Central Virginia Community College • 2012-2014
T
he academic program for degree curricula has three
instructional cores: the general core, specifying
credits for each course area identified; the specialized
and degree related core, specifying total core credits
required; and college electives also specifying total credits
required. Each community college develops its own
certificate and diploma curricula as planned programs
developed with the assistance of a local curriculum
advisory committee for specific occupations.
Academic Divisions
The academic organizational structure of the College is
divided into three academic divisions. They are: (1) Business
and Allied Health; (2) Humanities and Social Sciences;
(3) Science, Mathematics and Engineering Technologies.

Developmental Courses
Preparatory or refresher courses are offered to help prepare
individuals for academic work in the various program
plans of the College. These are designed to develop and
review the knowledge and basic skills necessary to succeed
in academic programs of the College.
Students who need developmental courses in
mathematics, reading, or English need to consult with their
academic advisor or counselor in planning and selecting
courses. Students required to take developmental courses
must satisfactorily complete the course prior to enrolling in
a credit mathematics or English course. These courses are
numbered 01-09 in the catalog and the course schedule.
State and Regional Specialized
Programs
In the Virginia Community College System, certain highlyspecialized program plans, though designed to serve
all Virginia residents, are limited in offering to selected
locations. These program plans generally reflect geographic,
demographic or economic considerations which preclude
extensive offering Statewide, and therefore usually are
approved for not more than three community colleges
to meet State or regional requirements. As changing
circumstances warrant and additional State and regional
needs are determined, specialized program plans may
be located in other community college regions. A system
program guide is available on the VCCS website:
http://www.vccs.edu/.
Transfer Information
To help facilitate the transfer process, each state supported
college and most private colleges in Virginia produce a
Virginia Community College System Transfer Guide. These
transfer guides can be obtained directly from the college
of interest, may be referenced in the CVCC Counseling
Department, found on CVCC’s website by clicking on
“Academics” and then “Transfer Information”, or by using
the Virginia Education Wizard at www.vawizard.org.
CVCC offers many services and programs to assist transfer
students. Students are urged to seek the assistance of their
academic advisor or counselor to select transferable courses
and to gain additional information to plan a successful
transfer experience.

Administration
of Justice
Purpose: The Administration of Justice curriculum is
designed to provide a broad educational foundation which
will prepare graduates for employment in numerous
criminal justice related occupations. For students already
working in the criminal justice field, this curriculum will
provide preparation for advancement in the profession.
Note: The Associate of Applied Science degree does not
take the place of attendance at a basic academy which most
police, corrections, or security agencies require prior to being
employed by that agency. However, the Administration of
Justice curriculum will help prepare one academically for
successful completion of an agency academy.
Occupational Objectives: Careers in the Administration of
Justice field cover a wide variety of activities. Most common
are the uniformed officers who form our local, county
and state police agencies. However, many people are also
employed in an enforcement capacity by such government
agencies as the FBI, Secret Service, Border Patrol, Treasury
Department, and National Forest and Park Services (some
of these agencies require a four-year degree). One may also find
employment in related criminal justice occupations including
corrections, retail and industrial security, probation/parole,
insurance work and private investigation.
requirements established by the College, entry into this
program requires proficiency in high school English and
mathematics. Students with deficiencies will require
developmental studies. Before entering the Administration
of Justice program, students should know that most
criminal justice agencies require that one is a United States

Business
Administration
Award: Associate of Arts and Sciences
Purpose: With the rapid development of business and
industry in Virginia, there is a great demand for qualified
personnel in business administration to help provide
leadership for economic growth. The Associate degree
curriculum majoring in Business Administration is
designed for persons who plan to transfer to a four-year
college or university to complete a baccalaureate degree
program in business.
Business Administration major requires the satisfactory
completion of the following high school units or equivalent
as a minimum: 4 years of English; 3 years of mathematics
(Algebra I, Algebra II, and Geometry); 1 year of laboratory
science; and 1 year of social studies. Students who do not
meet these requirements may be permitted to correct their
deficiencies in developmental studies. Students are strongly
urged to check the mathematics requirements of the fouryear college or university to which they plan to transfer to
determine the proper mathematics courses to be taken at
the community college.
Program Requirements: The modern business world
demands that its staff be knowledgeable in fields over
and beyond the everyday business technology. Thus,
this curriculum requires courses in the humanities,
natural sciences, and social sciences, in addition to the
principles of economics and principles of accounting
usually required in the first two years of a baccalaureate
business administration curriculum. Students are urged
to acquaint themselves with the requirements of the major
department in the college or university to which transfer
is contemplated and also to consult with the Counseling
Center in planning this program and selecting electives.
In order to help prepare for upper division (junior class)
standing at a four-year college or university, the student
usually must complete a program at the community college
which is comparable in length and courses to the first two
years of the program at the four-year college or university.
Upon completion of the four-semester curriculum, the
graduate will be awarded the Associate of Arts and Sciences
degree with a major in Business Administration.

Purpose: With the emphasis on scientific discoveries and
technological developments in today’s society, there is a
demand for scientists and scientifically-oriented persons in
business, government, industry and the professions. This
degree program in Science is designed for persons who are
interested in a scientific program, and who plan to transfer
to a four-year college or university to earn a baccalaureate
degree in such diverse areas as agriculture, pre-dentistry,
pre-medicine, biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics,
pharmacy, physical therapy, geology, forestry, horticulture,
science education or home economics.
Science program requires satisfactory completion of the
following high school units or equivalent as a minimum: 4
years of English, 3 years of mathematics (Algebra I, Algebra
II, and Geometry), 1 year of laboratory science and 1 year
of social science. Students with deficiencies will require
developmental studies.
Program Notes: Although the major emphasis in this
curriculum is on mathematics, the biological sciences, and
the physical sciences, the curriculum also includes courses
in humanities and social sciences. Electives are provided so
that the student can select the appropriate courses for preprofessional or scientific programs as required in the first
two years of the four-year college or university. Students
are urged to acquaint themselves with the requirements
of the major department in the college or university to
which transfer is contemplated and also to consult with the
Counseling Center in planning their program and selecting
electives. In order to prepare for junior class standing at a
four-year college or university, the student usually must
complete a program at the community college which is
comparable in length and course content to the first two
years of the program at the four-year institution. Upon
degree with a major in Science.
