The CCSF English Major is designed to serve a number of functions. An English major will allow students interested in pursuing an English degree at a 4-year institution t complete all general education transfer requirements, as well as lower division courses required by university English departments, within 4 semesters at CCSF. Establishing the English major at CCSF will also ensure that English literature electives are offered in a regular, systematic fashion, allowing students to plan their coursework and schedules for a two-year period, assisted by a departmental English major advisor. Finally, an English major will have a positive effect on the way English courses are taught and taken at CCSF, establishing a coherent framework whereby both faculty and students can establish meaningful connections between different English department course offerings.

Students majoring in Biological Sciences will develop an understanding of major biological concepts and awareness of how these are connected within various areas of the biological and physical sciences. Furthermore, students completing the CCSF Biological Sciences major will be prepared for upper division biology courses and for transfer to a baccalaureate major in Biology at a four-year college through their completion of courses that are both transferable and fulfill the lower division course requirements. In addition, students will acquire the problem solving, analytical, scientific inquiry and communication skills that will provide the foundation for lifelong learning and career development, as well as an appreciation of science as an integral part of society and everyday life.

The A.S. degree with a major in Computer Networking and Information Technology (CNIT) at City College of San Francisco will prepare graduating students to obtain employment in the fields of Computer Networking and Information Technology as administrators, managers, designers, consultants, and technicians. The solid foundation built upon completion of the core courses and electives toward a specialty will assist students to obtain entry-level employment or to advance in their field. Furthermore, students may qualify to continue their education at a four- year institution, after completing additional courses, depending on the school. It is expected that students who complete the Major in CNIT will have a broad, thorough, and solid background in theory and practice, be immediately employable. and be an employee of value, ready for more advanced training.

The Motorcycle Maintenance Technician Program (MOTO) at City College of San
Francisco expects to prepare motorcycle maintenance technicians for
employment in the motorcycle industry by developing entry-level skills as well as
providing a sound foundation of theory to facilitate further training at the dealer,
small repair facility, or factory. It will satisfy today's unmet demands for qualified
technicians as well as anticipated future shortfalls in the rapidly growing
motorcycle industry. It is expected that students who have earned a certificate in
MOTO will be immediately employable locally and statewide, be valuable to the
employer with minimum dealer training, and be well prepared for more advanced
training.

Students who satisfactorily complete the curricula in general business, a two year program, are qualified to transfer to upper division institutions with many requirements met, depending upon the institution.

In addition, students who may not wish to go beyond the two year degree are qualified to consider careers as potential owners, managers, supervisors in smaller and larger business; and with experience can be reasonably considered for promotion to more senior levels of decision making, and risk and asset management in organizations and government. Such career progression can benefit from understanding of the conceptual foundations of enterprise and "business", in addition to the vocational, hands-on information available.

The course of study includes instruction in the development of the American enterprise system and principles, problems and practices of an individual enterprise environment.

The goal of the French major is to prepare students for a baccalaureate major in French, French literature or French studies with special reference to those majors at California State University and University of California campuses' requirements for lower division preparation. Courses required are specifically selected to be transferable and fulfill the lower division requirements of these majors, especially as defined in the CSU' s Lower Division Transfer Pattern.

CCSF's English major offers a wide variety of language, literature, and writing courses to serve students with diverse goals, including transfer to UC, CSU, or other four year . colleges. CCSF English majors will be able to complete all of their lower division preparation at CCSF before they transfer but should see a counselor to confirm their program of study. Through the core 12 units of the English major, students learn techniques to produce clear, precise prose through integration of writing, reading, and research. Students are also required to complete 6 units of a core survey course, ensuring a broad familiarity with literatures in English. Finally, students will complete a minimum of 9 units in a specialized literature course, allowing the major to reflect students' individual interests. CCSF's English major helps students to develop and sharpen reasoning abilities and learn to communicate well in whatever their chosen profession. If students anticipate careers in law, education, communication, writing, government, advertising, or business, the English major will serve them well.

CCSF's Biological Sciences major offers basic courses in chemistry and biology to serve students with diverse goals, including transfer to biology programs at U.C., C.S.U. or other four-year institutions. Biological Sciences majors will be able to take most or all of their lower division courses at CCSF before they transfer, but should see a counselor to confirm their program of study. Additional courses might be required to transfer to particular institutions. The Biological Sciences major is suitable for students planning to transfer into programs in the biological sciences, including general biology, cell or molecular biology, organism biology, marine biology, botany, zoology, ecology, evolution, genetics, anatomy, physiology, microbiology, and agricultural sciences. The major is also designed for students planning to transfer into a pre-medical, pre-veterinary, pre-dental, pharmacy, or chiropractic degree program.

Through the core forty-four units of the Biological Sciences major, students will gain the scientific knowledge necessary to investigate problems and ideas presented in upper division biology courses, as well as to critically evaluate scientific information. The laboratory work will train students to use current laboratory technologies, equipment and techniques to engage in the research process using scientific methods and to investigate research questions safely.

