Classification of Courses

The following classification of courses is furnished for clarification to assist students in choosing appropriate courses:

  1. Courses numbered lower than 1000 are designated as learning support courses. These may not be used to satisfy degree or certificate requirements. Enrollment in these courses is limited to students who are placed in them according to the college’s placement procedure.
  2. Courses numbered 1000 – 1999 are freshman level and those numbered 2000 – 2999 are sophomore level. However, students having necessary prerequisites may take any course.

Course Descriptions

Two types of courses are offered: institutional credit non-transfer courses not applicable to a degree or certificate and regular college credit courses.

Regular College Credit Courses

The following abbreviations indicate the term in which the course is offered:

F — Fall

S — Spring

Su — Summer

♦ — Courses which fulfill minimum degree requirements. For more information, see General Education Course Requirements for Associate of Arts, Associate of Fine Arts, Associate of Science and Associate of Applied Science, under » Academic Information .

Cooperative Education

Cooperative Education is the integration of classroom theory with practical work experience. The program requires a student to have specific periods of attendance at the college and specific periods of employment. The employment periods are established by cooperative agreements between the college and business, industry and government agencies. Students are advised to check with the institution to which they plan to attend concerning the transferability of these courses.

Emergency Medical Technician

These courses are designed solely for individuals who desire credentials as Emergency Medical Technicians. Individuals seeking admission should contact the Division of Health and Wellness.

Students will be required to meet all health and safety guidelines of affiliating agencies, including a urine or blood drug screen.

Students will be required to undergo a criminal background check prior to clinical internship. If, as a result of a required criminal background check, a student is prohibited from a clinical affiliate agency, the student may be dismissed from the program.

Upon successful completion of EMT 1010 and 1020, students will be eligible to take the National Registry Exam, which leads to National Registry certification as Emergency Medical Technician–Basic and licensure in Tennessee as Emergency Medical Technician–Intravenous Therapy.

All interested individuals will be assigned class space as available. Students must maintain a current card denoting successful completion of a Professional Rescuer CPR course while in the EMT classes. Students will be required to undergo physical exam/health verification. Students will be required to wear a uniform to class as well as the clinical experience. Students are required to purchase malpractice insurance through the college at the time of registration for the EMT class.
