Important Points
  • If a student enters the program requiring both ENG 0410 and ENG 0430, delay the CSC 1310, 1320 and 1330 modules until later in the program, possibly during summer school.
  • CSC 1310-1330 are each 5-week courses that together represent a time commitment of 15 weeks (equivalent to a full-credit hour course)
  • DCT 2220 has a corequisite of MAT 0600.
  • MAT 1220 and MAT 1590 have a prerequisite of MAT 0600 or two years of high school algebra/ geometry or placement exam.
  • Students should discuss selection of mathematics courses with their advisor.
  • Recommended mechanical technology elective is MCT 1380: Introduction to Solid Modeling.
  • First time, full-time students are also required to take INT 1520: Student Success Seminar.
  • Some courses have prerequisites. Students should check course descriptions to be sure course prerequisites have been met.
  • Not all courses are offered on all campuses every semester. The master schedule for each semester lists current offerings. See the Course Descriptions section for frequency of offerings.
  • Physical education is optional but may be required by some transfer colleges.
