Courses

Course Numbers

Courses numbered 01-09 are courses for developmental preparatory studies. The credits earned in these courses are not applicable toward any programs at the College.

Courses numbered 100-199 are freshman-level; courses numbered 200-299 are sophomore-level and all are applicable towards an associate degree, diploma, or certificate program.

Course Credits

The credit for each course is indicated after the title in the course description. One credit is equivalent to one collegiate semester credit hour.

Course Hours

The number of lecture hours in class each week (including lecture, seminar, and discussion hours) and/or the number of laboratory hours in class each week (including laboratory, shop, supervised practice, and cooperative work experiences) are indicated for each course in the description. The number of lecture and laboratory hours in class each week is also called “contact hours” because it is time spent under the direct supervision of a faculty member. In addition to the lecture and laboratory hours in class each week, students must also spend time on out-of-class assignments.

Course Prerequisites

If any prerequisites are established for a course, these prerequisites will be identified in the course description. Courses in special sequences (usually identified by a series of Roman numerals separated by a hyphen ”-” ; e.g. I-II-III) require that courses be taken that order. Prerequisites must be completed before enrolling in any specified course unless special permission is obtained from the instructor or associate vice president. When course numbers or Roman numerals are separated by a comma “,“ the courses can be taken in any order. When co-requisites are required for a course, the co-requisites must be taken at the same time.
