The College is supervised by the State University of New York and is governed by nine trustees, five appointed by the sponsor and four appointed by the governor of New York. All trustees live in the sponsoring community and they serve for nine years. There are 38 community colleges in the State at present; Corning Community College was the 12th to be founded. The College began classes in existing buildings in downtown Corning, and in 1963 moved to a 275-acre campus with five major buildings. Enrollment has increased from 110 in 1957 to 2100 in 1971. The College is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Its programs of study are registered with the State Education Department and approved by the trustees and officers of the State University of New York. The nursing curriculum is accredited by the National League for Nursing. The College awards the degrees of Associate in Arts (A.A.), Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.), and Associate in Science (A.S.). Its programs are approved for holders of New York State scholarships and students are eligible to receive benefits under the Veteran’s Administration. Corning Community College is a charter member of the College Center of the Finger Lakes, a cooperative venture with area colleges—Corning, Hobart and William Smith Colleges, Elmira College, Keuka College, Alfred University, Ithaca College, Hartwick College, Cazenovia College, Wells College and St. Bonaventure University—who have joined to enrich their academic and cultural offerings for both students and faculty. The College is located about one mile south of Corning in the Finger Lakes region of New York. Elmira is 15 miles to the east, Seneca Lake is 15 miles north, and Ithaca is 40 miles northeast. OBJECTIVES Corning Community College seeks to fulfill the area’s needs for higher education, in five broad categories: (1) Transfer Programs, (2) Occupational Programs, (3) Continuing Education, (4) Community Service, and (5) Guidance and Counseling. 3 Transfer Programs The College offers what amounts to the first two years of a four-year liberal arts curriculum for students who wish to transfer from Corning to four-year colleges and receive the bachelor’s degree. The College has close contact with admissions offices in four-year colleges throughout the country. Career Programs For students who will seek employment after two years of college work, Corning offers a variety of programs to provide special job skills. There are also one-year certificate programs of more concentrated study for secretaries, draftsmen, and salesmen. The College provides students with help in job placement. Continuing Education There are a number of programs and single courses for adults who wish to polish job skills or attain general knowledge of a subject. Special programs are available for area businesses and organizations. Community Service The technical and educational capabilities of the College are available to the community for research and for special projects. Many College functions— lectures, movies, meetings—are open to the public and the special skills of faculty are available to the community. Guidance and Counseling Because of the wide range in student abilities and aspirations in a community college, comprehensive guidance and counseling is a necessity. The College provides testing and occupational guidance to help the student understand himself and approach the challenge of his future. NEW STUDIES DIVISION The New Studies Division directs and administers the humanistic education courses, the Human Services programs, and other special or new programs that do not come directly under other divisions’ responsibilities. Programs that are initially developed in this area are intended to be moved into other appropriate areas once they are functioning. There are no full-time faculty members assigned to the New Studies Division. Staffing for courses and programs is drawn from the entire college community. One full-time director administers the program. 4 EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY PROGRAM The Educational Opportunity Program, also known as the SPARK program, was formed in early 1968 and is designed to prepare students in need of academic and financial assistance for college work. There are two parts to the program; the summer and the continuing programs. Both are designed to orient the student to college, to eliminate “gaps” in the math and English areas, to teach study skills, and to build confidence and self-motivation while providing necessary financial assistance. The Tutorial Program, coordinated by a para-professional, is directed at aiding the under achieving student. Students are employed to help other students with their subjects. We have found that both the tutor and the person being tutored benefit from the tutoring relationship. The Pilot Program for Involuntarily Separated Students was formed to allow those students who would normally be separated from the college after the first semester, to continue their first year uninterrupted. Many students have difficulty in adjusting to college life. The counselors engaged in this program, attempt to help these students discover the reasons for their difficulty in adjusting and to deal with these problems realistically. OFFICE OF EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH The Office of Educational Research was established in February, 1970 for the purpose of improving educational effectiveness through (I) systematic and continuous study of factors affecting the educational process and outcomes; (2) assistance to any staff members in their own educational research efforts; (3) dissemination of current educational research findings at this College as well as other research centers. 5 Board of Trustees PaulT.

