items after the add/drop period.

writing and math, helps assess students’ academic readiness
and will help them choose classes that fit their present skill levels.
You are highly encouraged to review the resources available at
mhcc.edu/CPTprep.

Students with transcripted college coursework in reading, writing and/or math may not be required to take the CPT. Visit
mhcc.edu/TransferToMHCC for full instructions on how to transfer to MHCC.
Students who have taken a college placement test (COMPASS,

months may not have to take the CPT. Students should bring a
copy of their score reports to Testing Services to have their scores
evaluated.

or the Student Union, starting one week before
the term begins, or anytime throughout the term.

Associate of Science Degree (AS)
MATHEMATICS
All courses in an AS degree are transfer-level courses and will be evaluated course-by-course at the receiving institution toward satisfying
major, general education or elective degree requirements. Note, this degree does not guarantee that lower division general education
will be fully satisfied upon transfer. This degree articulates well with certain majors such as engineering, biological and physical sciences, and the fine and performing arts that require highly specific lower-division major requirements. There are fewer general education
course requirements in the AS degree than in the AAOT degree, allowing students to complete a greater number of major requirements.

Associate of General Studies Degree (AGS)
The purpose of the degree in general studies is to provide the student an opportunity to pursue a broad general education at
a community college. It is intended as a flexible program for the student who is not preparing for a specific major in the lower
division transfer or career-technical area. Because of the flexibility and broad approach of this degree, a student may find that
courses used to fulfill the requirements may not necessarily be accepted as transfer level at a four-year institution.

Oregon Transfer Module (OTM)
The OTM is a set of 45 general education credits recognized by all Oregon community colleges and Oregon University System
(OUS) schools, designed for students who wish to transfer. Completion of the OTM can help those students taking courses at multiple
post-secondary institutions by ensuring transferability of coursework. This is not a degree or certificate but is documentation on a
student’s transcript that they have met a subset of common general education requirements. Note: The OTM is not intended to be
a first year of the AAOT degree.

Complete a minimum of 45 credits. All courses must be completed with a grade of "C" or better. Students must have a minimum cumulative GPA
of 2.0 at the time the module is completed. Regionally accredited private colleges and universities within the state may offer and issue the Oregon
Transfer Module, which will be accepted at any Oregon public college or university. Oregon Transfer Module credits may not match program
requirements in the receiving school. The OTM supplements, but does not supplant existing articulation agreements and does not replace effective
advising. Courses that are designed to prepare students for college-level work are not applicable to the transfer module. In Humanities (Arts and
Letters), the second year of a foreign language may be included, but not the first year. American Sign Language (ASL) is considered a foreign
language. When choosing courses in science and mathematics, students and advisers should check the specific requirements of receiving schools.
Courses that include a laboratory component, or that deal with specific subjects, may be required for majors or degrees. Computer science courses
used in the Math/Science/Computer Science area must meet Oregon Council of Computer Chairs criteria for a science course.

Certificate Requirements
The one-year certificate will be awarded to students who
satisfy the following requirements:
1. Successfully complete all required courses in a one-year
certificate program as listed in the catalog.
Courses counting toward degree requirements must be
taken sequentially if the course is a prerequisite for another
course. For example, MTH095 may not count toward a degree requirement if taken after MTH111, because MTH095
is a prerequisite for MTH111. However, if a course is not a
prerequisite for another course, the courses may be taken
in any order. For example, HST110 may count toward a
degree requirement if taken after HST111, since HST110
is not a prerequisite to HST111.
2. All programs of study of one academic year or more in
length for which certificates are granted require a recognizable body of instruction in program-related areas of
1) communication, 2) computation (mathematics) and 3)
human relations. Please refer to the individual program
for specific courses.
Career Pathway
Certificate of Completion
Career Pathway Certificate of Completion programs (12-44
credits) acknowledge proficiency in technical skill occupation and are a “stepping stone” toward completion of an
Associate of Applied Science degree. The purpose and intent for a Career Pathway
Certificate of Completion:
• Acknowledges a specific technical skill proficiency to
help a student qualify for a job or enhance employment
opportunities • Provides skill competencies tied to a specific in-demand
occupation or job in local or state economies
• Provides a credential for a segment of a program • Centers on needs of students by providing
educational options • Provides the flexibility to achieve specific competencies
within an aligned career path or program of study
Repeated courses may be counted only once toward
graduation unless specified in the course description or
unless specifically required in a program curriculum.
3. Achieve an MHCC cumulative grade point average GPA
of 2.00 or higher.
4. Maintain a 2.00 GPA for all courses being applied toward
the certificate and maintain a 2.00 GPA in the candidate’s
major classes.
5. Satisfactorily earn 24 credit hours at MHCC and be in
attendance at MHCC the term in which the certificate is
completed. Non-traditional credit (College Level Examination Program, Advanced Placement Program, Challenge,
Experience-Based Credit, International Baccalaureate)
does not satisfy this requirement.
6. Complete the application process two quarters prior to
the quarter of completion (i.e., spring term graduates must
apply during fall term).

