 YOUR SUCCESS
STARTS AT SUFFOLK
By Dr. Shirley Robinson Pippins, President

Suffolk County Community College is a great

place to pursue your education. A community
college experience stands as an excellent option
for students seeking affordable, quality higher
education in small class settings led by faculty
with credentials from many of the country’s
most acclaimed colleges and universities. Here
at SCCC you will have a rewarding collegiate
experience, find a true sense of community and
discover opportunities to grow both academically
and personally.

Traditionally many of our graduates continue

on to four-year institutions. We have transfer
and joint admissions agreements with many
prestigious four-year schools located locally and around the country. This means you can earn 
your associate’s degree from Suffolk then transfer with full credit to a highly rated four-year col-
lege or university to pursue your bachelor’s degree. By spending the first two years of your higher
education experience here at Suffolk, you’ll receive a quality education while saving thousands
of dollars. There is no doubt SCCC provides a practical choice for financially savvy students and
their families.

As a comprehensive community college, we see our role as crucial to supporting and enhancing
the quality of life here on Long Island. We accomplish this by offering programs, instruction and
student support services that allow us to develop, train and retrain the region’s workforce—pre-
paring tomorrow’s world-class employees.

Whether you are starting your education, seeking to advance in your current job, or have
made the decision to transition into another career, SCCC is your resource. Our campus locations
in Selden, Riverhead and Brentwood, and our satellite center in Sayville, will allow you to attend
when it’s convenient for you—days, evenings, or even weekends.

Our commitment to excellence translates into a broad range of goals for the college. From en-
hancing the probability of success for students who need extra support, to maintaining an academi-
cally challenging environment for our honors students, to working closely with area businesses
to meet their current and projected work force demands, our operating goal is to ensure we are
meeting the full spectrum of student and community needs.

If you have any questions, please call us at 631-451-4000 or visit our Web site at [Link]-

General
SCCC Alumnus Profile
Dr. John Chinnici, Class of 1977
Chiropractor
The youngest of five children born to first-generation Ital-
ian-American parents, John was taught the value of a college
education. But when his father was stricken with a pulmonary
illness that prevented long-term employment, he and his sib-
lings faced the hardships and challenges of having a disabled
parent. Nevertheless, through their own hard work and the
financial support of Basic Educational Opportunity grants,
they all graduated from Suffolk County Community College
and went on to higher levels of education.
After graduating from SCCC and transferring to Stony
Brook University to earn a bachelor’s degree in biological
sciences, Dr. Chinnici enrolled at the National College of 19
Chiropractic in Illinois. There he earned a second bachelor’s
degree in 1981 and a Doctor of Chiropractic in 1982. A member
of the New York State Chiropractic Association, he has since
received numerous certificates and licensures and has done
post-graduate study in such areas as manipulation under anesthesia, industrial back injuries
and headaches.
In 1983 Dr. Chinnici returned to his hometown of East Islip, where he established a general
chiropractic practice and was able to provide care for his aging parents. Over the years he has
been active in the community as a trustee and vice president of the East Islip School District Board
of Education. He has also been a member of the Rotary Club of Islip for twenty-three years, and
has served as its president and community service director, as well as an assistant governor for
the Suffolk County Rotary District 7260.
Recently, Dr. Chinnici was instrumental in finding funds for a new outdoor classroom in the
Grant Campus Nature Preserve. As a member of Rotary, he was asked by an SCCC administrator,
who happened to be a friend, if funding from the organization might be available for outdoor
classroom furniture. Through his help, it was. He coordinated the effort with five different Rotary
Clubs in Suffolk County to raise the funds for picnic tables and benches that can accommodate
twenty-four students.
Dr. Chinnici appreciates the opportunity SCCC provided him and his family. “If it weren’t
for supportive parents and local institutions like Suffolk County Community College, someone’s
future could turn out quite differently,” he says.

SCCC Alumnus Profile
Jonathan D. Gargiulo, Class of 1998
Exercise Physiologist and Wellness Center Owner

“While I was a Fitness Specialist student at Suffolk, I

didn’t appreciate how much knowledge I was gaining,”
says Jonathan Gargiulo. “But when I transferred to Adelphi
University for my bachelor’s and master’s degrees, I realized
that the program had given me a real jump-start.”
Now as president of Human Performance, Inc., and
owner of the David Phillips Spa and Fitness Center in
Oyster Bay, Jonathan enjoys having “one hundred percent
control” of his career.
David Phillips is a day spa and fitness center that employs twenty people, including personal
trainers, yoga instructors, aestheticians, and massage therapists. It offers everything from Thai 41
massage to pedicures to Reiki. He believes that David Phillips Spa offers a level of sophistication
to clients that reflects his own commitment to human health and fitness.
While he was a graduate student in Exercise Physiology at Adelphi, Jonathan had the distinction
of being a graduate assistant. He was responsible for a phase III cardiac rehabilitation and adult
fitness program, performing ECG graded exercise tests and developing exercise prescriptions for
cardiovascular and resistance training. This gave him experience not only in the medical aspect of
physical training but also in group instruction, marketing, memberships and office management.
At the same time, he served as an instructor of exercise physiology for the American College of
Sports Medicine (ACSM), co-authored articles published in the journal Medicine and Science in
Sports and Exercise, earned certification as a Certified Personal Trainer and Emergency Medical
Technician, and worked with professional, collegiate and high school athletes.
Jonathan was also the director of the Exercise Science program at Kingsborough Community
College in Brooklyn. He was responsible for its development, marketing and implementation,
which included hiring adjunct instructors, conducting student advisement, and preparing stu-
dents to take the ACSM Health Fitness Instructor workshop and exam. All of these skills are now
serving him well in his profession.
Jonathan credits SCCC Professor Jean Ann Scharpf for preparing him for his baccalaureate
and graduate training. “Suffolk County Community College made my transition to Adelphi easy.
I strongly recommend the Fitness Specialist program to anyone who plans to pursue a career as
a fitness professional.”

