The purpose of Heald Business College is to

Heald in the 1990s
Meeting Changing Needs
Although Heald's mission has never
changed --to train students for entry- and
intermediate-level jobs in the shortest possible time -- the College has been continuously reinventing itself for over 130 years. As
the needs of business and society change, so
does Heald.
Heald programs are also constantly adapting to meet changing needs. As new skills
are needed in the workplace, the curriculum
is altered accordingly so that Heald graduates are ready to meet these challenges.
The most obvious sign of change is the
constant upgrading of equipment. New
486 PCs are beginning to replace our 386s.
Inside our computers, new versions of the
software programs most used by businesses
are being installed. Changes happening in
business technology are quickly mirrored in
the Heald classroom and curriculum.
1875
1876
Electricity and telegraphy bring important
changes to business and industry. The demand
for individuals with technical skills leads to the
establishment of Heald Engineering College, the
precursor of today's Heald Institute of

Challenge of Diversity
Just as the workplace changes, so does society itself. As the population becomes more
diverse, Heald understands the importance of
meeting the needs of individuals seeking new
opportunities. While most of the student
body is made up of
relatively young
adults, a
significant number
of older students
enroll each year to
learn new skills.
Others are international students who
need to learn
American business
practices. These students may have considerable work experience. "Some even have college degrees.
Whatever their backgrounds, they share a
need and a desire to improve their lives by
learning modern business and computer
skills. One way Heald is meeting this need
is through the introduction of new programs, such as the College Plus program,
especially designed for college graduates.
Postsecondary Education Today
The value of postsecondary education is
indisputable. A 1993 federal report shows
that a high school graduate can expect an
average of $621,000 in lifetime earnings.
Individuals with an Associate Degree,
however, can expect to earn an average of
$1,062,000 -- 71 percent more. Those with
a Bachelor's Degree earn a lifetime average
of $1,421,000.
In spite of these facts, college graduation
rates have stagnated in recent years.
1879
1878
The Remington Type- Writer is manufactured for mass production. Heald
College begins classes using the new machine shortly thereafter. The first textbook
to teach typewriting is 16 pages long. It opens from left to right for easier use at
the typewriter.

Heald adds typewriting
and shorthand to the
curriculum. The first
women students are
enrolled, as employment
opportunities for women
expand.
Individuals seeking a Bachelor's Degree may
need to attend school for four or even six
years. Many students simply can't afford to
spend that much time in school.
A Focused Education
Heald offers another choice -- a focused
education. Courses are limited to essential
skills and knowledge in order to prepare
graduates for entry- and intermediate-level
positions in high-growth job categories. The
Heald Business College learning experience
provides each graduate with a solid background of practical education directly related to the job market.
The Heald Difference
Heald differs from community colleges
and four-year schools. First, Heald
programs are concentrated, so the"'"'·
graduating student is trained in the
shortest possible time.
Second, Heald provides an environment that
parallels the actual work environment. Like
employees on the job, Heald students are
expected to dress and act
in a professional manner.
Attendance standards are
those expected in the workplace. All this is designed
to help graduates make an
easy transition from school
to the workplace.
Third, every effort is made
to keep class size small, in
order to provide optimum
attention to every student.
Maximum class size is
limited to 36 students.
Fourth, perhaps most importantly, every member of the Heald faculty
and staff is dedicated to ensuring that students succeed. Admissions Counselors,
Instructors, and Deans make it a point to be
accessible. Individual tutoring, day care
advice, and other personal assistance are all
part of the Heald support system.

Where the Jobs Will Be
Heald programs focus on career areas where
good jobs are available. Today, virtually all
of these good jobs require computer skills, a
fact reflected in tbe Heald curriculum. The
U.S. Department of Labor states that the
need for men and women with computerrelated business skills will grow rapidly
through the year 2005. These employees
will be expected to have sophisticated computer, word processing, and data processing
skills. A recent nationwide study shows that
the top three skills companies require are
general computer knowledge, word processing ability, and familiarity with current software programs -- all skills taught at Heald.
is a reflection of Heald's reputation for
providing business and industry with welltrained employees. Each year, hundreds of
employers contact the Placement Office to
meet their personnel needs.

Heald Business College helps develop
attributes that make a person more employable. In addition to business skills, training
is provided in preparing resumes, letters of
application, interviewing, and benefits comparison. Attitudes, ethics, and values are
also important to career development and
are emphasized in classroom discussion as
well as in Placement Office counseling.
Heald Business College is recognized by
the business community as an excellent
resource for qualified entry- and intermediate-level employees. The Placement Director
works with graduating students to assist
them in matching skills with current job
opemngs.
Placement assistance is not limited to the
first job after graduation. Graduates may
request assistance any time they are in the
job market. Job placement assistaiice is a
lifetime benefit.

