coordinator or an Oakton counselor, as well as the catalog and/or admissions advisors at the senior institution to which transfer is intended. General education courses should be selected from those listed as “IAI” courses on pages 34-36.

69 Associate in Fine Arts (A.F.A.) – Art

Contact: Louis Pierozzi, 847-635-1838 or [email protected]

The curriculum in Fine Arts (Art) is designed to prepare students to continue studies toward the baccalaureate degree in art in four-year colleges and universities. Since this curriculum places emphasis on applied/studio courses as well as general education courses, graduates may find they will be required to take additional freshman and sophomore level general education courses after transfer. General education courses should be selected from those listed as “IAI” courses on pages 34-36. Illinois colleges and universities offer two different bachelor’s degrees in art: the professional Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) and the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree with a major in art. In general, the B.F.A. degree requires about 135 semester credits for completion, while the B.A. degree with a major in art requires 120 to 124 semester credits for completion. The B.F.A. degree generally requires more studio art courses than does the B.A. degree. In some colleges and universities, a B.A. degree requires competency in a foreign language, while the B.F.A. degree often does not. To transfer as a junior into either a B.F.A. program or B.A. program with a major in Art, after receiving an Oakton Associate in Fine Arts (Art) degree, students should follow the curriculum presented on the next page, in consultation with an advisor. Since transfer admission is competitive, completion of the associate degree does not guarantee admission. Most institutions require a portfolio review for admission to a B.F.A. program, for registration in advanced studio art courses, and/or for scholarship consideration. The curriculum in Art is consistent with the Illinois Articulation Initiative curriculum in this field. Public universities in Illinois, and many private four-year colleges and universities as well, have agreed to this curriculum. Students should consult with an advisor at the school to which they intend to transfer to confirm the school’s participation in the Illinois Articulation Initiative for the art major. Students who wish to major in Art Education should consult an Oakton advisor immediately upon entry to the College to ensure appropriate selection of courses.

Students should consult with an advisor at the school to which they intend to transfer to confirm the school’s participation in the Illinois Articulation Initiative for the music major. Admission to baccalaureate music programs is competitive. Completion of the degree does not guarantee admission either to the baccalaureate program or to upper-division or specialty music courses. Students may be required to demonstrate skill level through auditions and placement testing at the institution to which they transfer. In some colleges and universities, a baccalaureate degree in music may also require competency in a foreign language. Students who wish to major in Music Education should consult an Oakton advisor immediately upon entry to the College to ensure appropriate selection of courses. They may find it advisable to take additional Oakton courses that focus on learning to play and teach various instruments; for example, MUS 130, MUS 131, MUS 132, MUS 133, MUS 134, MUS 135, MUS 138, MUS 234, and MUS 235.

72 Music Pre-major Program Coordinator: Glenna Sprague, 847-635-1905, [email protected] The following pre-major is designed for students who are considering completing a Bachelor’s degree in Music after transferring to a four-year institution. It is intended for students who have not decided upon a specific four-year college or university. Once a transfer school is selected, students are strongly encouraged to consult the Office of Advising, Transitions, and Student Success and the transfer institution’s catalog to select courses that will meet both Oakton and transfer institution requirements. Since the curriculum places emphasis on applied/studio courses as well as general education courses, graduates may find they will be required to take additional freshman and sophomore level general education courses after transfer. For more information on course selection or program-specific advising, contact the program coordinator. Part time students should also consult the Office of Advising, Transition, and Student Success for part-time pre-major recommendations. General Education courses should be selected from those listed as “IAI” courses on pages 34-36.