 SCCC Alumna Profile
Kathleen Musto, Class of 1992
Attorney

After graduating from high school, Kathleen worked

as a secretary on Wall Street, then married and became a
mother. After both her children began school, she returned
to work as a real estate agent but knew that was not her
life-long ambition. The question she asked herself was if
she could wake up in the morning and be anything she
wanted, what would it be. The answer was always the same:
a lawyer. In January 1991, more than twenty years after high
school graduation, she decided it was time to pursue her
dream and begin her college education.
It took Kathleen just three semesters to complete her 87
associate’s degree in liberal arts at SCCC, where her first
English professor, Jeffrey Coven, encouraged her to apply
to the Honors program. As a result, she graduated in 1992
with 3.9 GPA, an Honors Recognition Diploma, Pi Alpha
Sigma Honors designation, and membership in the Phi
Theta Kappa national honor society. She also received several scholarships and was included in
Who’s Who in American Junior Colleges.
“I have a philosophy that if you have a dream, you can make it happen,” says Kathleen.
“Professor Coven played a big part in making me believe that.”

Special Academic
Next it was on to Stony Brook University, where she was a Dean’s List student with member-
ship in the Pi Sigma Alpha and Golden Key national honor societies and again maintained a 3.9

Programs
GPA. She graduated in 1994 with a bachelor’s degree in political science.
By August 1994, Kathleen was enrolled at the Hofstra University School of Law. She gradu-
ated with a Juris Doctor degree in 1997 and was admitted to practice in New York State and the
Federal Court System.
Kathleen had intended to practice elder law when she graduated, but because of her back-
ground in real estate, she found herself receiving job offers in that field. She worked as an attorney
for two law firms before opening her own practice in 2000. In her West Islip office, she focuses
primarily on general real estate law with a major emphasis on purchase and sale transactions for all
types of residential and investment properties, including condominium and cooperative units.
Looking back on her whirlwind education, Kathleen remembers her undergraduate studies
as the most enjoyable. She liked the small classes at SCCC, the caring but challenging professors,
and the pleasure of learning for its own sake. She now serves as a mentor at Hofstra law school
because she knows how important it is for students to have someone who can encourage them
when they wonder if achieving their dream is worth all the time, work and sacrifice.

TYPES OF DEGREES
Suffolk County Community College offers a variety of two-year curricula leading to 89

This one-year program is designed specifically for individuals who are currently employed
and who will enroll as part-time students over a period of at least four semesters. The curriculum
includes four standard collegiate accounting courses (AC11, 12, 51 and 52) which must be taken
in sequence. Students who wish to continue their studies after completing this program will find

American Sign Language/A.A.S. DEGREE

Hegis Code – 5599
Ammerman / 341
The particular design of this program allows a concentration in one of two sequences: Interpreter
for the Deaf or American Sign Language Studies.
The Interpreter for the Deaf sequence is designed to expose students to those interpreting
skills necessary to function as an interpreter in a wide range of settings. The academic preparation
will provide a foundation for students to sit for certification evaluation conducted by the Registry
of Interpreters for the Deaf, the National Association for the Deaf and/or interpreting agencies on
Long Island and in New York City.
The American Sign Language Studies sequence is designed for individuals who are interested
in the fields of deafness, linguistics, or psychology as they relates to deafness, social work and/or
special education but who do not want to become interpreters. Graduates will be prepared for
transfer to four-year degree programs in deafness rehabilitation, social work, special education Curricula
and other related areas. Students interested in pursuing New York State certification as a teacher
of American Sign Language in public schools are advised to pursue the Interpreter for the Deaf
sequence which satifies the state requirement of 36 credits in ASL.
Students must achieve a minimum passing grade of C in all ASL courses in order to proceed to the next
ASL course. Only one repeat will be permitted.
Admission Procedures and Requirements
Interpreter Sequence: To be considered for admission to the Interpreter Sequence, the student
must have completed each of the following courses with a grade of B or higher:
SL10: American Sign Language I (3 credits)
SL14: American Sign Language II (3 credits)
SL23: Deaf Culture and Contemporary Issues (3 credits)
EG11: Standard Freshman Composition (3 credits)

continued on next page

 EG33: The Structure of English (3 credits)
Interpreter Sequence students must achieve a minimum grade of B in all SL courses, as well as in EG11
and EG33, in order to be admitted into the program, to remain in the program and to graduate.
American Sign Language Studies Sequence: To be considered for admission to the ASL Stud-
ies sequence, the student must achieve a GPA of 2.75 in the following courses with a minimum
grade of C in each:
EG11: Standard Freshman Composition (3 credits)
SL10: American Sign Lanuage I (3 credits)
SL23: Deaf Culture and Contemporary Issues (3 credits)
PC11: Introduction to Psychology (3 credits)
Both ASL sequences are restricted programs and admission is highly competitive. Not all ap-
plicants meeting the minimum criteria for admission will be accepted.
Applications for the Interpreter for the Deaf sequence are processed for the fall semester only.
Preference is given to students who clearly identify which sequence they are applying for (341-1
or 341-2) and who file their application by April 1.
The Interpreter for the Deaf sequence will take 3 to 4 years of full-time study to complete due
to the required course sequences and admission policy.
SL10, SL14, SL20, SL22, SL23 and SL24 are open to non-program students who have completed
the appropriate prerequisites.

