Course Information

This section describes credit courses offered by MCC. Courses are grouped by subject areas and programs. The programs and areas are in alphabetical order.

Each course title begins with a three-letter subject area (sometimes called "prefix") and the course number (e.g., ENG 121). The information in parentheses specifies credit hours earned for the course. The course description briefly explains course content. 

Some courses have prerequisites or co-requisites. A prerequisite must be taken before entering a course. A co-requisite must be taken prior to, or concurrently with, a course. 

"Hours" indicate the total number of class contact hours during the term. 

Some courses require a special laboratory fee. 

Only courses numbered 100 or above may be used to fulfill certificate or degree requirements.

Note: Not all courses are offered each term at every site. Please refer to the current Class Schedule at: www.MorganCC.edu

Also Note: MCC also offers some courses exclusively through CCCOnline. If the course description is not listed for a CCCOnline course, you can find it at www.CCCOnline.org.

For a list of suggested courses in specific programs of study, refer to the appropriate program in DEGREES & CERTIFICATE REQUIREMENTS

COURSE NUMBERING SYSTEM

 Courses are numbered to indicate level of instruction. Freshman level courses are designated in the 100 sequence and sophomore level courses are designated in the 200 sequence. Courses numbered less than 100 are considered developmental and do not apply to certificate and degree requirements.

 CREDIT HOURS

 Listed in parentheses are the credit hours and the total number of contact hours per week, by activity, that the student attends the class assuming a 15-week semester. For instance, a 4-credit hour course that is listed for 45 lecture and 30 lab means there are 45 hours of lecture plus 30 hours of lab during a 15-week semester or an average of 5 hours contact hours per week. In this example, a student attends a total of 75 contact hours. The 75 hours can be adjusted to any length term.

 COURSE PREREQUISITES

A prerequisite is an enforceable entry requirement for a particular course. The student must satisfy prerequisites, or their equivalent, PRIOR to registering for a course. A course prerequisite requires a "C" grade or better.

 COURSE CO-REQUISITES

A co-requisite is an enforceable entry requirement for a particular course. A co-requisite course must be taken prior to, or concurrently with, a course.

 INTERNSHIP, CLINICAL, PRACTICUM, SERVICE LEARNING, and COOPERATIVE EDUCATION WORK EXPERIENCE COURSES

These courses are supervised cooperative education arrangements between the College and an employer. The courses provide the student with work experience that is relevant to his/her Career & Technical Education (CTE) program and personal career interests. The work and study calendar varies by program and may be adjusted as appropriate to individual interests, need, or the availability of work opportunities. The MCC instructor will provide course objectives to the student and his or her supervisor at the job site. Sessions will be held between the student and instructor to review assignments and course objectives. Actual clock hours for these courses are listed individually by course in the Course Descriptions section of the catalog.
