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

UD — Upon Demand

♦ — 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 .

 — Not part of the Tennessee Transfer Path.
 

Management
  

  • MGT 2900 - Individualized Studies in Management

    1 - 9 credit(s)

     Independent and individualized studies in management. Students may take more than one independent or individualized study in a given discipline up to a maximum of nine hours. UD

Mathematics

Learning Support mathematics courses MATH 0700 , 0800  and 0850  are taught in a 1+2 format, with students meeting in class one hour each week and working in the Math Lab two hours each week outside of class. These courses require the student to have a graphing calculator. Students should refer to the course syllabus to determine the recommended calculator for these courses.

Prior to enrollment in any college-level math course, if applicable, students must first complete any learning support math requirements indicated by ACT or placement test assessment. (See Admission Requirements .) Two years of high school algebra or the equivalent are required to satisfy graduation requirements for any degree program.

MATH 1130 ,  1530  and 1630   are taught in a 1+2 format, with students meeting in class one hour each week and working in the Math Lab two hours each week outside of class. MATH 1200 , 1710 , 1720  and 1830  are taught in a 2+1 format, with students meeting in class two hours each week and working in the Math Lab two hours each week outside of class. Most courses require the student to have a graphing calculator. Students should refer to the course syllabus to determine the recommended calculator for a particular course.