Hegis Code – 5004
Ammerman – Eastern – Grant / 207‑1
This two‑year program is designed for students interested in business careers who plan to
continue their studies toward a baccalaureate degree in business at a four‑year college or university
after completing their associate degree. The program offers a challenging and well‑balanced
distribution of business and liberal arts courses, specifically selected to meet the requirements of
transfer institutions.
Students who plan to enter employment immediately after graduation (rather than transfer)
are advised to select the A.A.S. program in Business Administration, which allows a greater range
of courses in applied business areas.
Admission Procedures and Requirements
Admission to the A.S. curriculum in Business Administration for entering students requires a
minimum 80 average in high school and three years of mathematics (including Mathematics A and
B). Applicants desiring this degree who do not have the above qualifications or who are transfer-
ring from a different degree program must receive permission from the Business Administration
Department or an appropriate business administrator. Students who do not meet the admission
criteria may be admitted on a provisional basis.
Students already enrolled in college must have completed MA27. Applications are processed on
a rolling basis fall and spring, with most students meeting minimum standards being admitted.

chemical dependency COUNSELING / A.A.S. DEGREE
Hegis Code – 5506
Grant / 388-1
This program prepares students for employment or advancement in the field of chemical de-
pendency counseling. Graduates will have fulfilled all the educational and internship requirements
set forth by the New York State Office of Alcohol and Substance Abuse Services (OASAS) and by
the International Credentialing Reciprocity Consortium (ICRC) for the Credential in Alcohol and
Substance Abuse Counseling (CASAC). In addition to this degree, the individual must complete
a work requirement before applying to sit for the credentialing examination.
Students who have either a two-year degree, bachelor’s or master’s degree from an accredited
college will only be required to complete the Chemical Dependency (CD) courses. Upon completion
of the Chemical Dependency courses, students are eligible to apply for the Credentialed Alcohol-
ism Substance Abuse Counselor-Trainee (CASAC-T).
For professionals in the CDC field who wish to remain current, all CDC courses meet NYS
continuing education requirements for recertification.
A letter certifying successful completion of CDC courses is available from the program coor-
Curricula
dinator for students who do not wish to complete an A.A.S. degree.
Students considering transfer to four‑year institutions should consult with those colleges since
transfer credit is determined by the four‑year college.
Admission Procedures and Requirements
It is the expectation of this program that all students will respect the unique character of the
counseling relationship and as such will reflect seriously upon the way abuse of alcohol and
mood-altering drugs would likely affect the quality of professional services offered to chemically
dependent clients. Prospective students who have an addiction should achieve at least two years
of recovery before being admitted to the CDC program. Professional standards of conduct and
adherence to the ethical principles outlined by OASAS will be required of all admitted students
for continuance in this program.
Applicants are required to meet with the program coordinator prior to admission to the pro-
gram. Applicants may request provisional admission to the CDC program prior to the admission
interview.

 Students are admitted fall and spring on a rolling basis. Most students with minimum creden-
tials are accepted. It is recommended that students apply by January 1.

SCCC Alumnus Profile

117
Darren O’Hare, Class of 2001
Actor

Darren O’Hare’s entry into the acting profes-

sion is a story in itself. Born and raised in Stony
Brook, he joined the army immediately after
graduating from Ward Melville High School.
There he quickly excelled as an intelligence analyst
and was recruited by the Department of Defense
as a counter-intelligence agent on a joint task force,
a job that required some acting.
When Darren returned home, he continued
to serve in the army reserve and began working at his local church, where he volunteered as a
counselor and led youth mission trips around the United States and to Germany and India. His
exposure to acting in the military, coupled with his experiences abroad, led him to co-author
a two-man show based on the New Testament book of Luke, which he toured throughout the
country.
In 1997 Darren decided it was time to continue his education and enrolled at SCCC. He began Curricula
his studies in Business Administration but midway through found his interest in acting rekindled.
Rather than lose the credits he had already earned, he doubled his major and graduated in 2001
with a second associate’s degree in Theatre Arts.
“Suffolk’s Theatre Arts Department created an excellent environment for me to grow,” says
Darren, who appeared in SCCC student productions ranging from Neil Simon to Shakespeare.
“Besides learning all the basics of acting, the faculty taught me respect for acting and helped me
build a strong foundation for a career. Their training, support and encouragement have helped
to get where I am today.”
Darren knew he wanted to pursue a career in film and television so shortly after graduating
from Suffolk he “packed up his truck and drove across country to Los Angeles.” A member of
the Screen Actors Guild (SAG), he recently played supporting roles in the CBS television series
The Unit, directed by David Mamet, and Close to Home, and in the Fox series 24 and Skin. He also
appeared as the lead in the 2002 film Moratorium and has been seen in television commercials.

