Courses
On the following pages are course descriptions for credit courses offered by MCC. Each course can be identified by a lettered subject and a course number followed by the title and a series of numbers. Those courses with a zero as the first digit of the course number are designated as developmental and may not be used to fulfill degree requirements.

Prerequisites – A prerequisite—or its equivalent—must be met before a student can register for a course. A prerequisite may be a specific high school course, another MCC course, a demonstrated proficiency, or acceptance into a certain program. Students must meet the prerequisite in effect for the quarter in which they are taking the course. Prerequisites may be waived on the basis of proficiency testing and/or the recommendation of an appropriate faculty member or academic dean.
Co-requisites – Co-requisites are required program courses that must be taken simultaneously; a grouping of courses that must all be taken within the same quarter. In some cases, previous completion of the required course is acceptable.
Hybrid courses – A hybrid course combines classroom learning with a significant online component.