Veteran Services
503-491-7346; Room AC1152
mhcc.edu/veteransservices
MHCC is approved as a veterans training institution by the Veterans Administration. The Veteran Services Office, located in Room
AC1152 on the main mall level of the Gresham Campus, provides a one stop, centrally located office to assist students with
veteran related issues. This office handles all Veteran Affairs (VA)
educational paperwork and certification for education benefits
through the VA. We can also provide you referral to federal,
state and local resources and services supporting veterans and
their families.
By federal law this office must audit all transcripts and schedules for students receiving education benefits to ensure course
applicability and satisfactory academic progression. Any class
or grade that does not apply to the degree/certificate declared
on a student’s VA file cannot be certified for veterans educational
benefits.
Classes are certified to the VA for the actual date span and credit
count of the individual classes regardless of term dates. All educational benefit payments from the VA will be based on this information. Please contact this office for further information.
VETERANS MUST NOTIFY THIS OFFICE TO HAVE THEIR
CLASSES CERTIFIED FOR BENEFITS. Qualified students must
inform this office of any and all enrollment changes (drops, adds,
etc.) in addition to processing through the Registration Office.
Failure to do so may result in either an overpayment or underpayment of benefits. All enrollment information and required paperwork must be brought to the Veteran Services Office in person
before a certification can be made. Students are responsible for
providing this information every term.
Standards of Academic Progress for VA students: Students collecting VA benefits, regardless of class load, must maintain a 2.00
session GPA, and are subject to the same standards of academic
progress used by the college for all students. EXCEPTION: All
“W,” U,” “I,” “K” and unearned “F” grades will be reported to the
VA and may result in an overpayment.
CH33 Post 9/11 only – Financial Aid funds pay your tuition and
fees until the VA pays them. Tuition and fees are not reported to
the VA until after the drop/add period to avoid overpayments
and underpayments. If you drop a class after the first day of
the term you may be responsible to repay the VA for any overpayments in tuition, fees, book stipend, and BAH associated with
each dropped class.
Veterans Deferred Payment Plan: A deferral plan for VA eligible
students is available through the Veteran Services Office. This
form must be completed every term to receive the deferral.

market opportunity and the risks involved in a start-up. They must
master interpersonal skills for business communications, negotiations, motivating and closing sales. They must have knowledge of
business operations, contracts, business insurance, bookkeeping
and an understanding of best practices in hiring, training, motivating and rewarding employees. Upon successfully completing
this program, students have an AAS degree and the fundamental
competencies necessary to start and run a small business.
This program is directly focused on the practical, hands-on aspects of small businesses.
Preparing a student to start and successfully operate his or her
own small business is the emphasis of the Entrepreneurship and
Small Business Management program. This program encompasses the aspects of starting a business from initial evaluation of an opportunity and forming the structure of the business to operational
management. Essential elements covered in this program include:
• Risks involved in starting a business
• Valuing an existing business
• Fundamentals of franchising
• Effective small business operating methods
• Cash flow analysis
Program Outcomes
• Construct a feasibility study

to the two-year degree program. Therefore, it is easy for a student
who earns a one-year certificate to decide to go on for an AAS
degree. Please refer to Business Management: Entrepreneurship

The Child Development and Early Education program prepares
students to work with young children and their families in a variety
of settings and sets the stage for those who wish to pursue higher
levels of training and education. It is a broad-based foundation
of theory and practice intended to support both those who have

about potential options. Many of the courses are also well-suited
for parents and paraprofessional support staff.
As an open entry program, we welcome students of diverse backgrounds and ages. However, all students must demonstrate the
necessary emotional stability and maturity, the cognitive skills
and abilities and the physical stamina and responsiveness needed by professionals in this field. Students with challenges in any
area should consult the program adviser for individual planning.
With or without accommodation, students must fulfill all program
competencies and expectations, including those of our practicum
courses in classroom with young children. The number of practicum (co-op) placement sites is limited and students may only enroll in these courses with program faculty permission.
Graduates are prepared to be employed in a variety of capacities such as working with children in childcare, preschool or primary grades and supporting parents and family members at
home and in formal settings.
Coursework and practicum experiences emphasize the understanding and application of typical child growth and development theories, guidance skills, supporting high quality interactions
and activities for young children, and fostering positive growth
and development in all young children.
Program Outcomes
• Promote learning environments designed to optimize
children’s development in all domains
• Develop positive relationships with families and community
• Provide a rationale for effective observation,
documentation and assessment of children’s development
52
• Support Developmentally Appropriate Practices and all
relevant guidelines
• Use content knowledge and inquiry tools to analyze
meaningful curriculum
• Demonstrate an exemplary work ethic and uphold the
standards of the profession

