General Education

COMPREHENSIVE GOAL OF GENERAL-EDUCATION COURSESThe general-education core is intended to apply to all degrees and certificates recognized by the State Board of Education (SBOE). A central component of SBOE policy is the require-ment that a student working toward a degree or certificate must complete coursework in the general-education core.

The general-education core is required for programs leading to a professional-technical certificate or a two-year degree at the College of Western Idaho. This core serves to equip students with the skills, knowledge, and awareness needed to commu-nicate effectively, make informed decisions, and contribute to the global community as lifelong learners. These abilities will help students lead enriched, productive, and responsible lives, which is an integral component of CWI’s mission.

CWI believes that the preparation of educated, literate people for careers and participation in society must include a strong foundation of knowledge from a broad framework of educa-tional domains. To satisfy the general-education core require-ment at CWI, students must complete coursework from multiple areas to achieve the following six goals:

1. COMMUNICATION GOAL: To enhance the student’s ability to communicate clearly, correctly, logically, and persuasively in spoken English.

2. ENGLISH GOAL: To gain experience in the process of writing essays, to eval-uate, to communicate clearly, and to incorporate and cite sources.

3. HUMANITIES GOAL:To comprehend the human experience as it has been portrayed and amplified through the visual arts, performing arts, languages, literature, and philosophy.

4. MATHEMATICS GOAL: To gain an understanding of mathematics as a language in which to express, define, and answer questions about the world.

5. SCIENCE GOAL: To gain an understanding of the world through natural sciences.

6. SOCIAL SCIENCE GOAL: To understand, interpret, and apply knowledge for evaluating and valuing human behavior in its anthropological, economic, geographical, historical, political, psychological, and socio-logical contexts.

Programs of StudyFire Service Technology

PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS

Leading to an Associate of Applied Science degree, the Fire Service Technology program is designed to upgrade the skills and knowledge of volunteer and paid firefighters in all phases of firefighting. The intent of this program is to provide fire-fighters with the latest technology needed to save lives and protect property in a safe and efficient manner. Participants must be members of paid or volunteer fire departments because specific activities in these courses require access to facilities and equipment located at fire departments. Courses are delivered through local fire departments, on demand, when sufficient enrollment is secured.

Special fees apply to these programs.

Physical Therapist Assistant


The Physical Therapist Assistant Consortium Program prepares students for employment as physical therapist assistants (PTA). The PTA functions through the direction of a physical thera-pist (PT) to implement the PT’s plan of care. The ultimate goal of physical therapy is to aid patients and clients in returning to maximal function. PTA students are instructed in thinking processes and skills such as therapeutic exercise, ortho-pedic and neurological interventions, therapeutic modalities, and the art of patient care. In addition to patient treatment courses, students study the basic sciences of anatomy, physi-ology, clinical pathology, and kinesiology. Clinical education experiences are integrated throughout the curriculum and offer students the opportunity to practice the techniques learned and practiced each semester. The program is designed to be completed in two years.

Effective November 6, 2013, the Idaho Physical Therpist Assistant Consortium Program has been granted Candidate for Accreditation status by the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (1111 North Fairfax Street, Alexandria, VA, 22314; phone: 703-706-3245; email: [email protected]). Candidate for Accreditation is a pre-accredita-tion status of affiliation with the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education that indicates that the program may matriculate students in technical courses and that the program is progressing toward accreditation. Candidate for Accreditation is not an accreditation status nor does it assure eventual accreditation.