 GRAPHIC DESIGN / A.A.S. DEGREE
Hegis Code – 5012
Eastern / 365-1
The Graphic Design curriculum links an intensive design program with courses in the liberal
arts to prepare students for positions in the field of graphic design. A graphic designer is a problem
solver who integrates typography and images to create a visual communication in such areas as
advertising, editorial, corporate and publication design. Although career preparation is an impor-
tant goal of this program, the solid foundation in graphic design it provides can be transferred to
many four-year colleges.
The four-semester sequence starting every fall requires that acceptance into the graphic design
curriculum is for FALL admission only. However, students may consult with the department for
spring courses, but will be on a track consisting of five or more semesters due to core courses’
prerequisites. Also, the department recommends that students consider completing liberal arts
requirements in summer session and wintersession to lighten their semester credit load.
Students matriculated in the Graphic Design curriculum must achieve a minimum grade of C
in each graphic design core course in order to continue on to the next course in the sequence and
to qualify for graduation.

Hegis Code — 5317
Grant / 395-1
The Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (HVAC/R) associate’s degree pro-
gram prepares students for rewarding and challenging positions in the ever-changing and growing
HVAC/R industry. This A.A.S. degree program provides students with a well-rounded education
in HVAC/R technology that includes a thorough understanding and working knowledge of the
theory and practical applications necessary for superior systems operation. As new technologies
are developed and incorporated in the manufacture and upgrading of equipment, the need for
skilled and dedicated technicians continues to expand. According to Bureau of Labor statistics,
125
the employment needs for this area are expected to outpace the average employment needs for
other service-based industries.
By combining comprehensive, career-based courses such as system design, diagnostics, servic-
ing and controls with real-life, hands-on training through internships and intensive laboratory
sessions, the HVAC/R curriculum—teamed with a grounding in the liberal arts—provides students
with the credentials and experience needed to obtain immediate employment upon successfully
completing the program.
The HVAC/R degree program is a part-time evening and weekend program that can be
completed in seven semesters. The program begins only in the fall semester of even-numbered
years. Prior to matriculation, however, students may take some courses that would apply to the
program.
Admission Procedures and Requirements
Requirements for admission include high school graduation or the successful completion of a
General Education Diploma (GED) program and the completion of high school Mathematics A or
an algebra course equivalent to the college's MA07 Algebra I course. Students requiring develop-
mental courses must successfully complete them prior to being matriculated.
The HVAC/R program is a restricted program and admission is competitive. Meeting minimum
criteria does not guarantee acceptance into the program. The college reserves the right to make

 INTERIOR DESIGN ASSISTANT / A.A.S. DEGREE
Hegis Code – 5012
Eastern / 329-1
This curriculum combines an intensive program of study in art and interior design with courses
in the liberal arts to prepare students to assume positions of interior design assistant or junior
designer or for transfer into four-year programs of study.
The responsibilities of the interior design assistant encompass many aspects of creating resi-
dential or commercial environments built for human habitation. The design assistant helps clients
with the selection and arrangement of interior furnishings and performs basic tasks necessary to
implement a design, such as, preparing drawings and business documents, measuring and pro-
viding cost estimates, and working with subcontractors. This curriculum is included in the New
York State Education Department’s inventory of Registered Programs and meets New York State
educational requirements for licensure as an interior designer.
The four-semester sequence starting every fall requires that acceptance into the Interior De-
sign Assistant curriculum is for FALL admission only. However, students may consult with the
department for spring courses, but will be on a track consisting of five or more semesters due to
core course prerequisites.

This curriculum is designed for students seeking a liberal arts education which will develop
their intellect, enhance their self-expression, contribute to a sense of self-fulfillment, and provide an
understanding of our common cultural heritage. The program focuses on a central core of learning
experiences in the arts, humanities, social sciences, natural sciences and mathematics and consti-
tutes an ideal foundation and preparation for those students who plan to continue their studies
toward a baccalaureate degree at a four-year college or university. At the same time, it also offers
sufficient flexibility and opportunity for exploration to serve the needs of those students who are
undecided about their career goals and who wish to explore diverse fields of interest.

Hegis Code – 5649
Ammerman / 100
The Humanities curriculum is designed to provide students with a rigorous introduction to
the humanities as preparation for a variety of professions such as teaching, writing, law, film and
communications. The curriculum attempts to balance the need for a broad background with an
opportunity for an early experience in a particular branch of learning to foster greater depth of
understanding.
Opportunities to explore specialized areas are offered as options in cinema studies, commu-
nications, English, foreign language and philosophy. Each option provides students with a solid
background for transfer to baccalaureate programs in a chosen field.
Admission Procedures and Requirements
Entering students should have an 80 or above high school average. Students already enrolled
in college should demonstrate a minimum 3.0 GPA and can be admitted fall or spring. Students
who do not meet the admission criteria may be admitted on a provisional basis.

A.A. DEGREE
Hegis Code – 5649
Ammerman – Eastern – Grant / 110
This curriculum is designed to prepare students for transfer to a four-year college or university
to pursue a baccalaureate degree in some area of international studies. The program is part of
a larger education movement which recognizes the need to respond to the globalization of the
economy, the interdependence of nations and peoples, and the growth of international political
institutions. Students in this program will ultimately seek careers in government or the private
sector with an international orientation or emphasis.
There are three options or areas of specialization within the program: business, humanities and
social science. The study of foreign languages is an important component of the program. Foreign
travel and learning about foreign cultures are also encouraged.
Admission Procedures and Requirements
For entering students, the minimum requirement for admission is an 80 high school average.
Students already enrolled in college need 12 credits with a 3.0 GPA or better.

