In the spring of 1983, the General Faculty of the University, the Board of Regents, and the Kansas Legislature recognized the importance of these growing applied programs to the mission of an urban university like Washburn and established the School of Applied and Continuing Education. In the spring of 1992, this academic unit was renamed the School of Applied Studies. That same year the departments of Criminal Justice and Social Work were transferred to the School to join the existing departments of Allied Health, Human Services, and Office, Legal and Technology. These five departments offer degrees and certificates in over 20 occupational programs. MISSION The School of Applied Studies has the primary function of offering quality career oriented programs in areas which respond to community and state needs. The mission for the School of Applied Studies will be accomplished when all graduates are: 1.Lifelong Learners who are committed to continuing education and scholarship. 2. Competent Individuals who possess the necessary skills for entry-level employment. 3. Complex Thinkers who have the ability to problem solve, analyze, synthesize, and evaluate. 4. Informed Individuals who are sensitive to cultural diversity. 5. Effective Commu- nicators who have the necessary verbal and written skills to work in our global society. 6. Responsible Individuals who demonstrate commitment to professional values and ethics. 7. Technologically Literate Individuals with applications skills relevant to their profession. GENERAL DEGREE REQUIREMENTS The School of Applied Studies offers the following degrees: Associate of Arts (AA); Associate of Applied Science (AAS); Associate of Science (AS); Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS); Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice (BSCJ); Bachelor of Social Work (BSW); Master in Science in Criminal Justice; and Master of Social Work (MSW). The School also offers Certificates of Completion in credit areas. In addition to University degree requirements common to all associate degree programs (see Degrees, Common Requirements), the student must complete all major and correlate courses specific to each program (see specific program requirements). For baccalaureate degrees, students must meet the University degree requirements common to all baccalaureate programs (see Degrees, Common Requirements) and complete all major and correlate courses specific to each program (see specific program requirements). CERTIFICATES OF COMPLETION All students seeking a certificate in the School must request a certificate audit from the Dean s Office (Benton Hall, Room 306) at the beginning of the semester in which they expect to finish requirements for the certificate. Normally, Certificate of Completion candidates will complete all required hours at Washburn unless non-residency credit is approved by the Dean. Students seeking a Certificate of Completion will normally take all courses on a letter grade basis. Upon consent the faculty advisor, up to three semester credits may be taken pass/fail. ACCREDITATION AND APPROVAL Programs within the School of Applied Studies are approved or accredited by the following agencies: American Physical Therapy Association - Physical Therapist Assistant Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Educational Programs - Health Information Technology - Respiratory Therapy Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology -Radiation Therapy - Radiologic Technology Council on Social Work Education Kansas Board of Education Kansas Board of Nursing - Mental Health ACADEMIC ADVISEMENT Students who have selected a major in the School of Applied Studies should be advised by a faculty member teaching in that area, the Department Chair, or the Dean's designate. The student should meet with their advisor at least once each semester to ensure all program require- ments are met. Students who do not have an assigned advisor should contact the Dean's office. ACADEMIC STANDARDS Students with a declared major in the School must maintain a cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) of 2.0 in order to graduate or receive a certificate of completion. To count toward a major, minor, or correlate, work must be of C grade or better. Students who fail to maintain the University minimum academic standards may be placed on probation or dismissed according to the University procedures. All students are also expected to follow the established standards of academic honesty and integrity. Failure to meet these standards may also result in dismissal. Certain programs uphold additional academic standards for continuance in the program. Students are advised to contact their faculty advisors, Department Chair, or the Dean s office for details. JOINT PROGRAMS WITH KAW AREA TECHNICAL SCHOOL (KATS) Washburn University offers a number of joint programs with the Kaw Area Technical School which lead to an associate degree. Specific requirements for each area of concentration are listed by program (see specific program requirements). Requirements for credit transfer for joint programs with Kaw Area Technical School (KATS): 1. Students must successfully complete all program requirements at KATS. 2. Students must begin coursework at Washburn within six years of completing the KATS program. 3. Students must complete a petition for acceptance of KATS credits through the Washburn Admissions office. 4. KATS credits are posted on the Washburn transcript as a block of credits in the area of concentration. 5. The grade point average of KATS joint program students will be determined only on classes taken from Washburn. Consult with an advisor from your program area at Washburn when developing your degree plan. KATS students taking WU courses should register for courses at WU through the Dean's Office in the S.A.S.
