5.0 - 3.0 - 6.0

Key:
course subject (BIOS)
course number (1010)
course title (General Biology)

Requisites for a course are detailed as follows:

  • Prerequisites – A prerequisite - or its equivalent - must be met before a student can register for a course. A prerequisite may be a specific high school course, another MCC course, a demonstrated proficiency, or acceptance into a certain program. Students must meet the prerequisite in effect for the quarter in which they are taking the course. Prerequisites may be waived on the basis of proficiency testing and/or the recommendation of an appropriate faculty member or academic dean.
  • Corequisites – Corequisites are required program courses that must be taken simultaneously, a grouping of courses that must all be taken within the same quarter. In some cases, previous completion of the required course is acceptable.
  • Recommended - Certain courses, proficiencies, or conditions may be recommended for the student prior to or at the same time as the course. While these recommendations are suggested for student success in the course, they are not required.

Hybrid courses – A hybrid course is a coordinated approach to learning, using both online technology and classroom interaction with faculty and peers. MCC hybrid courses meet face-to-face 50 percent of the traditional quarter’s campus meetings; the other 50 percent of campus meeting time is replaced with online study and learning activities.
