DESCRIPTIONS OF CURRICULUM COURSES

All curriculum courses offered by Bladen Community College shall come from the System's Common Course Library. They are identified with a three-letter prefix and three-digit number. Specifically, the numbering system is as follows:

(A) The numbers 050-099 shall be assigned to developmental courses.

(B) The numbers 100-199 and 200-299 shall be assigned to courses approved only at the certificate and diploma levels. These 
     courses shall not be included in associate degree programs.

     also be included in certificate and diploma programs.

To the right of each course number and title appears a group of numbers such as 3 2 0 4. The "3" indicates the number of lecture or class hours this course meets per week. The "2" indicates the number of laboratory hours this course meets per week. The "0" indicates the number of clinical hours this course meets per week. The "4" indicates the number of academic credits or semester hour credits (SHC) granted for the course.

Those courses with prerequisite requirements cannot be taken until these requirements are satisfactorily fulfilled.
