Course Descriptions


How to Read the Course Listings

The following listing is a basic description of courses currently offered by the college; courses that are not listed also may be offered. Courses are listed alphabetically by department and numerically within the department. The numerical course index may be of additional assistance in finding a particular course description (in the back of this catalog). Descriptions are general in nature and are not intended to include all topics which may be part of the course and, in some cases, items in the descriptions may be omitted from the course. Flexibility, modifications, augmentations and deletions are necessary to meet changing conditions and circumstances.
