What Classes To Take

Most students select courses based on their interests, educational, or career goals. You are encouraged to:

  • Read course descriptions included in the class schedule to get a good idea about the content of the class. Doing so, can help you determine whether you will enjoy the topic being taught.
  • Often, students use the General Education & Transfer Patterns course list as a guide, especially if earning an associates degree or planning to transfer to a four-year institution are part of your educational goals.
  • Counselors can also review your guided self placement, high school and college records, as a means to help identify some courses that would be beneficial for you to enroll in during your first semester of attendance. Students are encouraged to consider their unit load. 
  • We also recommend PSCN support courses taught by our counselors.