The Computer Game Development degree program introduces
the student to software and techniques currently used in the computer game industry and is appropriate for both new students
and experienced workers. Using popular software, students are
introduced to 3-D (three-dimensional) character creation, modeling and rigging (using Maya), creating textures for characters (using Photoshop), creating applications for small computers (using
software such as Unity) and working with game industry engines
(such as the Unreal game engine). Students create an online and
physical portfolio suitable for interviews and also learn small
business entrepreneurship skills necessary in the “indie” (independent) market.
Students completing this program are exposed to the skills and
techniques essential to employment in the local game industry,
have opportunity for advanced learning at other schools, and
have access to careers that use 3-D imaging and entry-level computer careers.
Program Outcomes
• Contrast various computer gaming techniques
• Explain the use of 3-D object components, polygons and
joints
• Create different surface types for 3-D objects and apply them
for use in appropriate interactive applications
• Evaluate a broad range of game engines and
demonstrate appropriate design application to those
engines
• Use industry standards to apply realistic animation
techniques
• Apply gaming techniques to non-game animation uses such
as marketing, simulations and social networking
• Work collaboratively in a real-world-like team to identify,
design and create a game using developmental techniques
commonly used in industry

Students must contact MHCC WorkSource Oregon staff, faculty
adviser or academic adviser for assistance in developing the Employment Skills Training (EST).
The Employment Skills Training Certificate provides flexibility for
students who are seeking specific training for an occupational
goal and job-entry preparation. EST certificates have the following components:
• 12-44 credits
• Minimum college prerequisites and/or industry
proficiencies (see section minimum proficiencies)
• Each pre-approved plan will target a specific
occupational goal and job entry point in existing degree
and certificate career/technical programs
• Students can enroll at the beginning of any term during
the year
Minimum College Prerequisites or Industry Proficiencies:
Students must demonstrate minimum skill prerequisites defined by
college and/or industry standards, whichever is most applicable,
70
beneficial to the student and academically sound. Industry standards are understood through consultation with employers, market information, career-technical advisery committee members
and other data sources. Division deans have final authority over
setting minimum prerequisites or industry proficiencies.
Students must meet college prerequisites for all courses included
in the approved plan.
Occupational proficiency is defined specific to chosen occupations and industry standards.
Planning a Curriculum - Creating a Certificate
Before beginning a curriculum, students are required to have a
pre-approved plan in place.
An interview with an adviser or a faculty member with the careertechnical department is required to determine the student’s career
goals as they relate to employability and program content. All
MHCC college-level courses are eligible to be included in the
certificate. Developmental or basic education courses may not
be included as part of the certificate.
The curriculum plan is initiated when the student meets with an adviser and completes the Individual Student Plan form. The adviser
then meets with the applicable division dean to review the plan.
Plan contents are reviewed, amended and approved by the division dean. A copy of the approved plan is provided to the student,
the adviser and the Admissions, Registration and Records office.
Students must have an approved EST Individual Student Plan on
file with the Admissions, Registration and Records office by the
beginning of their final term and this will serve as the petition for
certificate completion. It is the responsibility of the student to petition for the certificate. If the student does not complete the course
of study after one year, the plan will be purged and the student
will need to reinstate another plan.
Engineering Technology Programs:
Architectural, Civil, CivilEnvironmental or Mechanical
Engineering Technology is a technical career that involves the

successfully raise a variety of aquatic species
• Design, conduct and present (written and oral) a fisheriesrelated research project
• Apply a variety of building and equipment maintenance
techniques commonly employed at fish culture facilities
• Demonstrate and apply basic biological principles to the
study of fish
• Demonstrate and apply basic statistical processes to the
analysis of fisheries data
• Discuss current issues impacting the field of natural
resources
• Conduct and record a stream survey in accordance with a
standardized procedure
Chest waders and rain gear are required and must be purchased
by the student. Students completing the program will usually assist in propagation and rearing of game and food fish. Because
of the rigorous activity demanded by the work, good physical
condition is a necessity.