At least one Global Studies course is required for degree completion. **Course fulfills the U.S. Diversity requirement. At least one U.S. Diversity course is required for degree completion. ***Course fulfills both, the Global Studies and U.S. Diversity requirements. †Transfer institutions may have a language requirement. Any Modern Language Intermediate II course can meet the Humanities and Global Studies requirements. 73 Special Areas of Study and Concentrations The Illinois Community College Board authorizes community colleges to offer a number of associate degrees. Most of these degrees are general in nature and do not reach the level of specialization associated with a major in the liberal arts and sciences at a four-year college or university. Oakton Community College offers students the opportunity to tailor their educational experience. A special area of study or concentration supports students interested in selecting courses in the liberal arts and sciences that focus on a specific subject. This benefits students by making interdisciplinary connections among various general education courses, by creating a community of learners with similar interests who take classes together, and by permitting students to engage in more in-depth study in their area of interest, while completing general education requirements. A student who successfully completes work in an Oakton special area of study or concentration will have an annotation on his or her official Oakton transcript noting this achievement. Upon request, the college will also provide a letter to transfer institutions affirming completion. These special areas of study and concentrations comply with Oakton prerequisite and degree requirements, including general education, course placements, and admission requirements for the Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree. Information about Oakton courses offered for students wishing to pursue bachelor’s degrees in science, computer science, or mathematics is on page 66.

Department Co-Chair and Student Advisor: Leslie Van Wolvelear, 847-376-7135 or [email protected]

Many business-related jobs require a bachelor’s degree. Students considering business as career can take ACC 153 and ACC 154 at Oakton. These two courses will transfer to four-year institutions and satisfy the accounting component of the business core. Transfer students may take other accounting courses to build skills, especially in accounting technology, but those courses will most likely not transfer to four-year institutions. There are other avenues for students considering careers in accounting. For students who do not plan to pursue bachelor’s degrees, Oakton’s Accounting curriculum provides the preparation to become staff accountants, tax preparers, payroll accountants, QuickBooks Certified Users, and Microsoft Excel Specialists. Students who already have bachelor’s degrees may consider any of the avenues in the above paragraph or they may pursue Oakton’s program to prepare for the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam. The curriculum offers a 63-credit-hour A.A.S. degree program and four accounting certificates: a 20-credit hour Accounting Technology Certificate that includes Excel, QuickBooks, and Cloud Accounting; an 18-credit-hour Income Tax Preparation Certificate that leads to the IRS enrolled agent exam; a 42-credit-hour certificate in accounting that includes accounting technology, taxation, ethics, and communications; and a 36-credit-hour Professional Accounting – CPA Preparation Certificate that leads to the national uniform CPA exam. Information for CPA (Certified Public Accountant) Exam Candidates For students working toward the CPA examination, Oakton is accredited with the Illinois Board of Examiners. Exam candidates with a master’s degree in accounting that is recognized by the Board of Examiners are immediately qualified to sit for the exam. CPA exam candidates without a master’s degree in accounting must successfully complete 150 hours of college/university credit, including a bachelor’s degree in any field. Within those 150 hours, there are some specific requirements: a) 30 semester hours in accounting. All accounting courses, with the exception of ACC 255, can be counted toward the 30 accounting hours required by the Illinois Board of Examiners. b) 24 semester credit hours of business courses (other than accounting). These business courses must include 3 credit hours of business ethics (BUS 107 or MGT 276) and 2 credit hours of business communication (embedded in MGT 118). For students that still need to satisfy the remaining business credits, Oakton recommends ECO 201, ECO 202, BUS 221, and BUS 222 because economics and business law are tested on the CPA exam. For information about the CPA exam, visit www.ilboe.org. For more information concerning the program, course transferability, or the CPA exam, contact the department co-chair or visit www.oakton.edu/accounting.

