3 QUALITY ASSURANCE POLICY

Gogebic Community College is committed to providing an environment in which its students can be confident of receiving the highest quality instructional programs. Recognizing its responsibilities, Gogebic Community College offers assurance to its students, prospective employers, and transfer institutions that graduates shall have the basis for competent performance in their degree or certificate area.

The college has articulation agreements with a number of Michigan institutions. These agreements guarantee the transferability of the associate degree and of specific courses within the curriculum. Students following the direction of college advisors are assured of maximal transferability of earned credits.

Gogebic Community College will refund the tuition of any GCC graduate for any transfer course passed at GCC with a “C” grade* if that earned course credit does not transfer to an accredited college or university in which the student enrolls within two years of graduation from GCC. Such classes must be listed as transferable on GCC’s listing of transfer courses in the Dean of Students’ Office.

Non-transferring students who earn a degree or certificate with a “C” average or better can be expected to perform competently in the area in which they were instructed. Any employer who views a Gogebic Community College graduate as not possessing appropriate entry-level skills and can specify such deficiencies may request remediation. The student will be permitted to retake a specified course or courses without an additional tuition charge. The college recognizes that unused skills decay rapidly. The assurances offered herein are made for individuals who gain employment within a year of receiving a degree or certificate.

* A grade of “C” minus may not qualify.

MEDICAL RECORD ADMINISTRATION Associate of Arts

In accordance with a growing interest in pre-professional curriculum in liberal art and junior colleges, a suggested curriculum for students preparing for admission to accredited schools for medical record administrators is listed below. An effort has been made not to structure the program too tightly to provide for individual transfer school requirements and the implementation of a philosophy of education which is inherent in that institution.

Satisfactory completion of the two-year program in a regionally accredited college or university will prepare a student for transfer to a college or university which offers the four-year baccalaureate program in medical records science. Students are reminded that 9 credits in humanities and 9 credits in social science are needed to meet Associate of Arts degree requirements. We recommend that students who plan to transfer to a four-year baccalaureate program write immediately to the college of their choice for guidance regarding additional subjects which may be required by the college for students in this program. Professional education programs for medical record administrators are accredited by the American Medical Association in collaboration with the American Medical Record Association. If further information is desired, please write Director, Academic Department, American Medical Record Association, 875 North Michigan Avenue, Suite 1850, Chicago, Illinois 60611.

58 MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY Associate of Science

One of the first prerequisites is an interest in science, particularly in its relation to medicine. Hand in hand with this interest should go an aptitude and liking for study. The field presents the opportunity to hold positions of responsibility and prestige and to satisfy the desire to be of service to mankind. Effective in 1962, three years of college became a prerequisite for training at an AMA-approved School of Medical Technology. Students may enroll at GCC for two years and complete the third year at the transfer institution. At least 12 consecutive months must be spent at an approved school of medical technology.

77 SKI AREA MANAGEMENT Associate of Applied Technology

The Ski Area Management Program at GCC is one of the nation’s most comprehensive training programs for individuals inter- ested in pursuing a career in the snow sport industry. Technical and academic study is combined with a practical internship which is conducted at major resorts throughout Colorado, Vermont, Utah, California and the Midwest. Students spend their freshman year and the first eight weeks of their sophomore year completing prerequisite courses. During this period, the Mt. Zion Recreation Complex is utilized as a training laboratory. Mt. Zion is our college owned and operated winter sport complex located on campus and is open to the public. The Cooperative Work Experience assignment (Co-op) is the capstone of the Ski Area Management Program. All sophomore students participate in the five month internship where they gain important operational experience in an actual resort environment. GCC’s graduates, placed at resorts nationwide, succeed with knowledge and skills provided by the program. Employment opportunities look very good into the future. Placement assistance is available through GCC’s Career Placement Office with assis- tance from the Ski Area Management Department. Through appropriate course selection, students may opt to pursue a Bachelor Degree through an articulated agreement with Northern Michigan University and the Walker L. Cisler College of Business and obtain a baccalaureate degree in Ski Area Business Management. This transfer agreement will enable students to begin their pro- gram at either institution and will further enhance their future career opportunities.
