General Information
About the College
bartonccc.edu/community/aboutbarton
The idea to create a community college in Barton County was
introduced in the early 1960s at the Mayflower Caf, a popular
Great Bend restaurant on Forest Avenue where businessmen
gathered for coffee and conversation. Those early proponents
were dedicated to the proposition that everyone has the right
to higher education.
Former Great Bend Tribune editor Paul Conrad, the Great Bend
Jaycees and later the entire community was involved in bringing a community college to Barton County. Beginning with a
feasibility study in 1960 and overcoming a 1962 election defeat,
Barton Community College was founded in 1965.
J.A. Mermis chaired the original Board of Trustees. With the
trustees at work long before the first students arrived, the college exceeded all expectations from the beginning.
When the college opened in the fall of 1969, more than 1,000
students enrolled in the first classes when only 525 were
expected. Today, the college serves more than 13,000 students
annually, averaging more than 6,000 headcount and more than
1,000 full-time equivalency each semester.
Throughout its history, the college has been dedicated to the
philosophy that the individual is societys greatest resource
and has relied on its greatest strength, its employees. From
the care given to the physical plant to the individual attention
given in its classrooms, the staff and faculty have successfully
attracted students from all over the state of Kansas, the nation
and beyond.
Barton graduates who transfer have performed as well or better than the university students who started at their respective
colleges, according to the universities reports.
Community college students who
have entered the
workforce have
matched the success of their university peers.

full-time freshman students (those enrolled in 12 or more semester hours with a total of less than 24 successfully passed college
credits) are required to live in college residence halls. You may be
exempt from being required to live in the college residence halls
if you meet at least one of the following criteria:
Are married
Are 21 years of age or older, or
Have children or child who reside(s) with you
Live in Barton County, or bordering county with parents, legal
guardian, or other immediate family member.
During the first two weeks of the fall and spring semesters,
the student may drop classes and a 100% refund will be issued.
After this point, when a class is dropped, no refund will be issued.
It is the students responsibility to officially withdraw from classes. Students may initiate a drop by contacting their advisor or the
Enrollment Services Office at 792-9252. Non-attendance does
not constitute an official drop.
If the student withdraws from classes and it is determined
that a refund of federal funds is owed, Barton will contact the
student informing them if they owe a repayment. The student
will be responsible to repay any funds that are determined to
be unearned if you owe a repayment to the Department of
Education. Owing a repayment may cause the student to be ineligible for further federal aid.
For financial aid disbursement policies, visit the Barton Financial
Aid web site.
Meningitis Health Information Facts

Students residing in Barton Community College campus housing are required (by the Kansas Board of Regents) to receive the
meningitis vaccination or sign a waiver. The student must either
provide written documentation of immunization or sign a waiver
after reviewing the information provided that informs of the dangers of meningococcal disease and indicates that the vaccine has
been declined. If a student is less than 18 years of age, a parent or
legal guardian must be given a copy of this document and must
sign the waiver as well.
Non-compliant students will be placed on administrative hold
following the first week of classes and remain on administrative
hold until the compliance is documented with Student Housing
Office. Students will be unable to enroll for the following semester until the hold is released.

Programs of Study
Overview
Barton develops and updates its programs in collaboration with

advisory committees. Industry representatives share information that ensures curriculum which mirrors the expectations
of employers. Many programs offer student career learning
experiences.
Programs and Curricula

Barton Community College offers a comprehensive curriculum
including: transfer opportunities, career technical education programs, general education coursework, certificate and associate
degree programs. The Colleges goal is to provide high quality education and training in all of its courses, regardless of the program
of study. Flexibility in planning a course of study, along with experienced advisors, assists our students reach educational goals.
Whether students are pursuing certificate and/or degree completion or are preparing to transfer, they are strongly encouraged to work closely with their program advisor. All of Bartons
career technical education programs have advisors available to
assist students.
Transfer Programs
Barton is fully accredited by the Higher Learning Commission,
therefore credits earned are accepted by most colleges and universities in the United States. By following the information provided by the Transfer Equivalency Program a student will be able
to carefully plan an associate degree program, which will transfer
without loss of credit. Students should utilize the expertise of
academic advisors on campus, as well as information gained by
contacting colleges and universities concerning degree requirements within the appropriate departments or colleges.
General Education
The General Education program provides a foundation for personal enrichment and achievement. A broad selection of courses
is available to explore a variety of interests. These courses are
designed to become a part of a transfer program. The essential
objective of general education is to educate the individual student to be a rational and humane person.
Associate Degree Programs
The associate degree is a nationally recognized degree awarded
upon the successful completion of a minimum of 64 credit
hours with a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or better in
an approved educational program. Students will want to review
with an academic advisor the several degree options available
at Barton.
Students who plan to transfer to a four-year college or university,

