Students whose native language is not English may enroll in the English as a Second Language Program which features courses in speaking, listening, reading and writing English. Native speakers of English have a full array of composition, reading, English and speech courses from which to choose to improve their language skills. The Moorpark College Associate Health Science Department continues with its commitment to excellence and successful graduate outcomes. The test results are sent to the Colleges and Universities quarterly. The Radiologic Technology state and national testing is currently administrated using paper and pencil, but that will change to the computerized format in the future.
Accreditation is another measure of excellence.
The Health Science Department recently concluded a progress review for the National Accreditation of the Radiologic Technology Program. The initial accreditation was awarded in 1993 with an initial 3-year accreditation. Based on the merit of the progress review, the Radiologic Technology Program was awarded a 2-year extension. A 5-year initial accreditation award in a Health Science program is based on excellence and demonstrates exceptional quality in our programs. Now the nursing program is busily preparing for the NLN Accreditation Site visit scheduled for the Spring, 1996.
