BACHELOR’S DEGREE TRANSFER PATHWAY

1/8/2017

• The Business Administration Career associates degree program prepares graduates for entry-level employment in private, public, and governmental agencies as accounting, finance, management, or marketing trainees.

• This program is of considerable benefit to employed students looking for professional development or students who hold degrees in unrelated areas and are looking for career skills or a career change.

• Students pursuing a specific business career after graduation should choose a Business Specialization Certificate (below left) for additional skills. Each certificate fits seamlessly into the BA associates degree.

• Although many courses in this program will transfer to a bachelor’s degree program, it is possible that some will transfer only as electives. Students planning to earn a bachelor’s degree should follow the transfer guide on the reverse side.

Foreign Language Requirements at Transfer Institutions !Central Connecticut State University !Proficiency in a foreign language must be demonstrated before graduation. This requirement may be met by any of the following: !a) Three sequential years of one foreign language at the high-school level. b) Elementary proficiency as demonstrated by successfully completing a second semester-level CCSU foreign language course or the equivalent at another institution (Tunxis equivalent is 112). Students with no previous background in a language must take the first and second semesters (Tunxis equivalent is 111 and 112); students who place out of the first semester due to previous background in the language may satisfy the requirement by taking the second semester only. c) Passing a standardized examination that demonstrates knowledge of a foreign language equivalent to completion of a second semester course or higher. d) Demonstration of native proficiency in a language other than English (requires evaluation of skill level by an appropriate faculty member and/or official documentation, and approval by the chair of the De-partment of Modern Languages). !!Southern Connecticut State University

Students fulfill the LEP Tier 1 multilingual communication requirement by successfully completing any of the following:

a) A World Languages and Literatures (WLL) course at the 200-level (Tunxis equivalent is 211*). b) An American Sign Language course at the intermediate level. c) The Standards-based Measurement of Proficiency test (STAMP) for Western languages at the inter-

mediate low level or non-Western languages at the novice high level. !All students are required to take the STAMP upon completion of a 200 level WLL course; however, stu-dents who feel that they can demonstrate proficiency prior to this may choose to take a STAMP at any time. !!Eastern Connecticut State University Two years of a single language in high school or two semesters (111 and 112 at Tunxis) of a single lan-guage in college. !!Western Connecticut State University !The foreign language requirement may be met by any of the following: !a) Three years of a single language in high school. b) Two college semesters of a single language (111 and 112 at Tunxis). c) One semester at the college intermediate level (211 at Tunxis). !*Spanish is the only language Tunxis consistently offers through the intermediate level. !-over- !!

University of Connecticut College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS) and School of Business require three years of a single lan-guage in high school or four college semesters** of a single language (111, 112, 211 and 212 at Tunxis). UConn’s other schools and colleges may have differing requirements. Please check the UConn website. !

**AtUConn,foreignlanguagestakeninonlineorhybridformatarenottransferableforcredit.ThislanguageappearsonUConn’swebsiteintheGuaranteedAdmissionProgramwebpage.!!

St. Joseph’s University Students will meet this requirement by successfully completing a course designated LG in any language other than English, including American Sign Language. Students can waive the requirement by one of the following:

• Submitting test scores from the ACTFL OPI and WPT test • Passing an oral/written test administered by the foreign language department • Scoring 3 or higher on an Advanced Placement foreign language exam • Demonstrating at least one year of successful study at the high school level or above where a

language other than English is the primary language of instruction. For transfer students: Successful completion of an approved other language course from another accredited college or university. This statement appears on the SJU website. !*One college semester of a single language regardless of high school experience (111 at Tunxis). !

NEW COURSES IN MATHEMATICS FALL 2017

MAT 137L INTERMEDIATE ALGEBRA FOR LIBERAL ARTS

This course is a credit-level course intended for students who are pursuing a non-stem pathway. It will serve as a pre-requisite for Math for Liberal Arts, Number Systems, and Elementary Statistics. Students who need business math (Finite Math or Calculus for Business) or traditional STEM math (College Algebra, Pre-Calculus, Calculus etc.) should NOT take this course*.

This course will use a modeling approach to mathematics, with a focus on applications and modeling with real-world data. Our topics will include Linear, Quadratic, and Exponential functions with less emphasis on calculation and more emphasis on conceptual understanding. We plan to use applications from many different fields: Medicine, Business, Criminal Justice, Social Sciences, and History.

Prerequisite: C- or better in MAT 085, 094, or 095 or appropriate placement test score

*Note: If a student takes this course and then needs to alter their path in the future, we are working on offering a 1 credit bridge course that would cover material the student would need. This course would be offered in the summer and winter sessions.

MAT 272 LINEAR ALGEBRA Linear algebra is a course that is part of the Mathematics TAP Pathway. It is becoming increasingly popular as the ability to manage and analyze large data sets becomes more important in industry. It is a requirement for most Bachelor Degrees in Computer Science as well.

This class will provide a substantial introduction to linear algebra from a mathematical viewpoint. Major topics include linear systems, linear transformations, matrices, determinants, vector spaces, eigenvalues, diagonalization, inner products, and orthogonality. This course will include a study of mathematical proof and requires mature abstract reasoning abilities.

Prerequisite: C- or better in Calculus II (MAT 256)

NEW for fall 2017!!! Music Production!!!

“Music production and recording techniques are presented in lecture, class discussion and studio work. Includes a broad overview of different careers within the music industry as well as an introduction to several instruments such as: guitar, piano, bass and drums. Musical experience is not necessary to enroll in this course.”

“GE hires a lot of engineers. We want young people who can do more than add up a string of numbers and write a coherent sentence. They must be able to solve

problems, communicate ideas and be sensitive to the world around them. Participation in the arts is one of the best ways to develop these abilities.” -Clifford V. Smith, President of the General Electric Foundation

“I believe that creativity will be the currency of the 21st century."