Medical Billing/Claims Analyst
Room AC2772
Medical billing specialists are vital for the efficient management
of all aspects of billing. A medical billing specialist’s responsibilities can include expert management of healthcare billing-processing, adjusting and resubmitting of claims; adherence to current
healthcare industry regulations and policies; and compliance
with insurance procedures and allotted benefit coverage. Billing
specialists understand the information on identification cards, distinguish between Medicare and Medicaid and understand Blue
Cross/Blue Shield coverage and workers’ compensation benefits.
A claims analyst uses the same skills as a billing specialist. The
duties of a claims analyst may include overseeing claims processing and payments to third-party providers, monitoring charges
and verifying correct payment of claims, sending denial letters on
claims and sending follow-up requests for information. The claims
analyst reviews payment reports for accuracy and compliance.
Medical billing specialists/claims analysts can work in hospitals,
insurance companies, doctors’ offices, medical billing companies,
nursing homes, medical group practices, home health agencies
and medical clinics.
Students who complete this shorter term Medical Billing/Claims
Analyst program can go to work and return at any time to complete the Medical Office Specialist AAS degree.

Medical Coding is an important healthcare profession and is
one of the few that does not require direct contact with patients.
Coders may specialize by department or by disease depending
on the type of employer. Coders will check medical charts for
accuracy and completion, verify signatures, verify medical data
in computers, clarify information or diagnosis by communicating
with the provider and assign the appropriate diagnosis and procedural codes. These codes are used for insurance and billing
purposes.

Respiratory care is a discipline that uses scientific principles to
carry out physician directed diagnosis and treatment of abnormal respiratory conditions. Respiratory care practitioners work in
a variety of settings, including hospitals, medical clinics, skilled
nursing facilities, home care, research, education and medical
equipment sales.
The program combines basic science and modern respiratory
care theory with clinical experience in local medical centers.
Both campus and clinical learning focus on all areas of respiratory care, which includes adult, neonatal and pediatric, general
and intensive care.
The Respiratory Care program prepares the student for both local and national standards. Graduates are eligible to take the
national entry level examination and the national advanced practitioner level examinations administered by the National Board
for Respiratory Care. Passing these examinations serves to fulfill
state licensure testing requirements.
The personal requirements necessary to succeed as a respiratory
care practitioner include a general aptitude for the biological
and physical sciences. The respiratory care practitioner is required to understand the physiology and pathology of circulation
and respiration. Also required is the emotional maturity to deal
with decision making in critical life and death situations.
Graduates of this program are able to apply for entry into several
Bachelor of Science in Respiratory Care completion programs.
Completion of the program and attainment of the appropriate national credential prepares the graduate for career opportunities
in hospitals, clinics, sub-acute care facilities, transport and technical support agencies.

