• Online: fafsa.ed.gov
Personal Identification Numbers (PIN) must be requested
and received before filing electronically. If the PIN is not
supplied at the time of electronic filing, the information can
be saved while waiting for the PIN or a physical signature
page must be printed, signed and submitted by regular mail.
OR
• Paper: complete a PDF FAFSA (Free Application for
Federal Student Aid). Forms for this option are available
at fafsa.ed.gov.
Previous Financial Aid Recipients
Students will usually receive a Renewal Application by mail sometime before Jan. 1 of each year. Online renewal forms are
available by logging onto the fafsa.ed.gov website using a PIN. To ensure that the FAFSA results are sent to all colleges
desired, the applicant must enter school codes or complete addresses for prospective colleges. The MHCC school code is
003204.
Conditions for Awards
The following three items are the key conditions reviewed when awarding financial aid:
1. The size of the Expected Family Contribution
(EFC). The FAFSA information is used to calculate
this number. This number is used to determine
eligibility for most types of financial aid.
2.The budget of the student while in college
3.Availability of the types of aid
Application Verification
All schools and colleges must verify some of the data of FAFSA applications. Examples of verification materials required are:
Tax transcript from the IRS for some FAFSA submitters, family’s proof of untaxed agency income or benefits (Social Security,
TANF, subsidized housing, etc.).
Students who want to use credits from other colleges to satisfy requirements or prerequisites for requirements for an MHCC
degree will need to submit prior official transcripts to the college’s Admissions Registration and Records Office. At the time
of evaluation, those credits will become part of the total credits used to determine further eligibility for financial aid under the
Quantitative Measures Standards of Progress federal regulations.
Financial Aid Disbursement
After the student is awarded financial aid, it is posted to his or her account and will be used directly to pay tuition and fees.
Any remaining aid will be disbursed by the preference selected when the student activates his or her MHCC Mountain Card.
This refund can be used to buy books, pay for room and board, transportation and miscellaneous supplies and personal
items after the add/drop period.

College Tuition/Fee
The MHCC District Board of Education sets tuition and fee
rates and reserves the right to make changes without notice.
The amount of tuition is determined by residency and by the
number of credit hours. Some classes require an additional
course fee. There may be other types of fees assessed as
well. A full description of tuition and fees are listed on the
Web.
Payment Due Date

college’s Accounts Receivable department by the first day
of the term. Ultimately the student is responsible for payment of all unpaid charges, including late fees and third
party service fees.
Proper course placement is vital to student success. You are
highly encouraged to review the resources available at mhcc.
edu/testing.
Payment Types
To be properly placed into classes, new students must take a
College Placement Test (CPT). This test, which covers reading,
writing and math, helps assess students’ academic readiness
and will help them choose classes that ﬁt their present skill levels.
All payments must be made in U.S. funds. Acceptable payment types include: cash, money order, check, e-check (electronic check), American Express, Discover, MasterCard and
VISA.
Payment for all tuition and fees is due on or before the published due date, usually the first day of the term. All charges
must be paid in full before registering for another term.
Payment Options
The college has five options available for payment. No
other payment arrangements are available.
1. Pay all tuition and fees by the first day of the term
If a student registers after the term begins, payment is due
the day of registration. This includes classes added from
wait lists.
2. Student Installment Payment Note
Eligible students may enroll in a deferred payment plan.
After a down payment, students may defer paying the balance of their charges in installments. Eligibility, due dates
and instructions are available at mhcc.edu/pmtplans/.
3. Veterans Deferral Note
Students with a VA certificate of eligibility (COE) or Tuition
Assistance (TA) or in the process of obtaining a COE or
TA may use a veteran deferral note. Qualified students
must contact the Veteran Services Office located in Room
AC1152 for further information or to complete this form.
4. Financial Aid/Scholarship
If financial aid is not available by the first day of the term or
does not completely cover tuition, select option 1 or 2 in the
preceding text. If a balance remains on a student account
past the due date, the account is subject to late fees and
collection costs.
5. Agency or Company
Arrangements for payment by an agency or company must
be pre-approved by the college. The student is responsible
for ensuring that a payment authorization is on file in the
MHCC.EDU
BECOMING A STUDENT AT MHCC
For payments by check or money order other than tuition,
services will not be provided until two weeks after the payment date. To avoid the two-week delay, the student may
pay by cash or credit/bank card. For payments made by
credit/bank card, provision for requested services will be
processed as soon as bank authorization is received.

