Catalog 2017-2018 [ARCHIVED CATALOG]

Courses

The courses listed in this Catalog are all the courses that CCV has approved for the 2017-18 academic year. Though approved, some of these courses may not be offered during the ‘17-‘18 academic year. Several months before the start of each semester, CCV publishes a Schedule that indicates what courses are available in particular locations and the exact times and dates for that semester.

NOTE ON PREREQUISITES: Because basic academic skills (reading, writing, math) are prerequisites for CCV college-level courses, they are not always listed in each course’s description.

Mathematics
  

  • MAT 1030 - Applied Math Concepts

    Credits: 3

    This course develops students’ ability to think quantitatively and use mathematics as a problem-solving tool in their professional and personal lives. Mathematical applications are selected from a range of business, human services, health, and political topics. Concepts include set theory, visual representation of data, operations in the real number system, geometry, linear and nonlinear equations, linear systems, personal finance, probability, and statistics. Students must take a math assessment for placement purposes prior to registration.
