***Choose three courses from at least two disciplines.
This course sequencing aligns with students starting in the Fall semester. Students starting the Winter semester should switch the order in which they take CPS 272 and CPS 276.

more »What Students Say About Online Classes
“I was very reluctant to take online classes, but because of my various roles as a wife, mother, full-time employee, and student my time was limited…. Online classes have helped with managing my time in these various roles, and have been a true blessing to both my family and my learning experience at WCC.”