Associate of Science Degree (AS)
All courses in an AS degree are transfer-level courses and will be evaluated course-by-course at the receiving institution toward satisfying
major, general education or elective degree requirements. Note, this degree does not guarantee that lower division general education
will be fully satisfied upon transfer. This degree articulates well with certain majors such as engineering, biological and physical sciences, and the fine and performing arts that require highly specific lower-division major requirements. There are fewer general education
course requirements in the AS degree than in the AAOT degree, allowing students to complete a greater number of major requirements.

Associate of General Studies Degree (AGS)
The purpose of the degree in general studies is to provide the student an opportunity to pursue a broad general education
at a community college. It is intended as a flexible program for the student who is not preparing for a specific major in the
lower division transfer or career-technical area. Because of the flexibility and broad approach of this degree, a student may
find that courses used to fulfill the requirements may not necessarily be accepted as transfer level at a four-year institution.

Oregon Transfer Module (OTM)
The OTM is a set of 45 general education credits recognized by all Oregon community colleges and Oregon University System
(OUS) schools, designed for students who wish to transfer. Completion of the OTM can help those students taking courses at multiple
post-secondary institutions by ensuring transferability of coursework. This is not a degree or certificate but is documentation on a
student’s transcript that they have met a subset of common general education requirements. Note: The OTM is not intended to be
a first year of the AAOT degree.

Science or Science/Mathematics/Computer Science).
Complete a minimum of 45 credits. All courses must be completed with a grade of "C" or better. Students must have a minimum cumulative GPA
of 2.0 at the time the module is completed. Regionally accredited private colleges and universities within the state may offer and issue the Oregon
Transfer Module, which will be accepted at any Oregon public college or university. Oregon Transfer Module credits may not match program
requirements in the receiving school. The OTM supplements, but does not supplant existing articulation agreements and does not replace effective
advising. Courses that are designed to prepare students for college-level work are not applicable to the transfer module. In Humanities (Arts and
Letters), the second year of a foreign language may be included, but not the first year. American Sign Language (ASL) is considered a foreign
language. When choosing courses in science and mathematics, students and advisers should check the specific requirements of receiving schools.
Courses that include a laboratory component, or that deal with specific subjects, may be required for majors or degrees. Computer science courses
used in the Math/Science/Computer Science area must meet Oregon Council of Computer Chairs criteria for a science course.

Certificate Requirements
The one-year certificate will be awarded to students who
satisfy the following requirements:
1. Successfully complete all required courses in a one-year
certificate program as listed in the catalog.
Courses counting toward degree requirements must be
taken sequentially if the course is a prerequisite for another
course. For example, MTH095 may not count toward a degree requirement if taken after MTH111, because MTH095
is a prerequisite for MTH111. However, if a course is not a
prerequisite for another course, the courses may be taken
in any order. For example, HST110 may count toward a
degree requirement if taken after HST111, since HST110
is not a prerequisite to HST111.
2. All programs of study of one academic year or more in
length for which certificates are granted require a recognizable body of instruction in program-related areas of
1) communication, 2) computation (mathematics) and 3)
human relations. Please refer to the individual program
for specific courses.
Repeated courses may be counted only once toward
graduation unless specified in the course description or
unless specifically required in a program curriculum.
Students who are pursuing an MHCC certificate at MHCC
who have earned a baccalaureate degree or higher from
an accredited institution of higher education will have satisfied the general education requirements for the certificate.