General notes about the Nursing Program:
• Nursing courses require that students travel to a wide variety of hospitals and community
agencies throughout Suffolk County.
• In addition to college health requirements, all full-time and part-time nursing students must
meet the health requirements of the Nursing Department. These health requirements include an
annual physical examination and proof of immunity. In addition, students must provide proof
of successful completion of an American Heart Association Basic Life Support for Healthcare
Providers course or an American Red Cross CPR (CardioPulmonary Resuscitation) for Profes- Curricula
sional Rescuers course, which must be submitted and maintained throughout each nursing
course. CPR online courses will not be accepted. Failure to meet the above requirements will
result in suspension from clinical laboratory until all requirements are met.
• All nursing students are required to have criminal background checks.
• Students need to meet safety and technical standards for nursing practice. This information is
available in the Admissions Office, the Nursing Handbook, and on the Nursing Web page.
• Students admitted to the nursing program may be permitted to register for fewer than 12 credits
provided they meet the prerequisite and corequisite requirements in the nursing curriculum.
• Students must achieve a minimum passing grade of C in each science course (BY30, BY32 and
BY44) and all nursing courses with a fieldwork (clinical) component in order to progress to
the next course in the sequence and to qualify for graduation. Students who receive grades
less than C in two clinical nursing courses will be dismissed from the program. If a student
is failed from a clinical nursing course due to failure in the clinical portion of the course,
continued on next page
 he or she will receive an F for that course regardless of the time of the semester this failure
occurs.
• Applicants to the nursing program may submit one CLEP or similar standardized test score in
fulfillment of the EG11 or PC11 prerequisite. The CLEP score will not be computed as part of
the grade point average for purposes of admission decisions. For students who submit more
than one CLEP score, one score will be converted to a letter equivalent and computed as part
of the grade point average.
• Eligibility to sit for the licensing examination to become a Registered Nurse is subject to New
York State law regarding professional misconduct. Applicants for the nursing program who
have been convicted of a crime, or whose practice of nursing may be impaired by alcohol,
drugs, physical or mental disability, must contact the State Education Department, Division
of Professional Licensing Service.

 OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY ASSISTANT / A.A.S. DEGREE
Hegis Code – 5210
Grant / 391-1
The Occupational Therapy Assistant program is a two-year program that educates people for
employment in the occupational therapy field of health care. An occupational therapy assistant
(OTA) works under the supervision of a registered occupational therapist (OTR) as part of a health
care team. The OTA works to restore and enhance the health of clients by facilitating occupation
– the performance of purposeful activity in work, play and self-care.
Occupational therapy assistants help people perform activities that are meaningful to their
lives. They work with individuals facing problems resulting from developmental impairment,
physical disabilities, psychological impairment and aging. The OTA graduate can expect to find
employment in diverse settings such as schools, hospitals, home settings, rehabilitation centers,
day and residential treatment centers, community-based mental health centers, assisted living
centers and many others.
The Occupational Therapy Assistant program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for
Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) of the American Occupational Therapy Association
(AOTA). AOTA is located at 4720 Montgomery Lane, P.O. Box 31220, Bethesda, MD 20824-1220.
ACOTE may be reached by telephone at (301) 652-2682.
Graduates are qualified for New York State certification without examination. They are also
eligible to sit for the national certification examination for the occupational therapy assistant ad-
ministered by the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT). Information
about state licensure may be obtained from the New York State Education Department, Office of
the Professions, Division of Professional Licensing Services, State Education Building - 2nd Floor,
162 89 Washington Avenue, Albany, New York 12234. See footnote for additional information regard-
ing licensure.
The OTA curriculum provides students with classroom, laboratory and fieldwork experience
so that they understand the responsibilities of the profession and develop necessary skills to
practice it.
Students must achieve a minimum grade of C in each occupational therapy assistant course
in order to continue on to the next course in the sequence and to qualify for graduation with an
occupational therapy assistant degree. Students are permitted to repeat only one OA course. Once
students have entered the occupational therapy assistant curriculum, they will have a maximum
of four years to complete the sequence.
Students are required to complete Level I Fieldwork as part of the class work for Occupational
Therapy Media and Applications I, II and III. Students travel to community settings for Level I
Fieldwork experiences outside of scheduled class times. The level II Fieldwork component, Clini-
cal Practice I and II, consists of a minimum of 16 weeks of full-time work in a practice setting.
Students have in-depth experiences in delivering occupational therapy services to clients with
a variety of ages and conditions. Fieldwork for Clinical Practice I or Clinical Practice II may be
delayed by mutual agreement between the college and the student. The American Occupational
Therapy Association requires that all fieldwork be completed within 18 months of the completion
Curricula

of the academic portion of the program. If fieldwork is delayed, the date of graduation will be
delayed accordingly.
Note: Students are required to attend a 10-week summer session after successfully complet-
ing the first academic year of the program. The summer course is offered only in this sequence
and is a requirement for continuation as a third-semester student and for graduation within
the stated timeline.
Admission Requirements and Procedures
Entering students must have successfully completed high school Mathematics A, laboratory
biology and laboratory chemistry (B average) and have a high school average of 80 or higher.
For students already enrolled in college, minimum requirements for consideration for admission
are completion of EG11, BY30 and PC11 with an average of 3.0 or better. Please note that MA07 and
CH19 or their equivalents are prerequisites for BY30. Science courses directly related to the practice of
occupational therapy (BY30 and BY32 or their transferred equivalents) must have been completed
within 10 years of admission to the program. Completing BY30 and BY32 is strongly recommended prior
to starting the [Link] admissions committee will also take into consideration the completion
of BY32 and experience in a health care setting.
In addition to college health requirements, all occupational therapy students, full- and part-time,
must meet the health requirements of the Occupational Therapy Assistant program.

