Welcome to Great Basin College GBC CATALOG 2017-2018 1 A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT MARK A. CURTIS

Th ank you for choosing Great Basin College to either begin or continue your education. Our mission says it all “Great Basin College enriches people’s lives by providing student-centered post-secondary education to rural Nevada.” Enrichment comes by increasing the proportion of several valuable ingredients in the student’s life, namely knowledge, self-awareness, confi dence and revealed potential. Th e faculty and staff take great pride in placing students at the center of all they do; decisions are always made with the student’s wellbeing in mind. Additionally, you will also fi nd a wide array of post-secondary educational options to choose from. Th ese options include several career oriented certifi cates and associate degrees, transfer specifi c Associate of Arts and Associate of Science degrees and a continually growing array of bachelor’s level degrees that can be earned in their entirety from Great Basin College. And when talking about rural Nevada, GBC has real bragging rights; Great Basin College provides educational opportunities over an 86,514 square mile area covering Nevada’s ten most rural counties. Th is area is larger than 37 States in the U.S. and its two largest counties are individually larger than 9 of those States. Th e main campus in Elko is a comprehensive residential college with student housing. Centers are located in Battle Mountain, Ely, Pahrump and Winnemucca. An additional twenty-one communities across GBC’s ten county service area are connected via satellite allowing the two-way Welcome to Great Basin College to Great Welcome interactive delivery of college courses along with an ever expanding slate of online off erings that have received national recognition. In fact one rating organization ranks Great Basin College as fi rst in the nation for aff ordability.

Th ose who visit GBC are impressed by many things, the college’s culture of collegiality, its use of technology in serving students throughout rural Nevada, the college’s beautiful and well maintained buildings and grounds and our creative utilization of resources. Th ese common observations provide a vote of confi dence in the faculty and staff of Great Basin College and speak to just how well the institution is fulfi lling its stated mission.

Over 3,200 students are attending Great Basin College. Each year more than 500 of those students earn a degree or certifi cate. Great Basin College has built strong relationships with employers in the service area. GBC has worked collaboratively with the regional mining industry over many years. With industry support, GBC has developed 48-week accelerated Associate degree programs in fi ve technical areas. Over 90% of graduates from these programs are employed within a year of completion. Bachelor and associate degrees in health sciences and education provide graduates to supply the needs of local health care providers and school districts. “Growing our own” has become a strategy to provide a trained workforce for rural Nevada in jobs for which it is otherwise diffi cult to recruit and retain quality professionals. Th ese are just a few examples of partnerships GBC has developed over the years.

I trust you will fi nd Great Basin College an open and welcoming place to receive a superior education and I wish you well as you pursue your educational goals.

Sincerely,

Dr. Mark A. Curtis

What Is Academic Freedom and Responsibility? Academic freedom is an essential principle of higher education which facilitates the open exchange of ideas in the pursuit of knowledge. Academic freedom allows faculty, staff , students, and invited guests to research, discuss, and publish in an open academic setting, even when this “requires consideration of topics which may be politically, socially, or scientifi cally controversial” (NSHE Code Title 2 Section 2.1.2). Academic responsibility requires that such research, discussion, and publication be conducted in a civil manner, following “appropriate standards of scholarship and instruction” (NSHE Code Title 2 Section 2.1.3).

Great Basin College is committed to upholding the standards of academic freedom and responsibility, as described in the NSHE Code and the American Association of University Professors “Statement of Principles of Academic Freedom and Tenure.”

Reverse Transfer Agreement Th e Nevada System of Higher Education reverse transfer agreement allows students to earn their Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree from Great Basin College, even after transferring to a Nevada university or state college.

Th ere is no formal application for reverse transfer. Students interested in this option should contact an advisor at GBC to determine what courses they need to complete for their associate’s degree. Th ey will need to apply to graduate at GBC by October 15 for a December graduation or March 15 for a May graduation, and it is the student’s responsibility to have an offi cial transcript from their state college or university sent to GBC to confi rm that the fi nal courses were completed.

Complaints of retaliation under Title IX must be immediately provided to the Title IX coordinator.

8. False Reports. Because discrimination and sexual harassment frequently involve interactions between persons that are not witnessed by others, reports of discrimination or sexual harassment cannot always be substantiated by additional evidence. Lack of corroborating evidence or “proof” should not discourage individuals from reporting discrimination or sexual harassment under this policy. However, individuals who make reports that are later found to have been intentionally false or made maliciously without regard for truth, may be subject to disciplinary action under the applicable institution and Board of Regents disciplinary procedures.

Th is provision does not apply to reports made in good faith, even if Title 4 the facts alleged in the report cannot be substantiated by subsequent investigation.