3. Achieve an MHCC cumulative grade point average GPA
of 2.00 or higher.
5. Satisfactorily earn 24 credit hours at MHCC and be in
attendance at MHCC the term in which the certificate is
completed. Non-traditional credit (College Level Examination Program, Advanced Placement Program, Challenge,
Experience-Based Credit, International Baccalaureate) does
not satisfy this requirement.
6. Complete the application process two quarters prior to
the quarter of completion (i.e., spring term graduates must
apply during fall term).

Veterans Services
503-491-7346; Room AC1152
mhcc.edu/veterans; [email protected]
MHCC is approved as a veterans training institution by the Veterans Administration. The Veteran Services Office, located in Room
AC1152 on the main mall level of the Gresham Campus, provides a one stop, centrally located office to assist students with
veteran related issues.
This office handles all Veteran Affairs (VA) educational paperwork and certification for education benefits through the VA. We
can also provide you referral to federal, state and local resources
and services supporting veterans and their families.
By federal law this office must audit all transcripts and schedules for
students receiving education benefits to ensure course applicability
and satisfactory academic progression. Any class or grade that
does not apply to the degree/certificate declared on a student’s
VA file cannot be certified for veterans educational benefits.
Classes are certified to the VA for the actual date span and credit
count of the individual classes regardless of term dates. All educational benefit payments from the VA will be based on this information. Please contact this office for further information.
VETERANS MUST NOTIFY THIS OFFICE TO HAVE THEIR
CLASSES CERTIFIED FOR BENEFITS. Qualified students must
inform this office of any and all enrollment changes (drops, adds,
etc.) in addition to processing through the Registration Office.
Failure to do so may result in either an overpayment or underpayment of benefits. All enrollment information and required paperwork must be brought to the Veteran Services Office in person
before a certification can be made. Students are responsible for
providing this information every term.
Standards of Academic Progress for VA students: Students collecting VA benefits, regardless of class load, must maintain a 2.00
session GPA, and are subject to the same standards of academic
progress used by the college for all students. EXCEPTION: All “W,”
“U,” “I,” “K” and unearned “F” grades will be reported to the VA
and may result in an overpayment.
CH33 Post 9/11 only – Financial Aid funds pay your tuition and
fees until the VA pays them. Tuition and fees are not reported to
the VA until after the drop/add period to avoid overpayments
and underpayments. If you drop a class after the drop date you
will be responsible to repay the VA for any overpayments in tuition, fees, book monies and BAH.
Veterans Deferred Payment Plan: A deferral plan for VA eligible
students is available through the Veteran Services Office. This
form must be completed every term to receive the deferral.

In this program, each term provides additional skills that will prepare students for entry-level positions. Skills from data entry, use
of basic accounting systems, business terminology, payroll processing, technology and spreadsheets are just a few that prepare
students for jobs. The longer students stay in the program, the
more qualified they become to assume additional job responsibilities and be rewarded for performing even more challenging
job responsibilities. Many students start the Accounting Clerk program and then decide they want to expand their knowledge and
skills. The exciting potential of this program is that students can
begin with an Accounting Clerk program that transfers into the
two-year Business Management: Accounting AAS degree. There
are transfer opportunities to four-year universities such as Eastern
Oregon and Oregon Institute of Technology. Students wanting to
pursue both two-year and four-year degrees should speak with
a faculty adviser.
A career in accounting provides a great opportunity for people
with above-average mathematical and analytical skills, who
have good communication skills and want to work in a business
environment. Employment opportunities exist and our program at
MHCC provides students a competitive edge in this field.
Program Outcomes
At the completion of this program, students should be able to:
• Demonstrate skills in basic data entry and database
management

The Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management program
will prepare students for self-employment and careers in small
businesses including nonprofit organizations. The program includes instruction and training in evaluating small business ideas
and opportunities, developing skills and understanding the resources necessary to start a business.
Anyone can start a business. The problem, however, is that many
people don’t know what’s involved, don’t know the risks and
don’t have the skills to start and successfully operate a business or
work for an existing business. At the completion of this program,
students will have a degree and newly-developed skills to feel
confident to start and successfully run a small business.
This program is directly focused on the practical, hands-on aspects of small businesses. Success starts here at MHCC.
Program Outcomes
At the completion of this program, students should be able to:
• Construct a feasibility study
• Prepare a comprehensive business plan
• Demonstrate working knowledge of a balance sheet,

The Networking and CyberSecurity program will both introduce
new students and develop existing professionals to the rapidly
expanding and important world of CyberSecurity (also known as
’Information Assurance’ or ’Trustworthy Computing’). The design
of this program will prepare students to sit for several progressively challenging industry recognized certifications. Students will
be exposed to solid hardware and software repair, network development and implementation, various security techniques, perimeter defense, cryptography, business continuity and disaster
recovery, and ethical hacking. Students in this program will have
opportunity to participate in team competitions against colleges
nationwide.
This program is designed to train students for and guide them
toward a number of industry recognized certifications such as
CCNA, CompTIA, EC-Council and others. This design allows
students with no training to work toward recognized skill sets,
and will support encumbered and displaced computer technical
workers to attain security skills appropriate to enhance their career options.
Career opportunities for CyberSecurity professionals are varied
and immediate. The National Initiative for CyberSecurity Education (NICE) has identified dozens of job titles which require
security skills (see csrc.nist.gov/nice/framework/). Additionally,
projections are that by the end of the decade, all or nearly all
intermediate level computer technical, developmental or implementation careers will require some level of security training.
Recommended program prerequisites are: CIS100 Careers in
Computers, CIS120 Computer Concepts I, CIS120L Computer
Concepts I Lab, or equivalent skill.

dental hygienist begin with a strong belief in the importance of
good oral health and include an aptitude for the biological sciences. Of prime importance are manual dexterity, high ethical
standards, a genuine interest in science and an ability to work
with people.
Note: Prior to entry into the Dental Hygiene program, students
must satisfactorily complete CH104, CH105 and CH106; BI121,
BI122 and BI234; and WR121 or the equivalent. CH104 and
BI121 must be completed prior to the application deadline. During
the program, students must maintain a “C” grade or better in all
courses to progress toward graduation and professional licensure.
Although BI121 and BI122 is the anatomy and physiology sequence currently required, students are encouraged to enroll in
BI231, BI232 and BI233. This more advanced series fulfills the
anatomy and physiology requirement and may transfer more readily for advanced degrees. (The next application period is for 201415 entry and program application prerequisites and requirements
may change; please check the application website at mhcc.edu/
LRAdmissions for the most current information.)
All classes outside the core curriculum (those not preceded by DH)
except general pathology may be taken prior to admission to the
Dental Hygiene program.
Four credits of a mathematics course with a grade of "C" or higher (MTH065 or higher) must be transcripted before graduation.
Please see page 20 for more details about the general education
requirements of the Associate of Applied Science degree. To receive additional points on your application, a 100-level or higher
mathematics course must be completed (excluding MTH211).

Minimum Proficiencies
Students must demonstrate minimum proficiencies defined by college and/or industry standards, whichever is most applicable,
beneficial to the student and academically sound. Industry standards are understood through consultation with employers, market information, career-technical advisory committee members
and other data sources. Division deans have final authority over
setting minimum proficiencies.
Students must meet college proficiency and prerequisite requirements for all courses included in the approved plan.
Occupational proficiency is defined specific to chosen occupations and industry standards.
Planning a Curriculum - Creating a Certificate
Before beginning a curriculum, students are required to have a
pre-approved plan in place.
An interview with an adviser or a faculty member with the careertechnical department is required to determine the student’s career
goals as they relate to employability and program content. All
MHCC college-level courses are eligible to be included in the
certificate. Developmental or basic education courses may not
be included as part of the certificate.
The curriculum plan is initiated when the student meets with an adviser and completes the Individual Student Plan form. The adviser
then meets with the applicable division dean to review the plan.
Minimum proficiencies and plan contents are reviewed, amended and approved by the division dean. A copy of the approved
plan is provided to the student, the adviser and the Admissions,
Registration and Records office.
Students must have an approved EST Individual Student Plan on
file with the Admissions, Registration and Records office by the
beginning of their final term and this will serve as the petition for
certificate completion. It is the responsibility of the student to petition for the certificate. If the student does not complete the course
of study after one year, the plan will be purged and the student
will need to reinstate another plan.

