Course Descriptions
Courses* described in this catalog are offered on the main campus, Curry County campus, or outreach areas. Check with an advisor about courses

Lower Division Transfer credits are those that will transfer to four-year schools in the Oregon University System and apply towards a Bachelor’s degree.
Generally, transfer courses will have a departmental prefix and a three-digit number 100 through 299.
Developmental courses are designed to help a student gain skill and knowledge before taking college-level courses. These courses will generally have a
departmental prefix and a two- or four-digit number.
Professional/Technical courses will vary, but will have a departmental prefix and a two-, three-, or four-digit number. Because course numbers vary, students
planning to transfer to four-year institutions should follow the course selections shown under the Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer (AA/OT) requirements, and
consult with their faculty advisor.