 OPHTHALMIC DISPENSING (VISION CARE
TECHNOLOGY) / A.A.S. DEGREE*
Hegis Code – 5212
Grant / 389-1
This two-year program prepares students for employment in the vision care field. After com-
pleting the program, graduates will be eligible to sit for the New York State licensing examination
in Ophthalmic Dispensing and for the certification examination for contact lens fitting.
An ophthalmic dispenser is broadly defined by the Commission on Opticianry as an individual
who adapts and fits corrective eyewear/ophthalmic devices as prescribed by an ophthalmologist
or optometrist. The student in this program will gain marketable skills in ophthalmic dispensing
(including contact lenses and low vision), ophthalmic fabrication, clinical information collection
and use, and ophthalmic office management.
The graduate will find a broad spectrum of employment possibilities in independent optical
shops or retail chain settings, in cooperation with optometrists and ophthalmologists, or in related
activities (e.g., sales and marketing of optical supplies and equipment, presentation of continuing
education seminars).
The curriculum combines general and technical education with career development and clinical
experience. In addition to liberal arts and sciences courses, the first year of the program provides
preparation for the students’ clinical work in the second year. After experience in the campus clinic,
each student will spend a total of 120 hours in an external clinical setting under the supervision
of a licensed ophthalmic dispenser.
Students must achieve a minimum passing grade of C in each ophthalmic dispensing course
164 in order to progress to the next course in the sequence and qualify for graduation.
Students must purchase ophthalmic tools, lab coats and name tags for the second semester of
the program. The approximate cost is $350.00.
Admission Procedures and Requirements
All applicants should have successfully completed high school biology (with laboratory) and
Mathematics A or their equivalents [at Suffolk County Community College, BY14 and MA07] and
be eligible to take EG11 and MA27 in their first semester. Students are admitted on a rolling basis
(FALL ONLY). Most students with minimum credentials are admitted. It is recommended that
students apply by January 1.
Note that students who do not meet the admission criteria may be admitted on a provisional basis.
An evening/summer scheduling option is available in alternate years, if there is sufficient

Hegis Code – 5099
Ammerman – Grant / 333-1
A legal assistant, or paralegal, is a person, qualified by education, training or work experience,
who is employed or retained by a lawyer, law office, corporation, governmental/public agency,
bank, industry or other entity and who performs specifically delegated substantive legal work for
which a lawyer is responsible. The paralegal studies program is designed neither for attorneys nor
law office administrators. Paralegals are prohibited from performing the unauthorized practice
of law.
This curriculum, which is approved by the American Bar Association, provides students with
a background in law as practiced in legal offices and trains them to prepare documents such as
probate forms, title searches and closing statements, pleadings and discovery proceedings, legal
memoranda, and corporate minutes and filings. Skilled use of the English language is essential,
and a high level of verbal competence is required for completion of the curriculum. Knowledge
of word processing software packages is strongly recommended.
Not all legal courses are offered on each campus each semester. Students are strongly urged
to meet with a paralegal academic advisor to plan their program. Failure to do so may result in
delayed completion of the program.
Admission Procedures and Requirements
For entering students, minimum requirements for admission are an 80 high school average,
Regents English, strong reading and writing skills, and a combined score of 1000 on the SAT or a
composite score of 21 on the ACT. Students already enrolled in college need 12 credits with a 3.0
GPA which include a B or better in EG11 and BL40. Students are admitted on a rolling basis, fall
166 and spring, with most students who meet minimum standards admitted. Note: students who do
not meet the admission criteria may be admitted on a provisional basis.

Hegis Code – 5007
Eastern - Grant / 372-1
This curriculum combines an intensive fine art program with courses in the liberal arts and
sciences to prepare students for entry-level positions in the field of photography. The student will
learn how to use a camera as a tool to explore the visual world while producing photographs
which reflect sensitivity, intelligence and technical expertise. After completing two foundation-level
courses in black and white photography, students further develop their skills in studio photography
and select a two-course sequence in advanced printing processes and large format photography
or select two courses in digital imaging. Although career preparation is an important goal of this
curriculum, it also provides a solid foundation in fine art photography which can be transferred
to many four-year colleges.