At the completion of this program, students should be able to:
• Develop and apply a variety of techniques commonly
used to evaluate and manage fisheries in the Pacific
Northwest
• Develop and apply basic fish husbandry principles
employed in Pacific Northwest fish culture facilities to
successfully raise a variety of aquatic species
• Design, conduct and present (written and oral) a fisheriesrelated research project
• Apply a variety of building and equipment maintenance
techniques commonly employed at fish culture facilities
• Demonstrate and apply basic biological principles to the
study of fish
• Demonstrate and apply basic statistical processes to the
analysis of fisheries data
• Discuss current issues impacting the field of natural
resources
• Conduct and record a stream survey in accordance with a
standardized procedure
Chest waders and rain gear are required and must be purchased
by the student. Students completing the program will usually assist in propagation and rearing of game and food fish. Because
of the rigorous activity demanded by the work, good physical
condition is a necessity.

that a high school diploma or the equivalent be on file before
the student can be admitted to the Funeral Service Education
program. Fifteen college-level credits may be substituted for this
requirement.
Criteria for selecting students give priority to those applicants who
have apprentice experience. Somewhat less priority is given to
those with related work experience. Other criteria give priority
to applicants from Oregon, then slightly less priority for Washington, Idaho and Montana applicants. All other states are treated
equally. Students from California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada and
Washington automatically pay in-state tuition.

Now, more than ever, great design allows information to stand
out in the avalanche of visual messages that surround us. Every
successful business uses the services of graphic designers to
promote, brand and inform in today’s highly competitive global
economy. Integrated Media’s Graphic Design program provides students with in-depth understanding of design and composition, illustration, typography, Web design, new media and
advertising. Integrated Media’s outstanding facilities include
Mac-equipped computer labs with the latest Adobe Creative
Suite software and color printers, allowing students to develop
professional quality portfolios.
The graphic design curriculum places an equal focus on printed
and screen-based solutions. Our instruction incorporates the
newest and most sophisticated tools to develop skills in motion
graphics, digital photography and illustration techniques. Projects include type and editorial design, branding, packaging,
multimedia presentations and website design. Students create
several portfolios of their original design work: a traditional
print portfolio, a Web-based portfolio and a PDF to send clients
and prospective employers.
Graduates of this program can continue on to a four-year college to secure a bachelor’s degree or will be qualified to work
as Web designers, publication designers, graphic design assistants, marketing and promotions assistants.
This two-year course of study in Integrated Media: Graphic Design is designed to meet transfer requirements for the Communication Design BFA program at the Pacific Northwest College of
Art through a formal agreement with PNCA. Interested students
should contact the Integrated Media: Graphic Design program
adviser, Chris Maier, for additional information.

In the past decade the line between commercial and art photography has all but disappeared. A highly personalized look
can open doors to a diverse range of career opportunities. The
Integrated Media: Photography program balances personal
artistic development with an intensive focus on technical skills
and building commercially-viable sensibilities. Students explore
contemporary photographic applications of digital technology:
composition, portraiture, digital workflow and media management, studio and location lighting, applications of DSLR video
and freelance business practices. Students will also receive a
strong foundation in digital photo enhancement and manipulation techniques. Working in creative design teams, students
create both print and Web-based projects in a real-world environment. Each student is responsible for creating a traditional
printed portfolio and a Web-based portfolio upon completion
of the program.
The photography facilities include fully equipped studios for
portraiture, product and fashion photography. Students have
access to a wide variety of professional equipment: specialized
cameras, camera lenses, strobe and constant lighting equipment as well as a Mac computer lab equipped with current
photo software.
Graduates of the associate degree program are prepared
to seek entry-level jobs such as photography assistant, studio
manager, freelance photographer, photo editor, digital imaging specialist and Photoshop operator. While attending school,
many of our students also secure valuable internships with professional photographers and studios in the area as part of their
credited coursework.