Course offerings include computer literacy; programming logic; programming languages; mobile programming; Web scripting; cascading style sheets; database-driven Web sites; Web authoring software; operating systems; technical writing; information systems management; systems analysis and design; project management; and database management including database concepts, SQL, Oracle database administrator, and database programming. Courses are also offered to create “just-in-time” short training modules to support basic training and updating of skills. Most courses are held in the computer lab where students receive hands-on training. Opportunities for internships are available. Oakton offers the A.A.S. Degree with emphasis in either Computer Programming or Computers and Information Systems. In addition, 12 certificate programs are offered. These include: Computer Programmer; PC Support Specialist; Oracle Database Administrator (DBA); Linux; Internet and Computer Core (IC3); Computer User; Microsoft Project Management Preparation; Management of Information Systems (MIS); Web Site Support and Maintenance; Web Site Developer; and Advanced Web Site Developer. The Computer Technology certificate gives the student an opportunity to select specific coursework as part of the “build your own” technology certificate. The General Programmer certificate gives the student the opportunity to select classes as part of a “build your own” programming curriculum. Many of these certificates may lead to Oracle, Linux, or Microsoft industry certifications. Students in Computer Information Systems (CIS) curricula must receive a minimum grade of C in all CIS, CAB, CNS, CSC, ELT, and MGT courses leading to a CIS degree or CIS certificate.

123 Health Information Technology

Department Chair: Hanna Wierzchowski, 847-635-1695 or [email protected]

Oakton’s Health Information Technology program offers several curricula in academic and technological studies designed to provide students with marketable skills within the health care industry. The program offers opportunities to combine disciplines of medicine, computer technology and information management. In addition to an A.A.S. degree, the program offers a certificate in Medical Coding and Billing. Both the full-time day and part-time evening A.A.S. degree and Medical Coding and Billing certificate are offered on the Des Plaines campus. Employment opportunities for individuals skilled in health information technologies exist in hospitals, ambulatory care, long-term care, managed care and physician practices, as well as non-traditional areas such as consulting, legal offices, industry vendors, insurance companies and pharmaceutical firms. Admission is limited for the A.A.S. degree, Medical Coding and Billing Certificate, and Cancer Registry Management Certificate. For additional information, contact a health career advisor. Those admitted to the program will be required to submit proof of medical insurance coverage. Students must receive a minimum grade of C in all HIT courses and in BIO 231 and BIO 232. Health Career curricula are governed by specific objectives, rules and regulations formulated by the College, accrediting bodies and participating clinical facilities. Students should familiarize themselves with these standards. Students should also be aware that failure to maintain satisfactory progress in technical courses may significantly delay completion of the curriculum or may result in the student being dropped from the curriculum. Each student’s right to participation in the clinical portion of the curriculum is also contingent upon compliance with the rules of the clinical facility. The clinical facility has sole discretion to determine when its rules have been violated. Clinical placements require a health assessment, certain immunizations, yearly flu vaccine, substance abuse testing, criminal background check, specific skill certification (i.e., CPR) and health insurance. These requirements represent an additional cost to the student. All Oakton Community College Health Career students in nursing, physical therapist assistant, medical laboratory technology, pharmacy technician, phlebotomy, health information technology, and medical assistant programs must have “clear” criminal background checks and drug screens in order to participate in any and all clinical components of any health career program courses. To comply with state statutes and clinical affiliation agreements, and to provide a safe environment for students, employees, and patients cared for by students, those accepted into Oakton’s health career programs will be required to complete a criminal background check and drug screening through a company contracted by the College. Health Career students will be charged a fee for this service. Timelines for completing criminal background checks and drug screens may vary among the various programs. Deadline dates for each program will be provided by the individual department chairs at the time of a student’s acceptance into a health career program. Students without a clear criminal background check and/or clear drug screen will not be allowed to enroll in clinical practicum courses or attend clinical programs. This would further necessitate that the student withdraw from the health career program at that time. Students who refuse a criminal background check and/or drug screen will not be considered “clear” and will not be authorized to participate in the clinical component of the health career program, necessitating withdrawal from the program at that time. Individual results of student background checks and drug screens are considered confidential. Determination of whether or not a student can participate in the clinical component of a particular health career program will be communicated to the respective department chairs by the Background Check/Drug Screen vendor. Students may view their personal results on the vendor’s website.