Students graduating with an Associate of Science degree at City College of San Francisco with a Major in Computer Networking and Information Technology (CNIT) may seek employment in entry-level network administration or computer technical support positions. After completion of the required General Education areas (Appendix A) and 21 units of CNIT courses with a grade of C or better, a student could qualify for an A.S. degree with a Major in Computer Networking and Information Technology. The Major consists of completion of the Core Courses and 9 units of electives from one of the option areas listed below.

This Motorcycle Maintenance Technician Certificate and Associate in Science (AS) Degree prepares students to enter the motorcycle maintenance field with all the necessary skills to perform entry-level work. Participants will acquire a thorough understanding of theory and practice and be qualified to participate in advanced training at all repair facilities. Degree holders are expected to be first in line for jobs as service managers and manufacturer's representatives.

This field of concentration allows students to earn the Associate Degree while partially preparing them for transfer into the Business Administration major at a four year college or university. In addition, it prepares the student for an entry level position in any business office. Students who complete the curriculum with final grades of C (2.00 grade-point average) or higher in the major, receive the Associate in Science degree in General Business.

Program Information. The French program provides instruction in developing a student's ability to communicate in French, both written and oral, through the intermediate level and to gain a knowledge of francophone cultures throughout the world. The program is designed to meet transfer goals as well as personal development and career growth. Students must complete each course representing their major preparation with a final grade of C or higher.

Degree Curriculum. The Degree Curriculum in French is a two-year course of study designed to build a strong language foundation as well as expose students to francophone cultural content and some literature. Students who complete the curriculum are better prepared to transfer to the CSU and UC systems as well as other universities with the intent of majoring or minoring in French.

French is one of only two languages spoken on five continents: it is used in Europe, North and South America, Oceania, Asia and Europe. Perhaps 200 million people speak French. Among foreign language majors and minors in the United States, French is the second largest language major after Spanish. French is the dominant language with English in the European Union, the world' s largest economic block.

All CSU and UC campuses in the Bay Area, and most in the State, have French majors available to their students. We plan to clearly mark the pathway at City College of San Francisco for those who wish to prepare a French major.

French is the third largest foreign language at City College after Spanish and Chinese. City College offers a wide range of lower division coursework in French, both daytime and evening, and more advanced intermediate French courses than any other community college in California. Thus for students who wish to major or minor in French at a community college, City College is a beacon.

City College has close ties with San Francisco State University, as well as San Jose State and Cal State East Bay, where French is concerned. Our lower division program dovetails well with their baccalaureate majors, and our students succeed upon transfer in these schools. Additionally, City College and San Francisco State work together for study abroad in French, with CCSF offering semester programs and SFSU offering a summer session program.

French is one of the top languages in terms of community support also: if we go back to the mid-nineteenth century, 25% of the city's population was French, and many French institutions still exist, e.g., the Alliance Francaise, the French International School, Notre Dame des Victoires.

In the United States, French is the third most commonly used language after English and Spanish. French is used in New England, in Louisiana, in parts of Florida, etc.

As a result of the demands of both the local and national motorcycle industry and the success of the nation's major proprietary motorcycle maintenance technician schools, the Automotive Department at CCSF has developed a Motorcycle Maintenance Technician Program (MOTO) . With a core of 34 units, it is offered as a Certificate and an Associate in Science Degree. Demand for qualified technicians is such that many students are placed in jobs in the industry before graduation.

There are currently no existing programs at City College San Francisco that the English Major will compete with, overlap or replace. Rather, the English Major will provide additional resources and opportunities for a substantial existing student population - UC and CSU bound students who are planning to major in English.

There are currently no existing programs at City College of San Francisco that the
Biological Sciences Major will compete with, overlap or replace. Instead, the major
will fulfill an already identified need within the college by providing a framework for
students wishing to transfer to four-year colleges. Furthermore, it will offer students
the opportunity to achieve an Associates degree, currently not an option for CCSF
students who meet such degree requirements as offered from other colleges with
similar programs (e.g. Santa Rosa Junior College, De Anza College, Foothill
College).

The A.S. degree in CNIT will become an option for students enrolled in CNIT classes. Many industry-standard certificates are also available for students not pursuing a two-year degree.

Of the courses required from Group 1 (Core Reading and Composition Courses), the CCSF English Department currently offers between 40 and 45 sections of 1A each semester, 20 and 30 sections of 1B, and 8 to 10 sections of English 40. These classes are typically filled to maximum capacity at the time of the first census.

With the major in place, the English Department would initially offer a total of five literature electives each semester, two from Group 2 (Core Surveys) and 3 from Group 3 (Specialized Literature Courses), exclusive of Creative Writing Classes. Currently, CCSF offers between four and five of these classes each semester, which rarely have less than 25 students enrolled at the time of the first census.

• Thus, the number of English literature electives to be offered annually will be between 10 and 12, excluding the numerous l A, IB and 40 courses offered each semester.
• We estimate the headcount student annual enrollment in our literature electives to be 250.
• Since the program is designed to be a two-year major, we estimate that there will be no program completers at the end of the first year, unless we decide to award retroactive credit for courses taken prior to the establishment of the major.
• However, by the end of the second year we estimate that 30 students will complete requirements for the English Major annually, with increases in program completion in successive years as the Major becomes more widely known among UC bound transfer students throughout the Bay Area.

