ITEM 130-301-R0306  -  Authorization to Change the names of approved Certificates to Certificates of Applied Science; Flathead Valley Community College

 

THAT:   The Board of Regents of Higher Education authorizes Flathead Valley Community College to change the name of the following programs from Certificates to Certificates of Applied Science:

  • Accounting Technology
  • Building Trades
  • Business Administration
  • Goldsmithing Bench
  • Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration
  • Information Technology
  • Medical Coding
  • Medical Transcription
  • Office Technology Clerical

 

EXPLANATION:  Because the Montana Board of Regents' Policy 301.12, Undergraduate Degree Requirements: Associate Degrees and Certificates of Applied Science, adopted in May 2005, creates a Certificate of Applied Science as a new degree in the Montana University System, Flathead Valley Community College seeks approval to change the name of approved Certificates to Certificates of Applied Science. All the Certificates of Applied Science listed above will remain the same. The name of the program and the number of credits in the program will remain the same. The only change that is requested is the name of the degree, which will become a Certificate of Applied Science.