Education Law, Section 6301, Paragraph 4, defines a New York State Resident as: “Aperson who has resided in the State for a period of at least one year, in the county, city, town, intermediate school district or school district, as the case may be, fora period of at least six months, both immediately preceding the date of such person’s registration in a community college, or, for the purposes of section sixty-three hundred five of this chapter, his application for a certificate of residence." fn the event that a person qualified as above for state residence, but has been a resident of two or more counties in the state during the six months immediately preceding his application for a certificate of residence pursuant to section sixty~three hundred five of this chapter, the charges to the counties of residence shall be allocated among the several counties proportional to the number of months, or major fraction thereof, of residence in each county. The forms to meet the above requirements are available at the Office of Admissions. The completed Residence forms are required once each academic year. Failure to obtain certificates of residence increases tuition from S2I0 to S420. •••The same requirements (stated above) apply to part-time and summer school students and satisfaction of these requirements reduces the rate from S34.00 to SI7.00 per semester hour. Residency Requirement It should be noted that permanent, bona fide residence in New York State is required. Residence at a school or college for purposes of study does not change the student's legal residence. The legal residence of an unmarried college student is presumed to be the residence of the parents. If the parents are not legal residents of New York State, the student will be considered a resident of New York State only if such claim is supported by specific confirmatory action, such as working full time in New York State for one year or more. If the student is 21 years of age or married, he may establish his own residence. However, residence is not gained or lost by attending college. The legal residence of a college student is the residence prior to the current period of attending college, unless otherwise demonstrated by specific action. 12 Other Charges Special Activity Fee Full-time......................................per semester $ 30.00 Part-time 7-11 credit hours...........................per semester 20.00 6 or fewer credit hours.....................per semester 10.00 Health and Accident Insurance Fee........................per year 29.30* Health Services Fee......................................per year 4.00 Physical Education Fee Men—Entering year....................................per year 6.50 Each succeeding year..............................per year 2.00 Women—Entering year..................................per year 9.00 Each succeeding year..............................per year 2.00 Orientation Fee—Entering year............................not over 10.00 Parking registration and sticker.........................per year 1.00 Liability Insurance Fee (Nursing Students only)..........per year 5.00 Achievement tests (Nursing Students only) Second semester................................................ 1.25 Fourth semester................................................ 6.25 Late Registration or Late Pre-registration Fee................. 10.00 Graduation Fee—Fourth semester when eligible—Non-refundable.... 20.00 (Held to credit of student if graduation is delayed) Identification Card—Non-refundable.......................per year 1.75 Transcript Fee.........................................per copy 1.00 (2 free copies for Graduating Students; others, 1 free copy) Laboratory Expense Fee (Evening General Studies and Summer Session)............................................... 10.00 •Compulsory for all full-time students unless the Insurance Waiver card is presented indicating that private coverage equal to or better than the College policy is held by the student.

No laboratory fees are eligible for a partial refund. Students dismissed from college at any time shall not be entitled to a refund of tuition or fees. The schedule below will be used to determine refunds (regardless of the date of the student’s registration): Pro-Rated Tuition Refund for Students Withdrawing During First week Full Fourth week 40% Second week 80% Fifth week 20% Third week 60% After 5 th week No Refund 14 Admissions Corning Community College is an open door college. Enrollment is limited only by the physical capacity of the campus. In accordance with this policy, the College assumes the responsibility to provide guidance and counseling to help the student find areas of study best suited to his interests, aptitudes and abilities. Then it is the student’s responsibility to take advantage of the educational opportunities presented him. ADMISSIONS POLICIES All students living in the College’s primary service area are guaranteed admission provided an application is complete prior to March 15 for the fall semester and November 1 for the spring semester. Applications received from service area applicants after these dates will be considered on a first-come, first-served basis. Out of area applicants will be granted acceptance only as space permits. Admission to the College is open to all qualified applicants regardless of race, color or creed. Applications for admission are accepted for the fall and spring semesters. However, essential courses for some programs begin only in the fall semester. Therefore, applicants to Nursing, the technical programs, and some business programs should be aware that the first semester courses in these areas are normally not offered in the spring semester. ADMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS The minimum requirement for admission to the degree or certificate programs is graduation from an approved secondary school with 16 acceptable units or possession of an high school General Educational Development Diploma (GED).