Of the courses required for the Biological Sciences Major, the CCSF Biology
Department currently offers: three lecture with seven laboratory sections of BIO
101A, and three lecture with six laboratory sections for BIO 101B. The Chemistry
Department offers four lecture with fourteen laboratory sections of CHEM 101A, four
lecture with 6 laboratory sections of CHEM 101B, two lecture with four laboratory
sections of CHEM 208A, and two lecture with two laboratory sections of CHEM 208B.
The Mathematics Department offers twenty-one lectures of MATH 110A and fourteen
lectures of MATH 110B. The Physics Department offers five lectures of PHYC 2A,
ten laboratory sections of PHYC 2AL, three lectures of PHYC 2B, and five
laboratory sections of PHYC 2BL. These classes are typically filled to maximum
capacity at the time of the first census.

• There are approximately 4,000 students currently taking biology courses. Of
  these, it is estimated that 50 will transfer to a four-year college.
• Since the program is designed to be a 2-year major, we estimate that there will be
  no program completers at the end of the first year, unless we decide to award
  retroactive credit for courses taken prior to the establishment of the major.
• By the end of the third year, we expect program completers to reflect current
  enrollment and numbers of transfer students. As the Biological Sciences major
  becomes more widely known among CSU and UC bound students, we expect
  increases in program completion.

All the core courses are offered every semester, with multiple sections each, sufficient to meet demand. For example, enrollments for the core courses in Spring 2007 are as follows:

• CNIT 103, two sections, average enrollment, 23
• CNIT 106, four sections, average enrollment, 30
• CNIT 201, two sections, average enrollment, 24
• CNIT 131, four sections, aver age enrollment, 32
• CNIT 120, two sections, average enrollment, 17

Almost all of the electives are currently offered, and all will be offered every year. For example, for Spring 2007 semester, enrollments in the elective classes are as follows:

for the Tech Support option,

• CNIT 104 has one section with enrollment 22,
• CNIT 105 has one section with enrollment 18,
• CNIT 150 will be offered for the first time in Fall 2007;

for Web Site Development Techniques,

• CNIT 132 has three sections with average enrollment 37,
• CNIT 133 has one section with enrollment 44,
• CNIT 134 has one section with enrollment 26;

for Network Security,

• CNIT 121 has one section with enrollment 15,
• CNIT 122 has one section with enrollment 20,
• CNIT 123 has two sections, average enrollment 34;

for Wireless,

• CNIT 107 has one section with enrollment 30,
• CNIT 108 has one section with enrollment 15,
• CNIT 212 has one section with enrollment 11;

for Cisco,

• CNIT 202 has three sections, average enrollment, 18
• CNIT 203 has two sections, average enrollment 21,
• CNIT 204 has three sections, average enrollment 15;

and for Windows,

• CNIT 235 (to be renumbered 335), has one section with enrollment 17,
• CNIT 340 has two sections, average enrollment 16,
• CNIT 341 will be offered for the first time in Fall 2007.

As most of the courses are available day, night and online, the possibility of completions is increased. We currently have a non-duplicated total enrollment in the core courses of over 350 students. In our certificate programs, we have about 50 completions per semester. There are approximately 5 students who have already completed preliminary requirements for the degree, and a projection of at least 10 more per year upon approval of the AS degree. Furthermore, once the program is approved and in place, better publicity will encourage its growth.

While College of San Mateo, Marin, and Laney offer some French courses, their programs are much smaller and less developed than City College's; and seldom do their courses reach beyond third semester. Our CCSF program has four and fifth semesters as well as a conversation series, a capstone course, a culture course, etc. Our Foreign Language Chair, as head of the IMPAC effort in languages and Executive Director of the California Community College Foreign Language Council, is in close contact with other colleges statewide. No other CCC has as extensive and fully developed French curriculum as CCSF.

This program shares curriculum with Sacramento City College by a joint arrangement through ATTI.

Several colleges and universities within commuting distance currently have a Biology Major Program in place. Historically, a majority of CCSF students who enroll in biology courses for majors plan to transfer to UC Berkeley, UC Davis, San Francisco State University, San Jose State University, California State University East Bay and UC Los Angeles. Each of these institutions offers a Biology/Biological Sciences Major. Our program is designed to complement these programs whereby students would complete courses at CCSF that would fulfill the lower division requirements for a Biology/Biological Sciences Major at any of these 4-year universities.

There will not be destructive competition nor redundancy between the proposed Biology Major at CCSF and any of the existing programs at the various universities listed above. Rather, the program at CCSF would augment these programs. Often, students prefer to complete lower division requirements at a community college for a variety of reasons which include cost efficiency, accessibility, and a community learning experience. Implementing a Biology Major at CCSF would allow students this opportunity with the assurance that their coursework will transfer seamlessly to the universities at which CCSF students most often complete their undergraduate education.
