General Education Credit Courses

Credit courses are designated as either associate degree credit courses or non-degree credit courses. Associate degree credit courses may be used as required or elective courses in a degree or certificate program. Students must complete the course requirements as specified in their program of study for their declared major as well as general education courses to earn an Associate's Degree. See Catalogs and Schedules for a complete listing of General Education courses.

Pre-Collegiate Courses

Pre-collegiate courses are designed to prepare students for college-level work. Students may be required to enroll in specific basic skills courses if the assessment process indicates they will benefit from this special preparation for college-level courses.