Transfer Information
Planning for a Successful Transfer
Admission, general education, degree and graduation requirements vary among colleges and universities. Therefore, it is vital to
plan ahead for transfer by reviewing catalogs and transfer advising guides for the various transfer schools. Planning for transfer is
an important part of one’s educational preparation.
Success in the transfer process is largely the result of careful planning and attention to the requirements of transfer colleges. Transfer success is a student’s individual responsibility. However, prudent use of available resources and advising can help to ensure
a smooth transition to a four-year institution. Students can benefit
from following these tips for successful transfer:
Plan Ahead: Enroll in HD100: College Success and/or
contact an adviser at MHCC to develop an education plan.
If you need help with choosing a major or career, enroll in
HD110 or HD208, and/or contact the Career Planning and
Counseling Center.
Maintain Contact: Establish early contact with admissions
representatives and major advisers both at MHCC and transfer colleges. Keep in touch with them in order to keep up to
date on major and transfer requirements.
Know the Rules: Pay attention to GPA and transfer credit
policies, application deadlines and both general education
and major course requirements of transfer schools.
Confirm Transferability of Courses: Not all 100-200 level
courses transfer to all four-year schools (refer to page 255 of
the MHCC college catalog). It is strongly recommended that
students contact the four-year university they plan to attend
(immediately) to check admission requirements, deadlines,
and the suggested freshman and sophomore classes required
in the chosen field. Universities and four-year colleges have
the “last say” on transferability.
MHCC.EDU
Ask for Help: Make sure you have current and complete
information; check the resources above or ask your transfer/
receiving school directly for what you need to complete the
transfer process successfully.
Transfer Departments and Faculty Advisers
Students can prepare for transfer at MHCC in many areas of
study! These majors may lead toward hundreds of potential
careers. Faculty advisers are assigned to assist students with appropriate educational planning, selection of transfer schools and
keeping updated on changing requirements and standards. Faculty advisers provide expertise to students majoring in their fields.
Lists of advisers for all majors are updated annually and posted
to the MHCC website at mhcc.edu/progadvisers.
Academic Advising and Transfer Center
Many resources can be used to research potential transfer colleges and to learn about their degree programs and requirements
Students may use the center’s computers to access Web pages
for hundreds of colleges and universities. Regular visits by transfer college representatives also enable MHCC students to make
personal inquiries related to their transfer plans.
Transfer Days
Each winter term, representatives from colleges and universities
visit MHCC for Transfer Days. This conveniently scheduled and
located “fair” gives students the opportunity to investigate several
colleges at one time. Personal contact with college reps offers
a chance to ask for detailed information about transfer subjects
and procedures. For information on upcoming Transfer Days, students may contact the Academic Advising and Transfer Center in
AC 2253, or call 503-491-7315.
How Should Students
Choose a Transfer Degree?
Any of the following options can work well if you want to begin
your bachelor’s degree at Mt. Hood Community College.
Associate of ArtsOregon Transfer Degree (AAOT)
gree program at one of the Oregon’s public university-system
schools. OUS schools include University of Oregon, Oregon
State University, Eastern Oregon University, Western Oregon
University, Southern Oregon University, Portland State University
and Oregon Institute of Technology. The AA/OT offers students
the flexibility to choose courses that interest them while meeting
university lower division general education requirements.
Any student having the Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer (AAOT)
degree recognized on an official college transcript will have met
the lower division General Education requirements of baccalaureate degree programs of any institution in the Oregon University
System.
Students transferring under this agreement will have junior status
for registration purposes. Course, class standing or GPA requirements for specific majors, departments or schools are not necessarily satisfied by an AAOT degree.
Students need to be ready for college-level mathematics, writing
and science in order to complete the AAOT degree in two years.
Students who lack the necessary skills, MHCC offers excellent
preparatory courses and tutorial assistance to help students get
on track quickly.
Although the AAOT provides an excellent structure for many
students—particularly those who are unsure of their primary academic focus—it is not ideal for everyone. In particular, it does not
articulate well with certain majors such as engineering, biological and physical sciences and the fine and performing arts. Students contemplating these majors cannot easily accommodate
their highly-specific prerequisite coursework into the AAOT framework. In general, an AAOT recipient who is pursuing any course
of study that is credit-heavy at the major lower-division level may
have to take additional lower-division coursework, specific to the
major, after transfer. Students contemplating such majors should
consult closely with an adviser and may instead want to consider
the Associate of Science degree.
A limited number of private and out-of-state institutions also accept the AA/OT. These include Concordia University, Pacific
University, Warner Pacific College, George Fox University and
Marylhurst University in the Portland area, as well as Western
Baptist College, BYU - Hawaii, Hawaii Pacific University, Boise
State University, Seattle Pacific University and Washington State
