University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma (Chickasha, OK) - business

 


business 

USAO’s Bachelor of Science degree in business combines the practical procedure of the discipline with the people-oriented aspect of the liberal 
arts. 

Business students find an emphasis on effective evaluation of factual information, working efficiently with others, the promotion of moral and ethical values within the business community as well as sound and creative decision making. 
Business majors have a 33-hour business core designed to ensure student success in the business field. In addition, students have the flexibility of tailoring their program through an additional 15 hours in business elective courses to earn an emphasis in accounting, business administration or management. 
Emphasis in accounting provides students with a knowledge of the theory and practice of accounting and the skills necessary to stay abreast of continuing developments in their field.

Additionally, students are encouraged to recognize the importance of professional ethics, personal responsibility and the continuing development of leadership skills.

University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma (Chickasha, OK) - speech-language pathology

 

Speech Language Pathology

USAO offers a bachelor of science degree with a major in speech-language pathology. The undergraduate program is designed for persons wishing to pursue graduate study in speech-language pathology and audiology, 
but also offers an avenue for students interested in pursuing graduate degrees in other health professions, law, psychology, special education or gerontology.

A master’s degree is necessary for professional certification as a speech-language pathologist. There are five graduate programs in speech-language pathology in Oklahoma. 

The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) is the national scientific, professional, and credentialing association for speech-language pathologists.

Attainment of the bachelor of science degree in speech-language pathology from USAO provides students with a broad base of knowledge and prepares them well for graduate school and future work in the profession.

Career opportunities for persons with a bachelor’s degree in speech-language pathology are comparable to those for students with undergraduate degrees in related fields, such as psychology, sociology, linguistics, or liberal arts.

University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma (Chickasha, OK) - Elementary Education

 

Elementary Education

This degree program combines liberal arts learning with teacher preparation. Its goal is to prepare individuals to become effective teachers in the elementary grades and obtain an Oklahoma Teaching Certificate in elementary education.

The program is a standards-based program, based upon the guidelines set forth by the Association for Childhood Education International (ACEI), NCATE program standards for elementary teacher preparation,

Oklahoma state competencies, and the findings from “Effective Teacher” research. Collectively, these standards and research findings provide the knowledge base for what elementary teachers should know and do.

Individuals successfully completing this program are qualified to obtain an Oklahoma teaching certificate to teach in grades 1-8.

However, most seventh-eighth grade situations require additional certification in a major subject area, such as middle school science, mathematics, English, or social studies.

University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma (Chickasha, OK) - physical education

 

physical education

The physical education program enriches the life of each student by providing knowledge concerning good health practices, efficient use of body mechanics to meet the demands of a lifetime and the sharpening of skills necessary for participation in physical activities throughout life.

A student can obtain a bachelor of science degree in physical education with or without teacher education certification.
A coaching emphasis is available also for students who desire to coach interscholastic sports.

The majority of graduates with a major in physical education pursue an elementary school or secondary teaching career and are often asked to coach a sport in a co-curricular activity program. 

Many go to graduate school enabling them to specialize in fields such as exercise physiology, sports administration or public and private health/activity management. Other graduates will go into businesses related to their major preparation.

University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma (Chickasha, OK) - communication skills

 

communication skills 

Most people are born with the ability to acquire good communication skills and the communication program can help students realize their full potential.
Communication, by its very nature,
is interdisciplinary, requiring a broad understanding of human behavior; an awareness of the vast diversity, as well as the strong similarities,
among humans and human cultures;
the global nature of how humans are connected to each other; and the critical need to communicate accurately and ethically.
The goal of the USAO communication program is to teach students how to increase shared understanding-- whether interpersonally, in small groups, in a public forum, or among millions through the mass media. 

Rather than the narrow view of a specialist, today’s communication graduate must develop a broad perspective that allows him or her to create effective messages in oral, written, and visual form. This is the focus of the USAO program as students learn how, why, and with what effects humans communicate.