Certificate Programs—one year: Drafting, Secretarial Studies—Basic requirements only. 16 ENTRANCE EXAMINATION The American College Testing Program (ACT) is required of all entering students. The student is advised to take this examination at the latest by February of the year in which he is applying for Fall entrance. NO OTHER COLLEGE ADMISSIONS TEST MAY BE SUBSTITUTED. Students who might take this test during their junior year in high school need not repeat the test and their junior year scores are acceptable. The ACT is an academic measure used to advise students on program and course selection, not to screen applicants for admission to Corning. It is suggested that students may want Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores on their record for transfer information. This is the student’s option in light of his vocational objective. Some four-year schools are requiring SAT scores from transfer students. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR CERTAIN APPLICANTS Veterans: Every veteran planning to attend Corning Community College must submit with his application form or before the registration date, a copy of his service discharge papers. A photostatic copy is acceptable. Do not submit the original papers. For veterans who are released from active duty but have not completed parts of their military obligation, the College will accept, in lieu of the discharge, a copy of the separation form DD-214. Veterans attending Corning Community College are eligible for benefits under the G.I. Bill. They should contact their nearest New York State Director of Veteran’s Affairs or Veteran Counselor for instructions on applying for their full benefits. General Educational Development Diploma Holders: If the applicant has not graduated from high school but has received a G. E. D. he must submit a copy of the certificate and the scores obtained on these tests. The applicant should not submit his personal copy of these scores but should request that an official copy be sent to Corning Community College by the department administering the tests. Transfer Students: Applicants who have attended any other college or postsecondary school prior to application to Corning must submit an official, final transcript from that institution. This transcript is required whether or not the applicant desires transfer credit. The transcript submitted to the College must be an official, original copy of the record from each school previously attended. If the transcript is from a college outside of New York State, the applicant must also request that a copy of the catalog be sent from that institution for the years the student was in attendance there. Transfer applicants must also submit the high school records and fulfill all other requirements indicated for entering students. 17 ACCEPTANCE PROCEDURE During the month of October each high school senior in the College’s primary service area will be sent a preliminary application form. A student who does not receive this initial information and wishes to apply for admission or an applicant who is not a senior in high school is invited to write the Office of Pre-College Advising and state his intentions. Upon receipt of such a request, the preliminary form will be sent. This form should be completed and returned to the College by each student who wishes to apply for admission. The return of this form guarantees the service-area applicant a place in the entering class provided, of course, that he follows through with all subsequent instructions to him. NOTE: There is no application fee. Upon return of the preliminary application, the following are the steps in the acceptance process: 1. Data Collection Form—to be completed by the applicant and submitted to his high school counselor. We suggest that you provide the school with an addressed, stamped envelope for their use in forwarding the application. 2. Secondary School Record—to be completed by the applicant's secondary school principal or guidance personnel and returned with the student’s portion of the application to the Office of Pre-College Advising. Even if an applicant has attended any other college(s) or other post secondary school(s) an official transcript of his high school record must be submitted. 3. College Transcript—to be requested by the applicant from his former college(s) or post secondary school(s) and submitted directly to the Office of Pre-College Advising by that school. 4. Personal Interview—at the College is not required of all applicants before acceptance. However, the College reserves the right to require an interview of any applicant when it seems advisable for reasons of counseling or clarification. The College will honor (by appointment) requests by students for a personal interview. All students will be invited to the College at some time after acceptance for advising, pre-registration and counseling. This usually takes place in late spring or early summer. 5. American College Testing Examination—(ACT) as indicated in the section is a vital part of the admissions requirements. The student should request that his scores be forwarded to Corning Community College at the time he applies for the examination. Coming’s code number is 2727. Information about registering for this test may be secured from your guidance office or by writing American College Testing Program, P.O. Box 414, Iowa City, Iowa 52240. 6. Reply Dates—February 15, March 15, and July 15 have been designated as dates by which an applicant to the Fall semester can expect word about the status of his application. Students should not expect a reply to their 18 application any earlier than eight weeks after its submission. Applicants from outside the College’s service area are normally not notified until after the March 15 date. All admissions are tentative until final grades, proof of graduation, and items 6, 7,8, 9 have been submitted. 7. Health Examination Form—sent to applicants along with acceptance letter to be returned to the Office of Pre-College Advising or the College Health Office. This form is to be completed by the student and the student’s family physician. Students whose health forms indicate limited activity in the physical education program must present a statement from their doctor and contact the College’s student health officer to initiate an official waiver procedure. 8. Parent's Consent Form—is sent to the student along with acceptance letter and should be returned to the Office of Pre-College Advising. This form gives the College the legal right to summon medical services in the event of emergency without prior immediate consent of the legal guardian of the student. Important Note: Anyone unable to comply with the above procedures or in need of additional information concerning admission is urged to contact the Office of Pre-College Advising. 9. Tuition Deposit—S50 required. Notification of due date will be sent to the applicant in the acceptance letter from the College. This fee will be credited toward the tuition payment at time of registration and is refundable up to and including May 1, upon written request. After May 1 it is not refundable for any reason. If a student has a problem in meeting this financial obligation, he should contact the Office of Pre-College Advising immediately. If the student fails to submit this down payment by the due date, he risks the interpretation by the College that his application is voluntarily withdrawn. 10. Certificate of Residence—the student who is a resident of the Corning-Painted Post School District must have the completed form notarized, and certified by the Corning-Painted Post Board of Education; other New York State residents must have the completed form notarized and must submit it to the chief fiscal officer (treasurer) of their county; out-of-state students should merely fill in their name and address and sign the form. All certificates should be sent to the Business Office according to the above directions. (The applicant’s attention is drawn to the Fees section of this catalog for specific information on qualification as New York State resident.) The College Business Office will mail applications for the Certificate of Residence to all accepted students between July 1 and 15. 19 RE-ADMISSION Applications for re-admission are made to the Academic Standards Committee. Former Corning Community College students should contact the Secretary of the Academic Standards Committee, Advising Office, Corning Community College, for instructions. To insure full consideration, re-admission applications should be submitted at least one month prior to registration. ADMISSION TO ADVANCED STANDING A candidate for admission to Corning Community College who has attended another institution of higher learning is required to follow the application procedure as outlined for freshman candidates. In addition, such an applicant must request that an official transcript of all post-secondary school work be sent from the registrar directly to the Office of Pre-College Advising at Corning. Records from approved institutions of collegiate rank will be evaluated in terms of academic credit applicable to the course offerings at Corning Community College. All candidates for the Associate in Arts, Associate in Science, or Associate in Applied Science degree must successfully complete at least thirty academic hours at Corning Community College. The College reserves the right to evaluate for graduation all academic work in terms of current validity. ADVANCED PLACEMENT The College recognizes that entering students may employ either the New York State College Proficiency Examination or the College Entrance Examination Board Advanced Placement Examinations to achieve advanced standing in the College. Ultimate decision concerning College credit is at the discretion of the Dean of the Faculty after consultation with the applicant’s high school instructor, interpretation of examination scores, and confirmation of division chairmen of programs within the College. Inquiries should be directed to the Office of The Dean of Faculty, or to the appropriate Division Chairman. 20 Degree Requirements The College awards three degrees—the Associate in Arts (A.A.), the Associate in Science (A.S.), and the Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.)—to graduates of registered curriculums at least two years (60 semester hours) but less than four years (120 semester hours) in length. The Associate in Arts Degree 1. Degree requirements: a total of 60 semester hours (in addition to the graduation requirements in Health and Physical Education) but less than 120. A quality point average of 2.0 must be maintained for graduation. 2. Curriculum requirements: The course of study leading to this degree should be an organized curriculum, composed essentially of courses in the liberal arts and sciences. At least 48 hours of credit should comprise work in the following fields: A. English: A minimum of 12 semester hours (6 hours of 100-level courses), (see placement information, p. 116). Foreign Language courses 231 (Introduction to Literature) may be used to satisfy the English requirement at the sophomore level. B. Social Sciences: A minimum of 12 semester hours. C. Laboratory Science: A minimum of 6 semester hours. D. Mathematics: A minimum of 3 semester hours. E. Liberal Arts and Science Electives: 15 hours (at least 6 of these must be in the Humanities). F. Additional Electives: A minimum of 12 hours to complete the 60 hour requirement. These electives may include, upon advisement, any credit course offered by the College. G. Health Education: A minimum of 1 semester hour. H. Physical Education: A minimum of 2 semester hours. Additional requirement for the Liberal Arts and Science Program is: Foreign Language: 4 semester hours at second year level (or equivalent attainment determined by proficiency test). The hours of this additional requirement may be counted toward the 15 elective hours mentioned in “E” above. For the students planning a more general educational program in the Liberal Arts and Sciences, it is strongly recommended that a foreign language be included, unless the student, after consultation with his advisor, is certain that the college to which he is transferring does not require or recommend such courses. If this is true, the student may petition through his advisor for waiver of the requirement; such waiver must be approved prior to drop date. 21 The Associate in Science Degree 1. Degree requirements: A total of 60 semester hours (in addition to the graduation requirements in Health and Physical Education) but less than 120 hours.