students will be accepted in the spring. This is a limited-entry program. Students must apply and be accepted into the program to
have their major changed to one of the Integrated Metals: Welding program options.
Students completing the one-year certificate will have completed
nearly one-half of the degree requirements for the Integrated
Metals AAS (Associate of Applied Science) degree.
Program Outcomes
At the completion of this program, students should be able to:
• Demonstrate safety procedures and safety inspections for
welding processes and related equipment
• Identify welding equipment and accessories and explain
power source principles of operation
• Read, interpret and apply blueprints for the production
and inspection of manufactured work pieces
• List and perform set-up, adjustments and operations of
welding and cutting equipment in preparing and the
completion of welding practice plates
• Describe and perform welding processes as they relate to
the welding of ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Identify various electrodes, filler wires, shielding gasses
and current types, and their relationship to base-metal
varieties
• Describe and apply the variables and techniques used to
weld carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminum to print
specifications with regard to joint types, weld types and
positions of welding
• Visually examine welds for discontinuities, defects, correct
weld size and placement, and provide solutions for
welding procedure errors
• Produce acceptable test plate weldments according to
American Welding Society (AWS) Standards
What are the employment opportunities?
Students who apply themselves in the program and obtain a
satisfactory level of competence in welding should be able to
secure employment in many areas, including ship repair, metal
fabrication, construction and maintenance welding. Most companies require the prospective employee to pass a welding test
as a condition of employment. This program will assist the student
in preparing for welder qualification testing and provide testing
opportunities for AWS certification in one or more positions and
processes that will provide the skill credential for entry into a position in industry as a certified welder.

CAREER-TECHNICAL
Medical billing specialists are vital for the efficient management
of all aspects of billing. A medical billing specialist’s responsibilities can include expert management of healthcare billing-processing, adjusting and resubmitting of claims; adherence to current
healthcare industry regulations and policies; and compliance
with insurance procedures and allotted benefit coverage. Billing
specialists understand the information on identification cards, distinguish between Medicare and Medicaid and understand Blue
Cross/Blue Shield coverage and workers’ compensation benefits.
A claims analyst uses the same skills as a billing specialist. The
duties of a claims analyst may include overseeing claims processing and payments to third-party providers, monitoring charges
and verifying correct payment of claims, sending denial letters on
claims and sending follow-up requests for information. The claims
analyst reviews payment reports for accuracy and compliance.
Medical billing specialists/claims analysts can work in hospitals,
insurance companies, doctors’ offices, medical billing companies,
nursing homes, medical group practices, home health agencies
and medical clinics.
Students who complete this shorter term Medical Billing/Claims
Analyst program can go to work and return at any time to complete the Medical Office Specialist AAS degree.

Medical Coding is an important healthcare profession and is
one of the few that does not require direct contact with patients.
Coders may specialize by department or by disease depending on the type of employer. Coders will check medical charts
for accuracy and completion, verify signatures, verify medical
data in computers, clarify information or diagnosis by communicating with the provider and assign the appropriate diagnosis
and procedural codes. These codes are used for insurance and
billing purposes.
Students completing this certificate can find employment in hospitals, insurance companies, doctors’ offices, professional coding firms, nursing homes, medical group practices, home health
agencies, medical clinics and temporary agencies.
Students who complete this shorter term Medical Office Coding
program can go to work and return at any time to complete the
Medical Office Specialist AAS degree.

