Courses


The courses listed in this Catalog are all the courses that CCV has approved for the 2021-2022 academic year. Though approved, some of these courses may not be offered during the 2021-2022 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.
