and 061, are for students who have not completed high school. These classes help students
prepare to pass the GED test. Completion of the five-part GED test earns a GED certificate
accepted as equivalent to a high school diploma by most schools, colleges and employers. The
GED test preparation courses are for residents and non-residents; program tuition is $25.00.
Students must attend a GED orientation session to take placement tests before registering for GED

ESL 010 through ESL 079 are offered to help Non-English speaking persons learn the basics of
reading, writing, and speaking English. (They are referred to as ABE/ESL classes.) Citizenship

PROGRAM/SERVICE DESCRIPTION
Integrated Studies is an interdisciplinary studies program, which encompasses both linked and
coordinated studies classes. Serving approximately 200 students per quarter, this program is a
requirement for all students receiving an AA degree. Four to five coordinated studies courses taught by
interdisciplinary faculty teams are offered fall through spring quarters with the student seminar being the
“heart” of the course. The student seminar is a small inquiry group and uses different texts from different
disciplines. The seminar method helps students develop the important academic skills of critical reading,
writing, and thinking regarding the complex and inter-related aspect of knowledge.
Linked classes are different from coordinated studies in that they are separate classes “linked” by the
instructors with common and inter-related assignments.
For more information about the integrated studies program, please refer to:

Please forward all calls to the Math, Science & Social Sciences Division at 527-3746. Most
callers know what they want and do not need our programs explained to them, as they are academic
rather than vocational. The only variance to this is when they call MS3 for “computer classes” and
they really want the Business, Electronics Division at 527-3730, or “health/medical classes” for
nursing program and really want the Health & Medical Division at 527-3790.

while at this institution and must not harass members of this institution’s community.

Submission to such conduct is either a stated or implied term or condition of
employment, or status in a course, or institutional program or activity;

environment.