 VETERINARY SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY / A.A.S. DEGREE
Hegis Code – 5402
Grant / 390-1
Veterinary Science Technology is a growing field that offers a variety of careers to individuals
interested in working with animals either as technicians or as members of a scientific community.
For many people, the study of veterinary technology serves as a starting point for entry into vari-
ous animal and health-related careers.
A veterinary technician is described by the American Veterinary Medical Association as “a
person knowledgeable in the care and handling of animals, in the basic principles of normal and
abnormal life processes, and in routine laboratory and clinical procedures. A technician is primarily
an assistant to veterinarians, biological research workers and other scientists.”
The demand for personnel trained in the area of animal care and management is strong. The
large pet population requires technical-support personnel to assist veterinarians in clinical practices.
The growth of biomedical research and the concern for humane care of animals used in research
require qualified assistants. The expansion of the biotechnology industry has increased the need
for qualified technical support.
The Veterinary Science Technology program has been designed to graduate well-trained and
competent technicians for the veterinary and biomedical research fields. Practical experience with
live animals and field experience under typical working conditions form an integral part of the
program. The practical experience is achieved by internships with affiliated veterinary clinics,
biomedical research centers and the college’s animal facilities.
The Veterinary Science Technology program is fully accredited by the American Veterinary
Medical Association. Upon completion of the program, the student is eligible to take the New York
State Education Department licensure examination for certification as a veterinary technician. 177
An articulation agreement exists between Suffolk County Community College and Cornell
University. Students have the opportunity to be accepted into the College of Agriculture and Life
Sciences at Cornell University after completing their A.A.S. degree at Suffolk County Community
College.
Animal Use
Animal use in the Veterinary Science Technology program falls under the jurisdiction of the
United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the New York State Department of Health.
Although animal alternatives to animal use are employed, a minimum of hands-on animal train-
ing is required to meet the standards set forth by the American Veterinary Medical Association's
Committee on Veterinary Technician Activities.
Typical Employment Opportunities
Job opportunities exist as licensed veterinary technicians in the following areas:
Small animal hospitals and clinics City, state and federal government agencies
Research laboratories Universities
Pharmaceutical companies Medical and dental schools
Pet Industry/Sales Zoological gardens
Public health agencies Laboratory animal products/sales
Curricula
Admission Procedures and Requirements
All applicants must have successfully completed high school Mathematics B, high school biol-
ogy and chemistry (both with laboratories), or their equivalents (at Suffolk County Community
College, MA07, BY14 and CH19). Those applying directly from high school must also have a high
school math and science average of 75 or higher. It is recommended that students apply by January
1 in the year of anticipated entry.
Admission to the full-time day program is for fall only; evening students are accepted for the
fall of even-numbered years. However, many students take courses that would apply to the cur-
riculum prior to matriculation.
The Veterinary Science Technology curriculum is a restricted program and highly competitive.
Meeting minimum criteria does not guarantee acceptance to the program. The college reserves the
right to make final decisions based upon the applicant pool each year.

SCCC Alumna Profile

Diana M. Perenza, Class of 1994
Vice President, Florence Building Materials
183
Almost everywhere you look on Long Island, something is
being built, and it is being built by men. But behind the scenes
there is at least one woman making sure that supplies keep flowing
to work sites and that suppliers are being paid. For more than a
decade, Diana Perenza has worked to strengthen and advance the
building material supply industry, both locally and nationally.
Diana began working in credit and collections with contractors
in the 1980s and had a growing career. But when the recession hit
in the early 1990s, she realized she needed a more broadly based
legal education and turned for help to SCCC. There the staff guided
her into the Paralegal program. Within one year of graduating in
1994, she began working at Florence Building Materials as credit manager and comptroller and
is today the company’s vice president. “The education I received at Suffolk allowed me to stay in
my field instead of working for an attorney,” said Diana. “The college has a way of making people
feel comfortable with asking questions. It was always right there for me.”
Diana’s paralegal training also prepared her for legislative work. In 1996, as a board member
of the Long Island Lumber Association (LILA), she took a lead in enacting the nation’s first tax
relief bill specific to the building material supply industry. Known as the “pay when paid” law,
it has since been duplicated in Connecticut and Rhode Island.
At the federal level, as co-chair of the National Lumber and Building Material Dealers As-
sociation Bankruptcy Reform Committee in Washington, D.C., Diana spearheaded an effort in
1996 to add a 523a provision to Chapter 13 of the 2005 Bankruptcy Reform Law. The result is that
suppliers are now allowed to recuperate one hundred percent of funds, instead of twenty-five
percent, when a misappropriation occurs.
Courses

Diana’s interest in collections has reached as far as Vancouver, British Columbia, where she
recently conducted a seminar to teach American building material suppliers how to utilize the
collection laws available to them.
In addition to her work for LILA, Diana has been active on the boards of the Northeastern
Retail Lumber Association (NRLA) and the Lumber and Building Material Dealers Association
(LBMDA). In 2000 she was honored as one of SCCC’s Outstanding Alumni and in 2003 was named
the LILA Lumber Person of the Year.

