Program Requirements
Annual Course Sequence
The first four quarters listed below are offered on a four quarter rotation and are not sequential; a student may start any quarter. The final quarter is taken when all other courses have been completed.
General Education Requirements - 20 Credits
Diversity and Social Justice Requirement
Within the degree requirements, students must complete a 3-5 credit course that meets the college’s Diversity and Social Justice (DSJ) requirement. DSJ courses are designated in the college schedule and are designed to meet other general education or technical requirements simultaneous to meeting the DSJ requirement (e.g., ENGL& 101 with the DSJ attribute meets both the ENGL& 101 requirement and the DSJ requirement).
Note: Not all sections of a course meet the DSJ requirement. Students should review the class information to ensure the class section includes “course attributes: meets diversity requirement.”
Visit the DSJ requirement webpage to view the current list of general education and technical courses that meet the requirement.
Students who have taken a DSJ class in a previous certificate or degree, do not have to take another DSJ class.
