COURSES Courses 106 Course offerings are subject to change. The courses in this section are grouped by subjects that are listed alphabetically. Within each subject group, the courses are listed in numerical order, the lowest first and the highest last. Courses with numbers 099 and below are non-credit courses. Courses with numbers in the 100-199 range are considered first-year courses. Courses numbered 200 or higher are considered second-year courses. The semester in which a course is generally offered is indicated by the codes: Fa = Fall, O = Occasional, Sp = Spring, and Su = Summer. Students and their advisors may use these designations in determining course selection for any particular semester. ELECTIVES - Within an academic program, courses are either required or elective. Elective courses fall into broad subject areas of study in the liberal arts and sciences. These broad subject areas are the humanities, the natural sciences and the social sciences. Courses may also be business electives or may be undesignated. GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS - In addition, all programs have specific general education requirements. General education requirements assure that students have exposure to a range of courses in specific areas of the curriculum. The general education requirements are grouped into six modes. The general education modes and courses can be found in the catalog on pages 29-30. COMMON COURSE NUMBERING - The community colleges of Connecticut are in the process of coordinating courses on all campuses so that courses have the same numbering system at all colleges. As this process is undertaken, courses will be changing their designations and numbers until all courses can be aligned. For the most updated information on common course numbering, students are encouraged to speak with program coordinators and the Registrar’s Office. Some courses listed below have already undergone this process and others will change during the 2005-2006 academic year. When choosing courses, it is important to choose the type of elective or general education mode specified within your program of study. Students should seek the advice of a academic counselor or faculty member when choosing courses. A complete list of the courses being offered is published each semester in the class schedule which is available in the Registrar’s Office. A list of current Continuing Education courses is available in the Continuing Education Office. Course offerings are subject to change.