He should make himself familiar with the programs listed below, with the course requirements of each program, and with the prerequisites for each course. He should pay particular attention to the health and physical education courses required of all graduates. Students should work closely with faculty advisors when scheduling programs and courses. When appropriate, Division Chairmen may approve waivers or substitutions for program requirements Transfer Programs Liberal Arts and Sciences Humanities-Social Science — A. A. Degree Humanities-Social Science — A.S. Degree Mathematics - Science — A.S. Degree Engineering Science — A.S. Degree Business Administration — A.S. Degree For persons planning to transfer to senior colleges, academic courses and curriculums adequate *o meet the usual college freshman and sophomore requirements in all of the ordinary majors and pre-professional programs are offered. (These university-parallel programs of study are developed on an individual basis depending upon the sequence of courses given at the four-year college which the student expects to attend during his junior and senior years.) As much as possible, the student’s program will parallel the program in the four-year college. In this way, maximum credit may be obtained at the time of transfer. Such a program leads to the degree of Associate in Arts or Associate in Science. The program for Associate in Science in pre-engineering is also a transfer program. Selection of courses which are appropriate for transfer will be the responsibility of the student. He should, of course, seek the advice of his faculty advisor. Corning Community College has made an enviable record in preparing its students for acceptance and transfer to four-year colleges. Those who have transferred have described their experience at Corning as excellent preparation for the education they are pursuing in the four-year colleges. With very few exceptions, our graduates go to four-year colleges with little loss of transfer credit. Occupational Programs Art Glass Technology — A.A.S. Degree Chemical Technology — A.A.S.

