MCCCD Additional Requirements: Credits: 0-6
Students must satisfy Oral Communication and Critical Reading
areas. However, it is not necessary for students to exceed the thirtyfive
semester credits required in order to complete the MCCCD
Additional Requirements because courses can satisfy a Core Area
and MCCCD Additional Requirements simultaneously. Therefore no
additional semester credits are required to satisfy Oral Communication
and Critical Reading.
a. Oral Communication: Credits: 3
A total of three (3) semester credits is required for Oral
Communication. However, if students select a
communication course that satisfies both the Oral
Communication area and an area within the Core, then
the Oral Communication requirement has been satisfied
and additional electives may be taken.

COM100 [SB] (3 credits) OR
COM100AA and COM100AB and COM100AC [SB] (3

A total of three (3) semester credits is required for the
Critical Reading area. However, if students complete CRE