University - Vancouver. Some of these schools have unique general education requirements that must also be met. Advisers can
assist students planning for those courses.
The AAOT degree is designed for students planning to complete
an associate’s degree before transferring into a bachelor’s de-
131
CAREER-TECHNICAL
Mt. Hood Community College is an excellent starting place for
students who wish to transfer to a four-year university or college
and pursue a bachelor’s degree. MHCC students can complete
all or most of the lower-division general education requirements
for both public and private four-year colleges and universities.
The advantages of starting a four-year program at MHCC include smaller classes, lower costs, instructors’ focus on teaching
excellence and the availability of courses for improvement of
skills in reading, writing and mathematics.
Utilize Transfer Resources: This catalog, academic advisers (Academic Advising and Transfer Center), MHCC faculty
advisers and the annual Transfer Days event are key sources
of information and guidance.
TRANSFER - AREAS OF STUDY
TRANSFER
Associate of Science –
Oregon Transfer–Business (ASOT–Business)
and
Associate of Science
Oregon Transfer-Computer Science
(ASOT-CS)
ASOT degrees are designed for students planning to complete
an associate degree before transferring into a bachelor's degree
program at one of the Oregon's public university-system schools.
The schools include University of Oregon, Oregon State University, Eastern Oregon University, Western Oregon University,
Southern Oregon University, Portland State University and Oregon Institute of Technology.
A student that completes an AS/OT degree and transfers to an
Oregon public university, will have met the lower-division general education requirements for that institution's baccalaureate
degree programs.
GPA requirements for entry into the major are not necessarily
satisfied by an AS/OT degree. Once admitted to the university
and either the Business or Computer Science program, however,
students transferring under this agreement will have junior standing for both for the Business / Computer Science major and for
university registration purposes.
All courses should be aligned with the student's intended program of study and the degree requirements of the baccalaureate institution to which the student plans to transfer. A student is
encouraged to work with an adviser in the selection of courses
within the ASOT degree for alignment to the institution the student
intends to transfer. Students should work with an academic or
faculty adviser early in the development of their educational plan.
Associate of Science (AS)
Associate of Science is a state approved associate degree that
is intended to prepare students to transfer into an upper division
baccalaureate degree program in such areas as Business, Science, Mathematics and Engineering at one of the Oregon’s public university-system schools.
Completion of this degree does not guarantee (as does the
AAOT and ASOT–business degrees) that lower-division General
Education requirements of an Oregon public university will be
fully satisfied. However, all courses approved for an AS degree
are transfer-level courses and will be evaluated course-by course
at the receiving institution toward satisfying major, general education or elective degree requirements.
This degree articulates well with certain majors such as engineering, biological and physical sciences and the fine and performing
132
arts. Students contemplating these majors can more easily accommodate highly-specific major requirements into the AS framework.
In selecting courses for this degree, students are highly encouraged to consult the specific faculty adviser and the institution to
which they intend to transfer to determine if it is an appropriate
choice.
The Associate of General Studies (AGS)
The Associate of General Studies degree may be a useful alternative for direct transfer students. This flexible degree option
enables a student to complete an associate’s degree that may
be tailored to the general education requirements of a transfer
school. Students must exercise caution in using the AGS option,
as the degree itself does not guarantee course transferability of
courses. The AGS degree requirements may include non-transferrable coursework. Educational planning for the Associate of
General Studies should be done with the help of an adviser.
The Oregon Transfer Module (OTM)
The OTM is a set of 45 general education credits recognized by
all Oregon community colleges and Oregon public universities,
designed for students who wish to transfer. Completion of the
OTM can help those students taking courses at multiple post-secondary institutions by ensuring transferability of coursework. This
is not a degree or certificate but is documentation on a student’s
transcript that they have met a subset of common general education requirements.
In the case of community colleges, these will be courses approved
for the Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer (AAOT) degree; in the
case of universities and four-year colleges, they will be courses
approved for the General Education part of a baccalaureate degree. All courses must be passed with a grade of “C” or better
and must be worth at least 3 credits.
Direct Transfer
Transferring without a degree from MHCC is also an option for
some students. Students in certain majors may need to transfer
after one year in order to take advantage of critical major courses offered at the four-year school in the sophomore year. Or, a
student may choose to select only the specific courses required
for a specific major and/or college. When a student opts for
direct transfer, MHCC courses are evaluated and accepted on a
course-by-course basis by the transfer school.
Students should be aware of their selected schools transfer admission requirements and general education degree requirements. It
is each student’s responsibility to learn the program requirements
of any prospective transfer school and to keep up to date on
changes in those requirements. Therefore, students should periodically contact the transfer schools for updates.