Degree Police Science — A.A.S. Degree Human Services — A.A.S. Degree For persons planning to obtain two years of college training in the field of general business, data processing, secretarial science, nursing, laboratory technologies, or engineering technologies, curriculums have been developed leading to the degree of Associate in Applied Science. These programs will prepare the student to enter business or industry after graduation from Corning Community College. Many of these courses may be accepted for transfer credit. Students who do not wish to transfer to other colleges and universities can, of course, treat liberal arts and science programs as non-transfer work. The value of these programs to the student who wishes to prepare himself for work cannot be overestimated. Each of the programs pays careful attention to developing the skills and abilities necessary for success and promotion in a chosen field. In each program there are also required courses which provide a broad, liberal education. The College has been particularly fortunate in developing a fine employment record for its graduates in these programs. The possibilities for placement, advancement, and promotion after graduation, are important reasons for choosing these areas of training at Corning. Certificate Programs Secretarial Studies — Certificate Drafting — Certificate Certificate programs are offered in Secretarial Studies, Drafting, and Retail Salesmanship to fulfill the needs of on-the-job applicants from local industries for further training to maintain or enhance job opportunities. LIBERAL ARTS AND SCIENCES The various programs in Liberal Arts and Sciences should be followed by those students preparing for eventual careers in professions such as law, medicine, dentistry, teaching, social services, and theology. They may also be used to provide general education which is useful for employment in business, industry, or government work. Special options for potential urban studies majors are available in the Humani-ties-Social Science programs. The advisor for the Urban Studies program should be consulted for specific course requirements. 24 Before making a decision as to which of the programs and degrees in Liberal Arts is most applicable to his needs, the student should consider the requirements of the program and degree, the requirements of possible transfer colleges (where applicable), and most importantly his personal needs for structure and specialization or flexibility and generalization. If necessary, he should seek the advice of college admissions personnel. Humanities—Social Science (A. A. Degree) The Associate in Arts degree in Humanities-Social Science is a more structured degree than the Associate in Science degree in Humanities-Social Science. It requires language proficiency at the second year level (except by special waiver) and two semesters of literature beyond the freshman level, of which one may be any Foreign Language literature numbered 231. Only three hours of mathematics are required. Unless the student goes beyond hours required for graduation, he has only twelve hours of electives which can be used to explore outside of the Liberal Arts area. This program, however, provides for maximum transferability to most liberal arts schools because of the relative rigidity of distribution requirements.

Twelve hours of college level modem language, or its equivalent, is required for the A. A. degree. 25 Humanities — Social Science (A. S. Degree) The Associate in Science degree in Humanities-Social Science provides for maximum flexibility and exploration. After completing a core of freshman English and six hours each of math, science, and social science, the student has a twelve hour concentration in either of the broad areas of “humanities” or “social sciences”. Twenty-four of the sixty hours required for graduation can be taken outside the liberal arts area. This program is ideal for the student wishing to experiment with possible vocational choices or desiring a general education. This degree may be used for transfer also. Students who wish to pursue training in health education, physical education, or recreation education should apply for the Humanities-Social Science program leading to the Associate in Science degree with a Health Education option. They should seek advisement from the “health, physical education, and recreation” staff and should note courses which are listed in this catalog under the heading, “Health Education Transfer.” FIRST SEMESTER Semester Course hours Freshman English (see p. 116)............. 3 Science................................. 3-4 Mathematics......................... 3-4 Arts and Sciences Elective*............. 3-4 Elective (any course)................... 0-3 Health Education........................ 1 Physical Education.......................

Students emphasizing the social sciences may take any social science course. 3. Students in a mathematics science emphasis must pursue the A.S. degree program outlined on page 32. 4. Students planning a health education or urban affairs emphasis must consult with their advisors before completing registration in any semester. 26 Mathematics — Science (A. S. Degree) The Associate in Science degree in Mathematics-Science is designed for the student with particular interest in this area of the liberal arts and sciences curriculum. Students selecting this emphasis must complete a more rigorous level of mathematics and science than is required in the humanities-social science programs. Highly transferable, the math science program allows students to specialize in a specific discipline such as biology, chemistry, mathematics, or physics. It also allows students less sure of their area of concentration to select courses from a variety of mathematically and scientifically oriented disciplines. This program allows approximately eighteen hours of electives from any area in the College. In all cases, the student should work closely with his advisor in selecting courses to insure a program compatible with his abilities and future career choice. In general high school preparation should include two and one-half years of mathematics and three years of science. In many cases, a foreign language is encouraged and may be pursued under the elective category listed below.

S. Degree) This program is intended for the student who is preparing for a career in the engineering profession. The program is necessarily rigorous and demanding. High school preparation should include four years of college preparatory mathematics and science. In addition, the student should generally be in the upper third of his graduating class. Students who desire to enter the engineering program but lack the necessary background qualifications may enter the Mathematics/Science A. S. degree program, and after successfully completing a semester, or a year, apply for admittance to engineering.

To complete other programs in business, it is necessary to enroll in some major-field courses during the regular daytime hours. Business Administration Curriculums The curriculums offered through the Division of Business Administration provide an opportunity for those students who are interested in immediate employment upon graduation and for those students who are interested in transferring to other educational institutions at the end of their programs. Students having special vocational interests in selected areas of business and students in non-Business programs who wish to take electives in Business Administration should work closely with an advisor or seek the advice of the Division Chairman. The Division of Business Administration reserves the right to make appropriate course substitutes in instances where designated courses are not offered or are closed for the lack of registration. Students experiencing hardships in scheduling specified courses should seek the advice of the Director of Continuing Education or the Chairman of the Business Division. BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION (A.S. Degree) This is an university-parallel program designed to assist the student in making a smooth transfer to a baccalaureate degree business or economics curriculum. The student has considerable flexibility in selecting courses which are needed to satisfy the first two years’ requirements at the senior college to which he wishes to transfer. The program outlined below is comprised of more than half liberal arts courses and follows closely the guidelines set forth by the American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business for the freshman and sophomore years. Students who know in advance where they wish to transfer should work closely with a business advisor to modify this program to exactly meet the requirements of their intended senior colleges. A.S. Degree Business Administration* One-year Certificate Programs Secretarial Studies* 29 The A.S. Degree program may also be used to prepare for selected positions in business and industry following graduation from Corning. This may be done by carefully selecting business electives that closely parallel the requirements of one of the A. A.S. degree curriculums.

