Program of Instruction

The Community College operates as a separate and distinct academic unit of the University with its own administrative structure. A selected block of coursework separate from the University course schedule will be offered.

Coursework will be limited to classes included in the Community College curriculum and to entry-level courses required for completion of the appropriate associate degree. Courses which would afford a student a career education and/or a vocational/technical orientation are integral to the Community College experience.

• Freshman Admission
• Transfer Admission

Note: The seven-hour block will be offered during both evening and daytime hours to accommodate the needs of nontraditional students, many of whom are expected to enroll in the Community College. The block will offer an active, process-oriented approach to learning and will provide real-life, vocation-based classroom experiences.