Economics
Peter Cunningham: 503-491-7023 Room AC2683
[email protected]
Economics at MHCC focuses on improving economic literacy—
the ability to apply economic principles to personal, business
and political issues. Transfer students who follow the Principles
of Economics sequence at MHCC report superb preparation for
upper division courses in economics. Students also report that
economics was one of the most significant classes they took as
undergraduates—it taught them how to think critically.
Economic majors find jobs in private industry and government.
They continue to graduate school in law, political science, economics, business administration and engineering.
Economics can provide a student a broad background that can
be applied to numerous other areas besides economics.
Curricular Outcomes
• Explain the basic concepts and principles of economics
• Draw correct conclusions from published graphs and
statistics of the economy and economic behavior
• Verbalize the economic arguments behind current
economic policies
• Distinguish between domestic and international economic
issues
The following plan of classes is a general guide to prepare students to pursue an economics degree at a college or university.

If you want to be an elementary or secondary school teacher,
you will be making a number of decisions: What age group do
you want to teach? What subject do you want to teach? Will
you transfer to a school with an undergraduate (four-year/bachelor’s) or graduate (fifth year/master’s) teaching program? Which
school do you want to transfer to? The answer to these questions will help determine the appropriate courses to take. MHCC
offers a number of education courses to help you determine if
teaching is really for you and prepare you for transfer to a fouryear university. Three courses, ED142, ED200 and ED209A/B,
are recommended for students who want to more fully explore
the profession before beginning an educational program.
Curricular Outcomes
• Demonstrate the reflective practitioner skills of observation
and reflection
• Provide an educational plan for their preferred Teacher
Education program
Teaching in the public school system requires a professional
license from the Teacher Standards and Practices Commission
(TSPC) requiring a bachelor’s or higher degree from an approved university program. TSPC requires particular coursework,
tests and experiences depending upon the grade level and subject matter to be taught. Education program requirements vary
widely at the baccalaureate level, so a student’s coursework must
be planned in accordance with his or her chosen transfer institution. It is recommended that students work closely with the MHCC
Education faculty adviser and their transfer institution to develop
a meaningful course of study at MHCC. Failure to talk with both
the MHCC Education faculty adviser and the transfer institution
adviser often results in course credits that are not accepted, missing course requirements, wasted financial aid and time delays. In
order to reduce many of these difficulties, students are strongly
encouraged to complete an Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer
degree with adviser help. ED142 Education Orientation and
ED200 Introduction to Education are courses that should be taken early to help with planning what to take and where to transfer.
Depending upon the transfer institution, these two courses are
required or strongly suggested. These two courses, plus an early
field experience taken as soon as possible, will help confirm that
this is the correct profession for you and set you on the correct
path.
Students interested in teaching at the elementary level (Pre-K to
eighth grade) will want to follow a course of study that is multidisciplinary since they will teach many subjects. There are a number
of Elementary Teacher Education programs in the Portland area.
Eastern Oregon University (EOU) offers a Bachelor of Science
in multidisciplinary studies and elementary education on the
MHCC campus. Additional endorsements in Reading and ESOL
are possible. See an EOU adviser located on MHCC’s Gresham
Campus.
Students interested in teaching at the secondary level (middle or
high school) will want to follow a course of study that reflects the
major area they wish to teach (i.e., math, social science, science,
health/PE, language arts, etc.).
It is very important to consult with education advisers at both
MHCC and at the school you wish to transfer to as soon as
possible since licensure and university requirements vary. Again,
ED142 Education Orientation and ED200 Introduction to Education are courses that should be taken early to help with planning
what to take and where to transfer.
Note: The following is not a complete list of courses needed to
complete an AAOT degree. Please see MHCC faculty education
adviser.

History majors systematically observe and document the past. A
history degree can lead to a career teaching history, or to founding or managing a business, or reporting the news, or managing
an archive, or government, law and other professions.
Corporate management trainers report liberal arts majors advance further in business careers than students with other majors,
and recent figures show that students majoring in history score
especially well in entrance examinations for Master of Business
Administration (MBA) programs and law school.
Curricular Outcomes
• Identify and analyze major events and developments of
significant cultures and civilizations
• Identify and analyze the interrelationships of selected
social, cultural, political, economic and geographic
systems
• Recognize the effects of historical events upon subsequent
issues and situations
• Demonstrate basic competence in geography and discuss
the effects of geography upon historical events
• Use basic tools of historical inquiry - especially the
practice of finding evidence, weighing its importance and
validity and applying it to a historical problem
• Recognize different interpretations of historical events

In today’s globalized world, proficiency in more than one language is necessary, even crucial, for both careers and personal
relations. At MHCC, we help students to not only fulfill their degree language requirement, but also to make them more competitive in the job market, here in Oregon and anywhere else.
Learning another language can also bring a lifelong source of
pleasure, whether from travel, the joy of learning about other
cultures or meeting and getting to know other people better. At
MHCC, we offer American Sign Language (ASL), French1, German1, Japanese and Spanish. What’s the “best” language to
learn? It’s the one that addresses one’s own strengths, needs and
personal interests, as well as one’s career plans.
In addition to the many courses we offer on campus and online,
we are also ready to help students deepen their linguistic abilities
and understanding of other cultures by making several exciting
study abroad opportunities available each year. These include
a summer programs in Kyoto (Japan) and a winter program in
San Isidro del General (Costa Rica), as well as other programs
whenever possible, in France, Spain or Mexico. Financial aid
packages are available for our students studying abroad.
First Year (Beginning) 101, 102, 103:
At the completion of the first year, students should be able to:
• Listening—understand short, learned utterances and some
sentence-length utterances
• Speaking
-Express personal information by relying on learned phrases or re-combinations of these
-Manage uncomplicated communicative tasks in straightforward social situations
-Ask simple questions or make statements involving
learned material
• Reading—exhibit sufficient control of the writing system to
interpret written language in limited areas of practical need
• Writing—produce material consisting of re-combinations of
learned vocabulary and structures into simple sentences
on familiar topics
Second Year (Intermediate) 201, 202, 203:
At the completion of the second year, students should be able to:
• Listening—sustain comprehension over longer stretches
(beyond the sentence level)
• Speaking
-Express personal information by creating with the language
-Initiate, sustain and close a general conversation with a
number of strategies
-Exhibit evidence of connected discourse, particularly for
simple narration and description
• Reading—read consistently with increased understanding
simple connected texts dealing with a variety of basic and
social needs
• Writing—demonstrate most practical writing needs
including simple letters, paraphrases and summaries of
biographical data, work and school experiences
The following plan of classes is a general guide to prepare students to pursue a Bachelor of Arts degree in a second language

educational plan.
All Oregon transfer students must fulfill a second language requirement. Oregon University Schools (OUS) admission requires
two college terms of the first year (101 and 102) of a language
other than English OR four semesters in high school. Graduation
with a Bachelor of Arts requires the second year (201, 202 and
203, or equivalent) of a language other than English. Secondyear courses are offered at MHCC in the following languages:
ASL, Japanese and Spanish. Second-year courses in other languages are offered on an infrequent basis.
IMPORTANT: It is strongly recommended that students take the
next course in a sequence only if they complete the previous one
with a C or better.

