Course Descriptions

The course numbering system has two parts that identify both the discipline and the level of difficulty of the course.

For example: XXX – 000

XXX are the letters of the course specialty such as CAP for office Computer Applications, MED for medical science, CST for computer systems, etc. 000 are the numbers of the course -- courses beginning with the digit "0" are foundational courses. These are 0-credit courses and do not count towards the credit requirement for a degree. Courses beginning with the digit "1" are credit courses at the introductory level, and courses beginning with the digit "2", "3", and "4" are advanced level courses.

The following codes found at the end of course descriptions denote the perspectives, competencies and requirements the course fulfills:

CS  - Communications Systems perspective;  C – Cultural perspective: A  - Analytic perspective; S – Social Sciences perspective; G - Global perspective; mc – multicultural competency; e/p -  ethical/philosophical competency; aw – advanced writing competency; comm – communications requirement; comp – writing course requirement; cl – computer literacy requirement; r – research paper requirement, w – global perspective world requirement; us – global perspective United States requirement.

The symbols F, Sp, and Su (Fall, Spring and Summer) indicate which semester courses will be offered.

The * indicates the course is offered every odd year. The ** indicates the course is offered every even year.

Courses are offered in three modalities. Almost all are offered as traditional residential courses. Many are also offered online or in a hybrid or blended format.
