2024-2025 College Catalog
Effective fall Semester 2003, several academic policy changes were implemented to ensure that students are adequately prepared to meet business and industry standards. All Undeclared or newly Declared Students enrolled in regularly scheduled postsecondary courses must be enrolled in or have completed EN110 Freshman Composition general education requirement by the time they have enrolled in 12 credits of classes. They must also enroll in or have completed MA110A Finite Mathematics (or higher) general education requirement by the time they have enrolled in 15 credits. This means that students may take only nine to eleven (9-11) credits before they must begin meeting the general education requirements. All declared students in the Bachelor’s Degree program are required to successfully complete minimum standardized general education course requirements. For more information, refer to the Admissions Information and General Education Policy section of this catalog.
All candidates for a Bachelor’s Degree at the College must meet the general requirements listed above. Course requirements may identify Prerequisite that must be completed with a passing grade. Prerequisite course credit is not counted as credit earned towards the program unless it is a Bachelor’s Degree core course requirement.