Philosophy
Chris Jackson: 503-491-7284 [email protected]
Room AC2672
Philosophers are interested in trying to provide plausible answers
to life’s most profound questions. 1. What, ultimately, is going on?
Is there a God who created us for some purpose? Must we grasp
this purpose and take specific actions or be on the losing side of
some great spiritual battle? Is God perhaps merely interested in
watching the show? Is nature all there is and God a mere figment
of our imaginations? 2. What kind of thing is a human being?
Are we creatures of God possessing an immortal soul, or are
we merely animals? Were we created by intelligent design, or
are we the product solely of naturalistic evolutionary processes?
Do we have sufficient freedom of the will to be truly deserving of
praise and blame for what we do, or are we only complicated
physical systems like computers and storms that are not responsible morally for what they do? 3. How should a human being
live? Should I seek mainly my own happiness? How concerned
with the welfare of others should I be? How should I treat others
and expect others to treat me? It is true that philosophers rarely
reach a consensus about which answer is indisputably the right
one for any given philosophical question. But it is still the case that,
as with other noble pursuits, the connoisseur of ideas can at least
identify the few best answers, and from these few he or she can
sometimes reach personal closure - an intelligent and informed
personal closure. So why let others answer these questions for
you? Why settle for being a secondhand person? Isn’t it time to
own your mind?

Physics is the study of the structure and organization of the universe. It encompasses the observation of forces and matter, of
motion, of cause and effect and of the intrinsic properties of
space and time. Physics analyzes these concepts in detail and
uses them to synthesize models of complex phenomena.
Curricular Outcomes
• Retain and apply critical physics concepts while enrolled
in the curriculum and upon transfer
• Work cooperatively, use equipment and instruments
properly and carefully analyze data in the laboratory
setting
• Demonstrate mastery of physics concepts
• Transition conceptual material into accurate mathematical
models
• Utilize calculus-based mathematics to solve physics
problems

Why study politics? Many students think political science is “dry”
and “boring.” Nothing could be further from the truth. Politics affects the way you think, eat, dress, socialize and work, so it may
be worth knowing about. Once you do know about it you can
begin to 1) understand what is going on around you, and 2) think
for yourself. Here’s what students say: “I feel more powerful now
knowing what I know; “It changed my life;” “It was fun!”
The following plan of classes is a general guide to prepare students to pursue a political science degree at a college or university. To prepare for such a degree and at the same time meet
MHCC degree requirements, follow one of the transfer degree

The exploratory curriculum is recommended as a starting place
for students who are undecided about a major. The intent of this
curriculum is to allow students to actively explore their educational options while also working towards an MHCC degree.
Actively exploring educational options involves meeting with a
faculty adviser on a regular basis, taking a career planning class
and taking exploratory classes.
Curriculum Outcomes
• Establish short and long term academic and career goals
• Utilize learned skills and strategies to continue personal
and professional exploration, growth and development
• Identify and evaluate personal preferences and strengths
and implement strategies for continuous growth
The following plan of classes is a general guide to prepare students to pursue a liberal arts degree at a college or university. To
on pages 10-22. It should be noted that while this curriculum is
a good fit for liberal arts degrees, the AAOT does not guarantee
junior status for all schools, departments or major requirements
with regard to courses or grade point average.
A note on exploratory classes:
A great way to “try out” a major is to take an introductory, or
exploratory, class in the area you are interested in. Doing this
gives you the opportunity to check out a variety of possible majors; you may even discover, in this process, the one you want to
pursue. The guide to exploratory classes below follows the distribution degree requirements for the AAOT and allows a student to
sample specific academic areas.
The first three quarters we suggest you choose classes that seem
the most interesting to you (this is your exploration time). The second three quarters are when you need to make sure you are
meeting the rest of the degree requirements if you choose to
graduate with an AAOT.
Students are strongly encouraged to meet with their faculty adviser (see above) on a quarterly basis.
First Year
Suggested activities for the first year (first - third quarters)
• Meet with your faculty adviser each quarter to ensure you
are on the right track
• Learn about and explore subjects of interest
• Join a club or campus organization
• Create an educational plan with your faculty adviser
• Plan ahead for each quarter
• Learn about and use campus resources
• Make friends
• Reflect on your exploration classes - which are your
favorite and why?
• Conduct information interviews with faculty advisers in
academic areas of interest to clarify your academic goals
• Make a decision about what subject you want to major in