The ability to use the English language effectively is indispensable since English has become the international language of
commerce. The English as a Second Language Program is designed to satisfy the needs of those who wish to prepare for a
career in business, whether in the United States or in other countries, or further their education in English-speaking institutions.
The English as a Second Language Program accommodates students at various levels of English proficiency. The curriculum
consists of five subject areas, each divided into three levels of proficiency.
Placement testing is conducted during new-student orientation at the College. If the testing indicates a level of English
proficiency which is not acceptable for pursuit of a business program, the student is placed in the English as a Second
Language Program. The results of the oral and written tests as well as previous English education provide the basis for
determining placement levels for the student. Therefore, a student may require three quarters (36 weeks) of English as a
Second Language if the student has had no previous English or fewer quarters if the student has studied English previously.
Business
Basics
I
Heald's Business Basics I program offers students the opportunity to improve their English communication skills while
studying basic business skills which will apply toward any Heald Associate in Applied Science program.
Application to the Business Basics I program is based upon admission test scores and an interview with an Admissions
Counselor and the Dean. Students from any ESL program who are at the advanced level may apply for admission to
Business Basics I. Program length may be either one or two quarters, as necessary, to complete eligibility for entry into the
E101 English class. Most students in this program will require at least one additional quarter to complete their program.

Government projections indicate that employment opportunities for accountants are expected to grow faster than the average for all occupations through the year 2005. As the economy grows, the number of business establishments increases, thereby requiring more accountants to set up books, prepare taxes, and provide management advice. Changes in laws
create more complex requirements related to taxes, financial reporting standards, investments, mergers, and accounting procedures. The use of computers requires a knowledge of
spreadsheets, database management techniques, and computerized accounting systems.
The Accounting program at Heald combines accounting skills with state-of-the-art computer knowledge. Graduates of this program work in a variety of careers from bookkeepers to junior accountants. Employees in this field are well paid and can enjoy job security
because of the important roles they play.

Shorthand systems have existed since the days of ancient Greece and Rome. Many systems
of shorthand have been developed for use in recording court testimony and other public
events. The introduction of machine shorthand brought major improvements in the speed,
accuracy, and ease of writing. Computers have made it possible to produce written text
without entering the words through the computer keyboard. Real-time reporting is the
instant display on computer screens of the ongoing speech in a court of law. Captioning
involves the same type of machine shorthand skills, but the resulting text is displayed on a
television screen. Medical-steno transcription makes possible the production of written
medical documents at the speed of speech, rather than at the speed of keyboarding.
The Heald Court Reporting program introduces you to the latest state-of-the-art
equipment and instructional techniques. You will learn real-time writing, medical-steno
transcription, and courtroom techniques.

below 85 percent, continued enrollment
is not permitted without the Director's
approval.
Students are provided an opportunity
to make up course work missed due to
absence. Make-up tests are given after
school. Missed tests and work which is
turned in late will be considered when
computing a student's final course grade.
Course Work and Units
Heald awards quarter units of credit.
There are three categories of classes:
= One unit for each
12 class hours
Lecture/Lab = One unit for each
20 class hours
Lab
= One unit for each
30 class hours
Lecture
Students must be enrolled for at least 12
units each quarter to be considered full
time. Students enrolled for 9 units are
three-quarter time; students enrolled for
6 units are considered half time.
Grading Policies
In skill subjects, achievement is measured
by speed and accuracy. Words per
minute and/or keystrokes per minute
are recorded. Class grades for keyboarding courses are expressed in "CR" or
"NC" (credit or no credit) with words
per minute noted.
In nons kill subjects, achievement is
measured by standardized tests and class
assignments such as practice sets, text-
book-workbook problems, and special
projects. Class completion is based on
at least the 70 percent level.

If a grade of "F" is received, the class
must be repeated. If a grade of "D" is

period (4 weeks).
If a student attends for the entire quarter but has not completed the assignments by the end of the quarter, a grade
of "I" is awarded, and the Instructor
arranges a date for completion of the
work. If a student does not remove the
"I" by the established date, the "I" is
changed to an "F."
If a student withdraws from the class
before the end of the fourth week, a
grade of "W" is recorded. A grade of
"W" does not earn units or grade
points; however, it is included in the
units for measuring "quantitative
progress."
If a student withdraws from class after
the fourth week, a grade of "F" is
recorded.
58
received, the class must be repeated if it
is a prerequisite for an advanced class.
A "D" grade may be repeated to improve
the GPA (Grade Point Average) at the
student's option.
A class may be repeated only once.
Grade Point Average
The cumulative GPA (Grade Point
Average) indicates the overall achievement of the student for all subjects
completed. It is computed by dividing
the sum of the grade points earned by
the sum of graded units taken. For
courses that have been repeated, the better grade is used in computing
the GPA.
Satisfactory Progress
Satisfactory progress is comprised of
three parts: (1) academic- qualitative
progress, (2) academic - quantitative
progress, and (3) attendance.
Qualitative Progress
For continued enrollment, all students
must maintain a GPA of at least 2.0.
If the cumulative GPA falls below 2.0,
the student is placed on probation and
allowed two probationary quarters to
achieve a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or
more. Students who do not achieve a
2.0 cumulative GPA at the end of three
quarters are withdrawn from school.
P
o I
Quantitative Progress
For satisfactory progress, students must
earn credit in at least 50 percent of the
total units attempted during any threequarter period. Students who do not
earn 50 percent of the units attempted
are withdrawn from school.
