The Board of Governors A.A.S. program requires 60 credit hours which include a general education core of 21 hours and 39 hours of general electives encompassing a broad range of content areas while providing for optimum flexibility. The required general education courses assure the development of essential skills and competencies necessary for an associate degree level graduate. Students are encouraged to explore various options for obtaining credit for prior learning experiences including course articulation, standardized exams, challenge exams, credential validation and portfolio credit. Students who choose to earn credit for college-level learning acquired through professional work experience or other life experiences must complete the portfolio development course and submit a portfolio. The portfolio provides the opportunity for equating documented, college-level, experiential learning to college credit. College courses successfully completed at regionally accredited institutions may be transferred into the program and applied toward the credit hour requirements. A minimum of 12 credit hours are required in residency at Southern in order to be eligible for the Board of Governors A.A.S.

Early Childhood Development

The Early Childhood Development Program is designed for those who work with children from infancy through early childhood

Purpose
The Early Childhood Development Program is designed for those who work with children from infancy through early childhood. The degree gives students classroom and practical understanding of the intellectual, physical, social, and emotional principles critical to working with children from infancy through early childhood.

Preschool teachers typically work for privately owned childcare centers, publicly funded daycare centers or religious organizations. As a preschool teacher, you might also be self-employed and run your own center. You’ll be responsible for engaging young children in fun activities that build basic social skills while encouraging intellectual and emotional growth. These activities may include group play, singing, arts and crafts, sharing, nature lessons, word games, number recognition, dancing and storytelling. It’s possible to work either full- or part-time hours, and unlike kindergarten through secondary school teachers, you’ll most likely work throughout the entire calendar year.

(The Early Childhood Development Program can also serve as a pathway to earning an elementary teaching license if candidate transfers to a four-year institution and completes the state requirements for licensure. Students should consult the catalog of the institution to which they will transfer to determine the appropriate science courses to select.)

Campus Location: Most, but not all, courses in the Early Childhood Development Program are web-based.

Medical Laboratory Technology

The Medical Laboratory Technology Program was developed to fulfill southern West Virginia’s need for qualified Medical Laboratory Technicians (MLT). There is a growing demand for Medical Laboratory Technicians in West Virginia as well as the country. These professional and competent laboratory personnel who are certified to examine and analyze laboratory specimens are essential to the delivery of quality health care. Although graduates generally work in hospitals, clinics, or doctor’s offices, opportunities also exist in commercial or pharmaceutical industries, scientific research, and infection control in both the public and private sectors. Southern’s program aims at helping students attain the basic knowledge and skills necessary to begin their career in the field of Medical Laboratory Technology.

July 1, 2020, the U.S. Department of Education implemented regulations (Regulation 34 CFR 668.43 (a) (5) (v)) which require Southern WV Community and Technical College’s Associate Programs to provide a list of all states/jurisdictions where the institution’s curriculum meets state educational requirements for professional licensure or certification.

“There are currently 11 states with laboratory personnel licensure (California, Hawaii, Florida, New York, North Dakota, Tennessee, Louisiana, Nevada, West Virginia, Montana, Georgia). Puerto Rico also has licensure. The components of the law vary state-to-state, but usually includes an annual licensing fee (some are bi-annual), a provision for continuing education, a minimum education and professional competency requirements.

“If a … or Medical Laboratory Technician (MLT) plans to locate in a state with licensure, that state should be contacted for specific information relative to that state’s laboratory practice act. This contact should be made as early as possible after the location decision has been made. Most states (except California) require documentation of certification from an acceptable certification agency. Other things to expect are fingerprinting (Louisiana, possibly other states), documentation of certification, and documentation of education, training, and competency. Some states require documentation of a defined number of contact hours prior to issuing a license. California does not recognize any certification or any other state license. Check with other states regarding reciprocity; most give reciprocity for another state license as stringent or more stringent than that state.

“Check with the state regarding trainee licenses or other requirements for new graduates without a valid license in that state.”

Nursing

The Nursing Program is designed to prepare graduates to practice as a registered nurse once licensure requirements are met. The Associate Degree Nursing Program prepares students for professional nursing practice while providing a knowledge base for career mobility and further academic study. The program is committed to providing accessible, high-quality nursing education to meet diverse and changing healthcare needs of individuals of all ages in a variety of healthcare settings.

Job Outlook

US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), September 2020 states employment of registered nurses is projected to grow 7 percent from 2019 to 2029, faster than the average for all occupations. Growth will occur for a number of reasons, including an increased emphasis on preventive care; increasing rates of chronic conditions, such as diabetes and obesity; and demand for healthcare services from the baby-boom population, as this group leads longer and more active lives.

Please refer to the BLS website for further information on a career in nursing. https://www.bls.gov/ooh/healthcare/registered-nurses.htm
