LAW ENFORCEMENT ACADEMY PROGRAM A comprehensive Basic Peace Officer Licensure Certificate Program designed to prepare the student for employment as a police officer in the state of Texas. The information covered will provide foundation knowledge necessary to be a successful peace officer in a citizen-responsive, community-based environment. Successful completion of the certificate will allow the candidate to sit for the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education (TCLEOSE) Basic Peace Officer licensing exam. An information packet and application will be available at the Division of Social Sciences and Business (Room B-245) or at the college’s main reception area about six weeks before the beginning of each new class. Two formats for completion of the 20 credit hour (640 class hours) program are offered to students: a one semester day time academy or a two semester evening academy. The focus of a degree in criminal justice is different from the peace officer skills learned through the academy and the academy credit is not applicable to the degree requirements of the Associate of Applied Science degree in Criminal Justice.

ASSOCIATE DEGREE NURSING Application to the Associate Degree Nursing Program is a two step process. (1) Applicants must satisfy all TSI requirements and Brazosport College application and admission requirements including submission of original transcripts from all previous col­leges, nursing programs, and high schools. Applicants are encouraged to carefully review all college catalog and program information materials, accessible from the college home page, http://www.brazosport.edu. (2) An additional, separate application is required for the ADN program. Minimum applicant GPA is 2.5 cumulative, 2.5 GPA in prerequisite courses, and 2.5 GPA in prerequisite science coursework. The typical GPA for applicants selected to interview is 3.0 and higher. The ADN pro­gram admission process is highly competitive. Prerequisite course grades and TEAS (entrance assessment) outcome indicators are also used to determine applicant readiness for the nursing curriculum.

114 BRAZOSPORT COLLEGE CATALOG 2012-2013 VII. COURSE DIRECTORY 1. Reading Course Descriptions Brazosport College uses the Texas Common Course Numbering System in support of efforts to enhance the transferability­ of credit throughout the state system of colleges and universities. In addition to its descriptive title, each course is identified­ by a four character prefix (also called a rubric) to identify the department or discipline and a four digit number that is unique to each course within a rubric. The course number should be interpreted as follows: First digit: level of the course 0 – transitional 1 – freshman 2 – sophomore 3 – junior 4 – senior Second digit: number of semester hours of credit Last two digits: identify a specific course within the rubric or department

For example, ENGL 1301 is a three hour course in English typically taken the freshman year. See Directory of Courses by Prefix for a table showing the prefixes associated with commonly used names for the various disciplines of study.There is a brief description of the course content and a list of any prerequisites (courses that must be taken or other conditions that must be met before enrolling in the course) and, in many cases, a tested skill level code in reading, writing, or math that must be met before enrolling in the course. See a counselor for specific information about the skill level testing and requirements. Workforce education course prefixes (rubrics) and course numbers are shown in italic type, for example, HITT 2435.

2. Distance Learning and the Virtual College of Texas Brazosport College participates in the Virtual College of Texas (VCT), a consortium of Texas community colleges for sharing Internet courses. Tuition and fees for courses taken for credit through the Virtual College of Texas are the same one would pay for similar courses at Brazosport College. Credit for VCT courses is shown on the Brazosport College transcript. Not every course that is listed on the state schedule will be available to Brazosport College students. Consult the VCT web site, then contact Brazosport College Learning Services at 979-230-3253 for more informa­tion regarding Virtual College of Texas enrollment.
