Forest Resources
(Transfer curriculum)
Opportunities to study Forest Management, Forest Engineering,
Forest Recreation, Natural Resources or Forest Products exist at
many universities throughout the United States and Canada. Specific
43
requirements for transfer will vary from institution to institution,
but in general, most programs require a year of Biology, a year of
Chemistry and Mathematics through Calculus. In addition, most
programs offer a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree, so taking only
those courses that transfer is usually more cost and time efficient
than pursing an Associate of Arts degree.

Instructional Assistant
(Limited Entry, Certificate Program)
The Instructional Assistant Program is designed to meet the pro-
fessional development needs of instructional assistants. 71
The program consists of 44-45 credits. Students who complete
the program will earn an Instructional Assistant Certificate. Most
credits will apply towards an Associate of Arts Degree and are
transferable if a student wishes to earn a Bachelor’s of Arts De-
gree and a teaching license. A program coordinator will be avail-
able to assist students as they move through their programs of
study.
Each course within this curriculum is designed to further the pro-
fessional development of instructional assistants. Education classes
are scheduled in the late afternoon or early evening to meet the
needs of students who are currently employed by school districts.
General education courses are scheduled across all time slots.

Medical Office Coding
(Recognition of Completion)
Coding is one of the nation’s fastest growing industries. Medical
coders are responsible for accurately assigning diagnostic and pro-
cedural codes of information found in medical records. Coding is
97
done to meet government standards that insurance companies
and third-party payers must meet in order to receive maximum
reimbursement for medical services.
Coders work in hospitals, clinics, government agencies, insurance
companies, and medical offices. The job requires organizational
skills, computer and ten-key competency, and attention to detail,
as well as the ability to prioritize multiple projects, to sit for long
periods of time, and to communicate with a diverse population.