Students whose mathematics backgrounds are deficient may be required to take Mathematics 100 in excess of the requirements specified. Mathematics 100, if required as background preparation, may be applied to the elective requirement in the third semester. Mathematics 101 - 102 are not acceptable math courses for this program JMost senior colleges still require a history sequence, either HY 101-102 or HY ill-112. Introductory courses in sociology and psychology are also acceptable electives and are required at many senior Institutions. 3From the following (unlessprror permission is obtained): Principles of Marketing (MK 251); Principles of Management (MG 241); Business Statistics I (GB 233); Intermediate Accounting I, II (AC 203-204); Introduction to Data Processing (DP 120). 4Frora the following: Mathematics 100; Mathematics 12? or higher; Humanities electives (art, philosophy, music, foreign languages); English electives (literature or speech). Mathematics 225 (Intro, to Calculus) should be elected by students planning to transfer to one of the State Universities (Albany, Binghamton, or Buffalo). Note: Students in the A.S. Degree program, upon prior consultation with a business advisor, may take a two-year sequence of selected courses in data processing, secretarial science or other business specialty to meet special vocational or transfer needs. Young women wishing to pursue a career as a bi-lingual secretary, for instance, may combine courses in modern foreign languages and secretarial science to obtain proficiency in both areas, Other special career programs are also possible through careful planning prior to beginning the third semester of classwork. 30 CAREER PROGRAMS (A.A.S. Degree) Six two-year Associate in Applied Sciences degree programs are offered by the Division of Business Administration. These programs, in business, data processing and secretarial studies, have been designed with the assistance of advisory committees and represent a blending of courses structured to provide a maximum of professional training for students who wish to seek employment immediately following graduation from Corning. All of the programs listed on the following pages have been devised to develop both basic and advanced skills, concepts, and attitudes necessary to qualify for responsible entry-level positions in business and industry. Many students graduating with an A.A.S. Degree from Corning transfer to senior colleges and successfully complete four-year programs. It is recommended, however, that students desiring to transfer request a change of program to the A.S. Degree program. Most senior colleges prefer that the student first take his liberal studies requirements, postponing the advanced professional courses until the junior or senior years. Since degree requirements vary among senior colleges, it is advisable for the student to talk with a business advisor as soon as he knows that he wishes to transfer. Some flexibility for modifying A.A.S. Degree programs does exist. Check the footnotes accompanying each program on the following pages. ACCOUNTING (A.A.S. Degree) The Accounting curriculum allows students to prepare for positions related to the measurement, communication, and interpretation of economic activities in all types of organizations. Managers, owners, creditors and others must have quantitative information about a firm’s activities in order to make informed judgments. This information may be obtained only in large part through the activities of the accountant. Maximum concentration is given to accounting subject matter during the two years of study. Included in this curriculum is a study of accounting principles, management accounting and current accounting problems. In addition to accounting studies, the student also has an opportunity to take courses in important related areas such as business data processing, communications, management and economics. Students, at their option, may elect to work in accounting-related part-time employment and earn credits through a field experience program. Graduates have taken positions in business, industry, financial institutions, accountant and management trainees. In addition, many students have transferred from this program to senior colleges. The promise for employment opportunities in accounting is one of the bright spots on the economic horizon for the 1970’s. The demand increases annually. 31 FIRST SEMESTER Semester SECOND SEMESTER Semester Course hours Course hours Accounting Principles Accounting Principles (AC 103) 4 (AC 104) 4 Freshman English (see p. 116) 3 Freshman English (see p. 116) 3 Mathematics (MA 100 or 3-4 Mathematics (MA 126) or 125)2 3-4 Business Statistics(GB233)2 3 Business Mathematics (GB 133)1 Computer Applications in Business or Elective 3 (DP 122) 3 Science elective 3 Office Machines (GB 135) 2 Physical Education 'A Physical Education Vi Health Education 1 16V4 THIRD SEMESTER Semester FOURTH SEMESTER Semester Course hours Course hours Intermediate Accounting Intermediate Accounting (AC 203) 3 (AC 204) 3 Cost Accounting 1 (AC 205) 3 Accounting Elective or Business Business Law (GB 231) 3 Systems Analysis (DP 129) 3 Business Communications Management Elective (GB 130) 3 (MG 241,243, 245) 3 Economics (EC 100 or 201)2 3 Social Science Elective2 3 Employment Orientation Contemporary Accounting (GB 138) (1) (AC219) 1 Physical Education Vi Physical Education Vi Field Experience (GB 139)’ 0-1 Field Experience (GB 139)3 0-1 Elective (humanities, social sciences, or math / science)2 3 15/$ 'Students successfully completing Math 125 or higher are exempt from Business Mathematics and must take an elective in lieu thereof. ’Students considering transfer to a senior college should take the following: English 105-106.