 SCCC Alumnus Profile
Michael Russell, Class of 1976
Investments Director

When Michael Russell was appointed to the Board of Trust-

ees of the State University of New York (SUNY) in 2005, it was
another step along a path of lifelong service to the community.
With a distinguished career in financial management, he has been
an asset to numerous business and non-profit organizations for
thirty years.
Currently the director of investments for the Port Jefferson
office of Wachovia Securities, Michael began working for the com-
pany, previously known as Prudential Securities, in 1982. Since
then, he has shared his energy and expertise with such enterprises
278 as the New York State Small Business Development Corporation,
the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s Capital Review Board, the Brookhaven Industrial
Development Agency, and as Commissioner of the New York State Cable Television Commission.
He has also been active politically as a transition team member for the Suffolk County Executive
and for the District Attorney. He held the title of Special Assistant to the New York State Senate
Majority Leader for more than six years.
Michael credits SCCC with helping him set his course in life. “At Suffolk I met wonderful
professors like Dr. Gary Goodwin and Dr. Corita Kong who inspired me to continue my educa-
tion,” he says. After four years of service in the U.S. Air Force, including a tour in Vietnam, he
went on to earn a bachelor’s degree from Adelphi University. He believes it was his education
that prepared him to work and provide guidance for not-for-profit organizations.
Michael’s community spirit is reflected in the various awards he has won. In 2005, he was
named Man of the Year by Jefferson’s Ferry Continuous Care Retirement Community and Trustee
of the Year by the Nassau Suffolk Hospital Council. In 1992, he was honored as Man of the Year
by the Nassau Suffolk Chapter of Big Brothers/Big Sisters and in 1994 as an Outstanding Busi-
ness Leader by SCCC. He has also received a Certificate of Merit from the Suffolk County Bar
Association, the Theodore Roosevelt Award from J.T. Mather Hospital in Port Jefferson, and a
Public Service Award from the Suffolk County District Attorney.
Michael’s appointment to SUNY’s Board of Trustees is only one of his current commitments. In
the non-profit area, he continues to serve as a director of J.T. Mather Memorial Hospital, chairman
emeritus of the Nassau-Suffolk Hospital Council, director and treasurer of Jefferson’s Ferry, and
president of the Alternatives for Children Foundation, an organization that provides rehabilita-
tion and care for challenged children.
Explaining his dedication, Michael says, “I feel strongly that it is everyone’s obligation to give
of both their time and financial resources to make their communities better places to live.”

 SCCC Alumna Profile
Karla Torres, Class of 1990
Social Worker

“Anyone can tell you that working with adolescents can

be challenging, but when you can encourage and engage
them in creating positive changes it is deeply rewarding,”
says Karla Torres, a social worker at Brentwood High School.
“I consider myself lucky to have a job where I can encour-
age, empower, and advocate for the students and families
I work with.”
When Karla graduated from high school, she was not
sure about what she wanted to do with her future, but she
knew she would need a college education to be success-
ful. Like many young students looking for direction, she 279
enrolled at SCCC. “From the day I enrolled at Suffolk until
the day I graduated, the staff was always available, helpful
and supportive,” she says. “Suffolk is where I gained the
academic foundation and self-confidence I needed to pursue
my education.”
With the encouragement of Professor Sam Brinn, As-
sistant Director of Admissions and EOP, Karla applied for and won a scholarship through the
Minority Achievers Scholarship Program (MASP). That motivated her to think about a profession
which would allow her to give back to the community. She says, “Professor Brinn managed to
put many students, including me, on the path to educational success.”
After graduating from SCCC with an associate’s degree in liberal arts, Karla transferred to
Adelphi University, where she earned both a B.A. in psychology and a Master’s of Social Work
(M.S.W.).
During her graduate study, she completed a variety of internships that prepared her for
her present career. At the Developmental Disabilities Institute, she worked with an adult au-
tistic population, teaching them daily living and socialization skills. At Stony Brook University
Hospital, she assisted patients and their families in coping with changes caused by illness and
hospitalization, and coordinated the discharge plans for their continued care. Her third assign-
ment, at Brentwood’s South Middle School, introduced her to the work with adolescents that is
now her specialty. Karla provides interventions for students dealing with abuse, peer pressure,
pregnancy, truancy and other school and family-related problems. She believes that most students
can overcome obstacles if they reach out for support and guidance.
Karla says that if she could begin her career again, she would still choose the profession of
social work and she would still choose the Brentwood School District. She would also still choose
Courses

to start her education at SCCC. She says it is because of the positive experience she had at the
college that she encourages Brentwood High School students to consider starting there too.

 SCCC Alumna Profile
Yvonne Ward, Class of 2005
Occupational Therapy Assistant

As a Trans World Airlines (TWA) flight attendant for

31 years, Yvonne Ward saw an endless stream of refu-
gees escaping on planes from wars in different parts of
the world. As she witnessed the joy and suffering of the
diverse peoples of the planet, she says, she always tried
to give comfort and encouragement. In 2003, she decided
she would rather “help people at a higher level although
at a somewhat lower altitude” and embarked on a career
in occupational therapy.
With a recently earned bachelor’s degree in Community
Health Education from York College (CUNY), the Brooklyn 343
resident enrolled in SCCC’s Occupational Therapy Assistant
program and graduated in January 2005 with an Associate
of Science degree. A member of Phi Theta Kappa, Yvonne
found SCCC’s superior library services and computer lab
facilities to be especially helpful with her course work.
As part of her degree requirements, Yvonne also gained valuable hands-on experience through
internships at St. Charles Hospital in Port Jefferson, Stony Brook University Hospital, Alterna-
tives for Children in Stony Brook, Grace Plaza Comprehensive Care Center in Great Neck, and St.
Catherine of Siena Nursing Home in Smithtown. In these settings, she worked with individuals
facing problems resulting from developmental and physical disabilities, psychological impair-
ment and aging.
Since graduating, Yvonne’s professional experience has been diverse. Currently, she is a
contract therapist at the H.G. Birch Early Childhood Center in New York, where she provides
services to pre-school age children with physical disabilities. She is also a per diem therapist at
Millennium Rehabilitation Services in Brooklyn, which provides therapy services to hospitals,
nursing homes and schools, and at All Care Inc., in Queens, where she works with pre-school
pediatric patients.
“The sensitivity, patience and understanding required of occupational therapists have always
been some of my own strongest assets,” says Yvonne. “Suffolk helped me apply all of these quali-
ties to my work and also gave me a solid education that included knowledge, hands-on skills,
and support from the faculty.”
