Shoreline Community College offers a full range of courses to meet students' needs, including developmental studies, professional-technical preparation, lower-division transfer, and enrichment. These courses are described in the following section, listed in order by course number. The total credit hours for each course are listed in parentheses after the course title.

Many course descriptions include essential information such as prerequisites, grading options, and entry requirements. When choosing your courses, be sure to consider this information; it is provided to help you succeed.

The college constantly revises and updates its curriculum and may add new courses or make changes in existing course requirements during the span of this catalog. Please refer to the Quarterly Class Schedule, in print or online, for the most up-to-date course information.

Diversity Transfer Program

An exciting new program has been designed to assist diverse students in meeting their educational goals and to successfully transfer to four-year colleges and universities. The name of this new endeavor is the Diversity Transfer Program and it¹s being kicked off during Fall Quarter 2003.

Interdisciplinary Studies Programs

Connections, discovery, cross-pollination of ideas - that's what takes place in an Interdisciplinary Studies Program. These programs are simply "packaged" courses that either combine or link together two or more classes around an issue in society or a common theme. By integrating the two subjects this way, the Interdisciplinary Studies Program can lead students to a deeper understanding of each subject. They can enhance a student's skills in problem-solving - an essential ability for the 21st-century work force.

W (Writing) Courses

In certain courses, writing in a specific discipline will be emphasized along with the subject matter associated with the title. A "W" after the course number means that writing is an integral part of the course. Writing instruction and feedback are provided. Writing grades enter into the determination of the grade for the course. ASSET placement at the English 101 level or completion of necessary developmental English or ESL courses in preparation for English 101 is required for registration in a "W" course. The Quarterly Class Schedule identifies the "W" courses offered.