To maximize the number of transfer hours, a laboratory science may be substituted for three hours of business electives in the second year. 3Students having successfully completed one full year of high school typing or equivalent are exempt from Typing I (OA 161). All other students in this program must demonstrate proficiency equivalent to the requirements of the course or must earn a passing grade in the course, If exempt, must take an elective. Credit for OA 161 may be earned by achieving a grade of 70 or higher on a proficiency exam. ^Business Law Elective and at least one course from each of the following areas: Area 1: Finance (GB 235); An accounting elective; A Data Processing Elective; Money, Credit and Banking (GB 236) Area2: Management Elective (MG 241, 243, 245) Area 3; Free elective in Business, including Office Practice (OA 179) $Optional — not required for graduation (see course description). BUSINESS DATA PROCESSING (A. A. S. Degree) This program is for persons who wish to prepare for positions as programmers in computer centers which emphasize business-related data processing. Such centers are found in industrial, retail, general commercial, financial, governmental and other public organizations. Through a carefully planned sequence of courses, students are introduced to both basic and advanced concepts, principles, and techniques involved in the processing of data electronically. Instruction in all of the courses is centered around the operational capabilities of an IBM System 360, Model 30 computer and related equipment, including a terminal connected to a larger computer system at the State University of New York at Binghamton. Basic to an understanding of business applications programming is a fundamental knowledge of the accounting system and other functions, such as production, inventory control, marketing, and managerial planning and analysis in each firm. For this reason, students are also required to take basic and advanced courses in accounting as well as introductory courses in related areas. Students who wish to enter this program should be in the upper third of their high school classes. A good aptitude for mathematics is also helpful. A preparatory course in mathematics (Math 100) is available for students who prefer to brush up on their high school algebra before enrolling in Math 125.

Math 100 does not count toward satisfying the math requirement, however. Probability (MA 203) may be substituted for Business Statistics. Production Control (IT 201) may be substituted for Cost Accounting I. RETAIL BUSINESS MANAGEMENT (A. A. S. Degree) The Retail Business Management curriculum is designed to assist students to prepare for opportunities in retail businesses of all types. The emphasis, however, is on the organization and operation of small- and medium-sized firms, gradu-is on the organization and operation of small and medium-sized firms. Graduates have also found this program of substantial value in preparing for positions in wholesaling and in industrial marketing. No special high school background is 35 required for this program, and enrollment in the Division of Business Administration is not necessary for admission to most of the courses in the curriculum. Students in the social sciences, home economics, and art, for instance, find that courses in marketing, advertising, merchandise information, and display techniques nicely complement their respective programs of study. A new (in 1971) retail laboratory has been added to the Business Division’s facilities so that students may gain practical experience in applying the skills learned in display techniques. Human relations training forms a core around which are built the foundations of understanding how to best serve the complex needs of consumers. Both conceptual and practical skills in human relations are developed through courses such as sociology, marketing, advertising, salesmanship, personnel management, and communications. Owing to the numerous opportunities available, especially among retail chain store organizations, graduates have been able to secure a wide range of entry-level positions both in the local area and in nearby metropolitan areas. Among the jobs that graduates have taken in the recent past are store manager trainee, assistant buyer, assistant personnel manager, assistant credit manager, advertising assistant, retail salesman, manufacturer’s representative, and industrial sales representative.

Degree) This program is intended for students, both male and female, who wish to become secretaries or to work in office-related positions. The curriculum requires no special high school background, although the more successful students are those having a better-than-average level of verbal competency. It is not necessary 37 to be enrolled in the secretarial program before taking ele-tives in courses such as shorthand, typing and office accounting. Each year, several students enrolled in liberal arts curricula take either machine or manual shorthand and typing courses as part of their free elective areas. Students who wish to become high school teachers should work closely with an advisor in the selection of optional courses for transfer or should enroll in the A. S. degree in Business Administration, taking basic secretarial courses as electives. Employment opportunities for graduates of this program are usually plentiful. Male secretaries, too, are in great demand.

Students will be placed in one of the several levels of shorthand based on prior training. Students who have had no prior shorthand training are assigned to either OA 163 or OA 165. Students who are placed in advanced sections do not automatically receive credit for by-passed courses. Credit toward the degree is awarded only on the basis of having passed a proficiency exam with a grade of 70 or higher. Students who by-pass shorthand courses should consult with an advisor regularly to insure (hat college degree requirements will be met. 2 Students demonstrating a satisfactory level of understanding of language mechanics may be awarded credit for OA 171 on the basis of a proficiency examination. 3 The same guidelines used for placement awarding credit in shorthand are used for determining the level of typing most appropriate for each student. All students must take Typing MI (OA261), however. Note on Electives: Unless credit by proficiency examination is earned for shorthand and typing courses which are by-passed, students must replace the excepted hours with a like number of elective hours. (See requirements for A. A. S. degree, p 21.)

Degree) Six programs in technology provide students with employable skills in the growing demand for technicians in industry, education, and government. ART GLASS TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM (A.A.S. Degree) The purpose of this curriculum is to prepare students for careers in the applied arts as related to glass decoration, specifically that of copper wheel engraving. Although the program is primarily intended for two-year career students, this does not preclude the transferability of certain courses to an upper division college. The Program is designed to serve industries which currently recruit their glass engravers from technical training schools in Europe. Occupational titles for which graduates will be prepared include: Glass Engraver, Glass Design Technician, Glass Production Inspector, Museum Worker (glass department).

