The District's Educational Services Department has made recommendations for updates in our district-wide course catalog. At this time we are submitting four (4) new Career Technical Education (CTE) courses in the Business and Finance Sector titled RCOE Business Computer Fundamentals, RCOE Professional Business Communications, RCOE Business Ethics in Marketing, and RCOE Personal Finance Fundamentals. All four (4) of these courses meet the UC/CSU A-G Requirement “G”.
RCOE Business Computer Fundamentals is an introduction to computer applications as it relates to business and home use. The course will introduce software topics in Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Office, Google Drive Office Suite (G-Suite), LibreOffice/OpenOffice, Internet, World Wide Web, electronic mail, file management, and data communications. This is a Concentration course for the Business Management Pathway. This course can be articulated with Mount San Jacinto College course OTEC-090.
RCOE Professional Business Communications (ROP) are designed to prepare students for essential business communication skills utilizing 21st technology platforms. This course will develop the student’s depth and breadth of communication abilities, critical thinking, and problem solving skills. It’s specifically designed to give students a competitive edge in both post secondary education and career pursuits. This course emphasizes diversity and innovation through gathering, synthesizing, questioning, and forming articulate data-driven opinions. This is a Concentration course for the Business Management Pathway. This course can be articulated with the Moreno Valley College courses BUS-22 and BUS-47.
RCOE Business Ethics in Marketing will provide students with an understanding of ethical practices within a business setting via Common Core based learning and assessments. Students will engage the course content by utilizing critical thinking and analysis to critique marketing principles, organizational approaches, and leadership methodology. Students will apply new knowledge and mastery to historical business scenarios and propose solutions to unethical behavior. While emphasizing marketing and business theory, this course will reinforce academic foundational skills in English, economics, and social sciences.
This is a Concentration course for the Business Management Pathway.
RCOE Personal Finance Fundamentals are designed to help students make informed real-world decisions about financial issues. This course will focus on personal financial planning skills that can be used for a lifetime. Major topics include career planning, financing a career, banking, and money management, the use of credit, the time value of money, saving and investing, retirement planning, being a smart consumer, buying a home, buying a car, insurance, taxes, and estate planning basics. Students will analyze their personal financial decisions, evaluate the costs and benefits of their decision, recognize their rights and responsibilities as consumers, apply the knowledge learned to financial situations encountered later in life, and make wise financial decisions. This is a Concentration course for the Financial Services Pathway.
The above courses have been approved by the Director of Curriculum and Instruction and the Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services.