Associate in Applied Science in Health Information Technology This program prepares graduates for positions in health information management, clinical data specialist, medical coding, record processing, quality assurance, utilization management and reimbursement in the prospective payment system. This program combines academic and technical studies as well as a professional practice experience in medical facilities and related settings. Students must be available for professional practice placement during daytime business hours and are required to provide their own transportation to assigned sites. Graduates of the Associate Degree program qualify to take the national certification examination, the RHIT (Registered Health Information Technician), given by the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA). The Health Information Technology program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Health Informatics and Information Management Education (CAHIIM), in cooperation with AHIMA’s Council on Accreditation. Students may complete a B.S. in Health Information Administration by transferring credits to a senior institution offering this program. This is a limited enrollment curriculum.

Foreign high school graduates or students with foreign college credits need to send English translated copies of their transcripts to Educational Perspectives, www.edperspective.org/oakton. Students with foreign college credit should request a catalog match. • ACT score of 18 or higher, or SAT score of 960 or higher, or 12 hours of college credit with a minimum GPA of 2.75, with at least four credit hours of laboratory science. • One year of high school biology (with laboratory) or BIO 101 or the equivalent and one year of high school physics (with laboratory) or PHY 101 or the equivalent (completed within the last five years with a minimum grade of C). • Completion of Oakton composition placement test, placing into EGL 101, or evidence of credit in EGL 101 or its equivalent. • Native English Accuplacer® Reading Assessment test, taken at Oakton’s Testing Center, with a minimum score of 250. Scores from multiple attempts will be averaged. • Completed observation at a physical therapy facility for a minimum of 20 hours, with at least 10 hours of observation and written recommendations from both a PT and a PTA. • PTA application checklist and signature page. • Interview with and consent of PTA faculty. Applicants who meet all minimum requirements are ranked for acceptance to the program. All students admitted to the program must submit a current and complete physical examination record and proof of medical insurance before registration for PTA clinical courses. Health Career curricula are governed by specific objectives, rules and regulations formulated by the College, accrediting bodies and participating clinical facilities. Students should familiarize themselves with these standards. Students should also be aware that failure to maintain satisfactory progress in technical courses may significantly delay completion of the curriculum or may result in the student being dropped from the curriculum. Each student’s right to participation in the clinical portion of the curriculum is also contingent upon compliance with the rules of the clinical facility. The clinical facility has sole discretion to determine when its rules have been violated. Clinical placements require a health assessment, certain immunizations, yearly flu vaccine, substance abuse testing, criminal background check, specific skill certification (i.e., CPR) and health insurance. These requirements represent an additional cost to the student. All Oakton Community College Health Career students in nursing, physical therapist assistant, medical laboratory technology, pharmacy technician, phlebotomy, health information technology, and medical assistant programs must have “clear” criminal background checks and drug screens in order to participate in any and all clinical components of any health career program courses. To comply with state statutes and clinical affiliation agreements, and to provide a safe environment for students, employees, and patients cared for by students, those accepted into Oakton’s health career programs will be required to complete a criminal background check and drug screening through a company contracted by the College. Health Career students will be charged a fee for this service. Timelines for completing criminal background checks and drug screens may vary among the various programs. Deadline dates for each program will be provided by the individual department chairs at the time of a student’s acceptance into a health career program. Students without a clear criminal background check and/or clear drug screen will not be allowed to enroll in clinical practicum courses or attend clinical programs. This would further necessitate that the student withdraw from the health career program at that time. Students who refuse a criminal background check and/or drug screen will not be considered “clear” and will not be authorized to participate in the clinical component of the health career program, necessitating withdrawal from the program at that time. Individual results of student background checks and drug screens are considered confidential. Determination of whether or not a student can participate in the clinical component of a particular health career program will be communicated to the respective department chairs by the Background Check/Drug Screen vendor. Students may view their personal results on the vendor’s website. Note: Persons with a criminal felony conviction may have difficulty obtaining a license to practice PTA in Illinois. Individuals may refer questions to the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, Springfield, IL, www.idfpr.com.