diverse areas as reforestation, mapping, vegetation inventory,
outdoor recreation, timber appraisal, land surveying, harvesting,
stream surveys, wildlife habitat enhancement and wildlife suppression. The Forest Resources option is accredited by the Society
of American Foresters.
Outdoor labs are an integral part of the coursework. Students
learn practical field techniques used while employed in local
forests, parks and natural areas. The courses incorporate technologically advanced equipment and software into the field data
collection and analysis. In addition, each student completes a
cooperative work internship, which gives college credit for onthe-job work experience. Good physical condition and the willingness to work in all kinds of weather are important for those
interested in outdoor field positions.
Program Outcomes
At the completion of this program, students should be able to:
• Perform relevant field tasks required of natural resource
technicians
• Use a broad range of technological tools to research,
document, map, measure, record and analyze data
relevant to natural resources
• Demonstrate a practical understanding of Pacific
Northwest forest ecosystems
• Demonstrate knowledge of social influences on ecosystem
management
• Demonstrate professional skills needed for successful job
performance

Respiratory care is an allied health discipline that uses scientific
principles to carry out physician directed diagnosis and treatment of abnormal respiratory conditions. Respiratory care practitioners work in a variety of settings, including hospitals, medical
clinics, skilled nursing facilities, home care, research, education
and medical equipment sales.
The program combines basic science and modern respiratory
care theory with clinical experience in local medical centers.
Both campus and clinical learning focus on all areas of respiratory care, which includes adult, neonatal and pediatric, general
and intensive care.
The Respiratory Care program prepares the student for both local and national standards. Graduates are eligible to take the
national entry level examination and the national advanced practitioner level examinations administered by the National Board
for Respiratory Care. Passing these examinations serves to fulfill
state licensure testing requirements.
The personal requirements necessary to succeed as a respiratory
care practitioner include a general aptitude for the biological
and physical sciences. The respiratory care practitioner is required to understand the physiology and pathology of circulation
and respiration. Also required is the emotional maturity to deal
with decision making in critical life and death situations.
Program Goal
To prepare graduates with demonstrated competence in the cognitive (knowledge), psychomotor (skills) and affective (behavior)
learning domains of respiratory care practice as performed by
registered respiratory therapists (RRTs).
Accreditation
The Mt. Hood Community College Respiratory Care program is
accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Respiratory
Care, 1248 Harwood Road, Bedford, Texas 76021-4244. For