These programs enable an interested student to acquire the knowledge, the experience and the skills necessary to enter his or her respective career at a semi-professional level. In addition to the two programs, Corning is in the process of developing a series of courses which will enable the student, with proper advisement, to have an emphasis which reflects the national concern over the condition of our environment. This emphasis will help the student to better understand our environment and its use and abuse by man. Water, waste, and air sampling and analysis are treated intensively, and successful graduates should find increasing employment opportunities both in the laboratory and out-of-doors in various agencies of municipal, state, and federal government and in major industries of all sorts. Because of the similar nature of the two laboratory technology programs a common core sequence of courses has been developed for most of the first year. This generally enables the student to postpone a specific career choice among the programs until he has acquired an increased knowledge of them. The suggested sequence for the first year in the laboratory technology program is as follows: First Second Semester Semester English............................................ 3 3 Chemistry.......................................... 4 4 Biology or Physics1 ............................... 4 4 Mathematics or Social Science1..................... 3 3 Laboratory Technology Orientation.................. 1 - Graphics or Elective1.............................. - 2 Health and P.E................................\'A A l6'/2 16'/2 The degree requirements for graduation in each of the laboratory technology programs include satisfactory completion of the general Associate in Applied Science requirements on P. 32 and the additional program requirements listed under each program. 'See specific degree requirements for each laboratory technology programs as follows. 41 Medical Laboratory Technology (A. A. S. Degree) In the medical laboratory technology program the student is trained to perform the diverse tests and procedures essential to modern diagnosis. The successful graduate will find extensive opportunity for employment in hospital and medical laboratories working under the direct supervision of an A.S.C.P. medical technologist or clinical pathologist. The College is affiliated with Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre, Pennsylvania, where the student will spend the last part of his second year. At Sayre, in the hospital environment, the student will receive additional intensive practice and theory in medical laboratory technology, employing the latest in modern techniques and laboratory equipment. The specific requirements for the medical laboratory technology program include: Laboratory Technology Orientation Sc. 100 1 Year Sequence of Chemistry 1 Year Sequence of Biology Bio. 201 ML. 202, 203, 204, 205, 206, 207 Chem. 231 Chemical Laboratory Technology (A.

Each program is arranged to provide a maximum of specialized training in the same area as the engineer, but in a shorter period and at a different level of complexity. A common first semester has been developed so that an entering student has the opportunity to more fully understand the career choices available before choosing an area of specialization. A high degree of flexibility has been provided in these career programs by the liberal use of technical electives. Under this arrangement, a student may select several courses in the technical areas which are of particular interest to him as an individual and which will best fulfill his educational and career goals. High school graduates should have two years of mathematics with physics strongly recommended. Experience has shown that a positive attitude and a desire to learn is as important to successful completion of these programs as any academic prerequisite. Occupational Opportunities With the ever-increasing use of electronics, complex mechanical devices and highly sophisticated manufacturing techniques, there is also an increased demand for knowledgeable scientists, engineers, and technicians to invent, develop, produce, and maintain this equipment. Even with this emphasis on specialization, a typical technician very seldom works exclusively in his specialty. He must have a degree of flexibility that will allow him to become involved in the design, manufacture and testing aspects of a product. For this reason each job category listed below discusses the general occupational opportunities available to technicians. Certain phases of these descriptions will be more applicable to one technical program than another. Industry 1) Research <& Development—Technicians are the center of the industrial R and D team. They are responsible for doing breadboard experiments, building prototypes of new machining, production and electronic systems, selecting components and performing design verification tests, conducting and supervising laboratory experiments. 2) Production—With the advent of high speed automatic machines and sophisticated production materials and processes necessary to produce products such as: computers, televisions, automobiles and jets, etc., rewarding careers in production are available to all types of technicians. Areas such as equipment design and maintenance, quality control, process engineering, plant layout, cost engineering and general supervision are typical job openings. 45 3) Technical Sales and Service—Most U.S. corporations employ a sizable staff for the purpose of technical sales and maintenance of their products. Technicians working in this phase of business are generally called upon to travel to the customer’s location to perform on-site installations and service their company’s products. Government The Federal Government employs thousands of technicians. For example, they work maintaining the FAA’s nationwide network of radio and radar navigation aids. NASA employs large numbers of technicians on the Apollo and many other less-publicized programs. The Department of Defense also uses a considerable number of technical personnel in their world-wide operations for work in such areas as communications, data transmission, weapon systems, and space projects. Education A considerable amount of basic and applied research is performed at the major universities in this country. Technicians perform an essential function in setting-up experiments, performing tests and analyzing the results under the direction of the research scientists. Most forms of physical research employ some type of electronic instrumentation, require fabrication and assembly of mechanical and electronic components. Thus, the need is present for the services of skilled technicians. ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY CURRICULUM (A.A.S.
