background and skill sets for advancement in the field. These revisions include

concentration on developing expertise in a server-based programming language,

introduction to the UNIX operating system, and utilizing database management as an

Rationale: The rapid expansion of graphic design into every area of digital technology from

print publication to multimedia, animation and motion graphics calls for a degree program

title that is reflective of that change. Digital Arts, the proposed new name for the revised

curriculum offered by the Art and Music Department, represents a degree program that

seeks to remain relevant into the 21st

century and serve an industry in a constant state of

change and flux.

This curriculum seeks to prepare students for the rapidly developing and changing field of

digital art by providing a basic career-oriented education. Through intensive training in visual

foundation arts and in state-of-the-art technology, students gain aesthetic awareness,

problem solving skills and the technical proficiencies necessary to pursue an entry-level

position in the visual communication design industry. The Graphic Design Option focuses on

print and web media design. The Interactive Multimedia option focuses on motion based,

interactive multimedia and animation.

RATIONALE: The proposed A.A. in Liberal Arts and Sciences, Spanish Option, conforms to

the sixty credit Liberal Arts and Sciences pattern. It is being developed for students who

want a broad, liberal arts background with an introduction to the field of Spanish Studies and

is intended primarily for those students who plan to transfer to a four your college and major

or minor in Spanish. The inclusion of an extensive range of liberal arts courses, as well as

specific courses in Spanish, will facilitate a seamless transfer to a four-year college that

offers majors/minors in Spanish.

An articulation agreement between Bronx Community College and Lehman College ensures

that students who complete Bronx Community College’s A.A. in Liberal Arts and Sciences,

Spanish Option, will be able to enter the B.A. Program at Lehman College with advanced

standing, and further, all of their credits will be transferred to Lehman College’s Bachelor of

Arts degree.

A student in the Spanish Option who will later major/minor in Spanish at a four-year college

will receive a solid foundation in Spanish and may look forward to a career in many areas of

business, industry, government service, and mass communication as well as in teaching at

all levels from K-12.

A student in the Spanish Option at BCC will take four upper-level courses (15 credits) in

Spanish which will provide him/her with a good knowledge of the language, literature,

culture, and history of Spain and Latin America. These courses will also enhance the

student’s writing, reading and speaking skills in Spanish.

The Radiologic Technology

Program’s Committee on

Admissions and Waivers has the

right to allow the student an

additional attempt when there is

evidence of extenuating

circumstances. Extenuating

circumstances need to have legal

and/or official documentation and

must be presented to the

Committee on Admissions and

Waivers

before a waiver will be granted.

Students eligible to enter the first

radiologic technology course will

be admitted as follows:

A. A student who entered prior to Spring

06 would have to pass the reading ACT

with a minimum score of 69 and from

Spring 2006 to present the minimum

score is 75.

B. A minimum GPA of 2.77

C. Students will be ranked according to

their pre-clinical sequence index

1. All students who have a 3.5 to a

4.0 pre-clinical GPA will be admitted

to the program first with no ranking

based on credits on campus.

2. Students with a 3.01 to a 3.49

pre-clinical GPA will be ranked

according to their pre-sequence

average. If two students have the

same average, a student who has

completed more credits at BCC will

be given preference.

3. Students with a 2.77 to a 3.00

GPA will be ranked

according to the number of credits

on campus.

D. Students transferring from another

college must submit an official

transcript. For Anatomy &

Physiology I & II, students must

transfer in a complete course, i.e.,

the equivalent of BIO 23 and BIO

24, or repeat the whole course at

BCC. Any exceptions to this must

be approved by the Biology

department.


17 of 21 8/5/09 4:09 PM

Rationale: Limited clinical space

severely limits the number of

students admitted into the program.

Therefore, the increased GPA, and

the C+ in BIO 23 and MTH 13

ensures the successful retention

and program completion of the

admitted student.
