Courses are arranged alphabetically by course code category. All courses carry a lab, materials, or participation fee. Please refer to the course schedule each semester for fee listings. Not all courses are offered every semester or every year.
A prerequisite course is a course that is required prior to taking an advanced course. Courses requiring a prerequisite have those prerequisites listed below their course descriptions in the course description guide in this catalog. Students may bypass some prerequisites through placement testing, ACT and SAT scores, Advanced Placement credits, and proficiency examinations.
A co-requisite course is a course that is required to be taken at the same time as another course. The courses designated as co-requisite courses have skills or outcomes that are designed to support and enhance the learning within each other. In order for those courses to be successful, they should be taken at the same time, in the same semester.
