 Work Experience |
OCCUPATIONAL COOPERATIVE WORK EXPERIENCE
Work experience education credit can be earned in each of the occupational
disciplines. (See appropriate program area under course number 198 for specific
information.)
COOPERATIVE WORK EXPERIENCE
The concept of issuing college credit for work experience is based on the
premise that a student with well defined job-oriented objectives will find
his/her work an educational experience. To be effective it must be approached
cooperatively and with enthusiasm by the student, the employer, and the
college coordinator. The student will gain college credit, a new appreciation
of the responsibilities he/she has to his/her employer, greater awareness
and improved job skills.
There are two classifications of Cooperative Work Experience Education at
San Bernardino Valley College.
- In Occupational Cooperative Work Experience students may earn four
units per semester for a maximum of sixteen units. They must be enrolled
in at least one occupational course related to the work.
- In General Cooperative Work Experience students may earn three units
per semester with a maximum of six allowable during their college career;
and they need not be enrolled in a related course. Seventy-five hours
of paid work experience (or 60 hours volunteer work) equal one unit
of college credit. A student must enroll in at least seven semester
units of course work including Cooperative Work Experience Credit. A
student may not earn more than 16 semester units of Cooperative Work
Experience Credit including both General and Occupational.
Units earned through Work Experience do not apply toward units in a major
unless such courses are specifically required for a degree in that department.
However, course credit earned through work experience can apply as elective
units in any associate degree. Refer to the specific department section
of this catalog for a list of specific courses required for a major.