but are uncertain of the area of specialization or major, should
consider taking general education courses required by most colleges or universities. Visit with an academic advisor concerning
the Transfer and Articulation Agreement which provides a guide
to general education planning for students transferring to instate colleges or universities.
Careful planning in cooperation with an academic advisor will
result in a smooth transition from Barton to the transfer school.
Barton students who have transferred to four-year colleges and
universities have consistently done as well or better than the students who started at that four-year institution.
Career Technical Education Programs (Certificates & Degrees)
Career technical education offers students an opportunity to pursue certificate and degree programs designed to prepare them
for employment and/or transfer to an university. The subject
matter is relevant to the real world, promoting essential skills that
range from job-related technical skills to workplace ethics and
soft skills. Many of Bartons programs serve as a career pathway
link from secondary to postsecondary education.
Career technical
education also
assists individuals already in the
workplace, providing training options
that enhance current workplace
skills, while supporting potential
career advancement or transitional
careers.

Programs of Study
Programs of Study
General Education Courses
The definitions for general education courses are as follow:

Depth Course - A "depth course" is any non-fundamental course
that is more narrowly focused in scope, covers one or more
specific areas within a broader field of study, and/or addresses
relatively fewer of the general education outcomes approved by
the faculty at BCC. Also, many courses that require subject prerequisites would be considered depth courses. By analogy, depth
courses take a "spotlight" approach to the coverage of subject
material, and the narrow range of material covered allows an
opportunity for coverage of the subject in greater detail.
General Education Course - Any course that is approved to fulfill

credit towards the State and College requirements for General
Education and graduation with any of the following degrees:
Associate in Arts (A.A.), Associate in Science (A.S.), Associate in
General Studies (A.G.S.), or Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S).
General education courses typically are non-developmental and
non-professional in orientation, and they are offered as electives
or required courses from within broader subject areas.
Foundation Studies Course - A "foundation course" is any
general education course that is an elective or a required course
and that fulfills course or credit requirements in the quantitative,
communications, or physical education areas.
Studio Course - Any depth or breadth course in the Fine Arts

(Humanities) that instructs students on the techniques used
in artistic expression and significantly involves students (individually or as a group) in the production of tangible, physical
artistic products.
Breadth Course - A "breadth course" is any non-fundamental

course that is introductory in nature, provides a wide scope of
coverage, overview, or survey of a relatively broad field of study,
and/or addresses a wide spectrum of the general education
outcomes approved by the faculty at BCC. By analogy, breadth
courses take a "floodlight" approach to the coverage of subject
material, and the wider range of the subject taught might be at
the expense of going into less detail.
Performance Course - Any course in the Fine Arts (Humanities)

that instructs students on the techniques used in artistic expression and significantly involves students (individually or as a
group) in ephemeral activities that relate to public entertainment
and/or personal enrichment.
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
ASSOCIATE IN APPLIED SCIENCE
The Associate in Applied Science Degree prepares you for entry into
a career. The coursework is relevant to the real world, promoting
employability traits that range from job-related technical skills
to workplace ethics and soft skills. The program of study consists
primarily of career technical education classes but may also include
transfer classes.
Developmental courses cannot be used to fulfill degree requirements.
Prior to the beginning of the third semester, candidates for the
Associate in Applied Science Degree must designate a specific
program of courses approved by the appropriate instructional area
and signed by the advisor.
The Associate in Applied Science Degree will be awarded upon the

attainment of predetermined and specified performance requirements and satisfactory completion of a planned program of at
least 64 college credit hours with a cumulative grade point average
of 2.0 or overall C. To be eligible for graduation, the student must
have completed at least fifteen (15) credit hours from Barton
Community College. Students who remain continuously enrolled
from time of entry to application for graduation will be held to the
catalog requirements in effect when they declare their program
of study, unless a later catalog is adopted. Continuous enrollment refers to annual Fall and Spring semester enrollment (or
equivalent) in a minimum of at least one credit bearing course per
semester. Should a students enrollment be interrupted, they will
be held to the guidelines and requirements of the catalog of record

at the time of program re-entry.
This guideline does not apply to students with documented leave
of absence justification or members of the military involved
in deployment operations. Changes to prerequisites and/or
curriculum which occur for purposes beyond graduation e.g.
regulatory and legislative updates, third party accreditation or
other certification bodies requirements, increased skill demand
from industry, employment or transfer requirement changes, or