Transfer Information
TRANSFER
Mt. Hood Community College is an excellent starting place for
students who wish to transfer to a four-year university or college
and pursue a bachelor’s degree. MHCC students can complete
all or most of the lower-division general education requirements
for both public and private four-year colleges and universities.
The advantages of starting a four-year program at MHCC include smaller classes, lower costs, instructors’ focus on teaching
excellence and the availability of courses for improvement of
skills in reading, writing and mathematics.
Planning for a Successful Transfer
Admission, general education, degree and graduation requirements vary among colleges and universities. Therefore, it is vital to
plan ahead for transfer by reviewing catalogs and transfer advising guides for the various transfer schools. Planning for transfer is
an important part of one’s educational preparation.
Success in the transfer process is largely the result of careful planning and attention to the requirements of transfer colleges. Transfer success is a student’s individual responsibility. However, prudent use of available resources and advising can help to ensure
a smooth transition to a four-year institution. Students can benefit
from following these tips for successful transfer:
Plan Ahead: Enroll in HD100: College Success and/or
contact an adviser at MHCC to develop an education plan.
If you need help with choosing a major or career, enroll in
HD110 or HD208, and/or contact the Career Planning and
Counseling Center.
Maintain Contact: Establish early contact with admissions
representatives and major advisers both at MHCC and transfer colleges. Keep in touch with them in order to keep up to
date on major and transfer requirements.
Know the Rules: Pay attention to GPA and transfer credit
policies, application deadlines and both general education
and major course requirements of transfer schools.
Confirm Transferability of Courses: Not all 100-200 level
courses transfer to all four-year schools (refer to page 229 of
the MHCC college catalog). It is strongly recommended that
students contact the four-year university they plan to attend
(immediately) to check admission requirements, deadlines,
and the suggested freshman and sophomore classes required
in the chosen field. Universities and four-year colleges have
the “last say” on transferability.
100
MT. HOOD COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Utilize Transfer Resources: This catalog, academic advisers (Academic Advising and Transfer Center), MHCC faculty
advisers and the annual Transfer Days event are key sources
of information and guidance.
Ask for Help: Make sure you have current and complete
information; check the resources above or ask your transfer/
receiving school directly for what you need to complete the
transfer process successfully.
Transfer Departments and Faculty Advisers
Students can prepare for transfer at MHCC in many areas of
study! These majors may lead toward hundreds of potential
careers. Faculty advisers are assigned to assist students with appropriate educational planning, selection of transfer schools and
keeping updated on changing requirements and standards. Faculty advisers provide expertise to students majoring in their fields.
Lists of advisers for all majors are updated annually and posted
to the MHCC website at mhcc.edu/progadvisers.
Academic Advising and Transfer Center
Many resources can be used to research potential transfer colleges and to learn about their degree programs and requirements
Students may use the center’s computers to access Web pages
for hundreds of colleges and universities. Regular visits by transfer college representatives also enable MHCC students to make
personal inquiries related to their transfer plans.
Transfer Days
Each winter term, representatives from colleges and universities
visit MHCC for Transfer Days. This conveniently scheduled and
located “fair” gives students the opportunity to investigate several
colleges at one time. Personal contact with college reps offers
a chance to ask for detailed information about transfer subjects
and procedures. For information on upcoming Transfer Days, students may contact the Academic Advising and Transfer Center in
AC 2253, or call 503-491-7315.
How Should Students
Choose a Transfer Degree?
Any of the following options can work well if you want to begin
your bachelor’s degree at Mt. Hood Community College.
CATALOG • 2014–15
Associate of ArtsOregon Transfer Degree (AAOT)
The AAOT degree is designed for students planning to complete
an associate’s degree before transferring into a bachelor’s degree program at one of the Oregon’s public university-system
schools. OUS schools include University of Oregon, Oregon
State University, Eastern Oregon University, Western Oregon
University, Southern Oregon University, Portland State University
and Oregon Institute of Technology. The AA/OT offers students
the flexibility to choose courses that interest them while meeting
university lower division general education requirements.
Any student having the Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer
(AAOT) degree recognized on an official college transcript will
have met the lower division General Education requirements of
baccalaureate degree programs of any institution in the Oregon
University System.
Students transferring under this agreement will have junior status
for registration purposes. Course, class standing or GPA requirements for specific majors, departments or schools are not necessarily satisfied by an AAOT degree.
Students need to be ready for college-level mathematics, writing
and science in order to complete the AAOT degree in two years.
Students who lack the necessary skills, MHCC offers excellent
preparatory courses and tutorial assistance to help students get
on track quickly.
Although the AAOT provides an excellent structure for many
students—particularly those who are unsure of their primary academic focus—it is not ideal for everyone. In particular, it does not
articulate well with certain majors such as engineering, biological and physical sciences and the fine and performing arts. Students contemplating these majors cannot easily accommodate
their highly-specific prerequisite coursework into the AAOT framework. In general, an AAOT recipient who is pursuing any course
of study that is credit-heavy at the major lower-division level may
have to take additional lower-division coursework, specific to the
major, after transfer. Students contemplating such majors should
consult closely with an advisor and may instead want to consider
the Associate of Science degree.
A limited number of private and out-of-state institutions also accept the AA/OT. These include Concordia University, Pacific
University, Warner Pacific College, George Fox University and
Marylhurst University in the Portland area, as well as Western
Baptist College, BYU - Hawaii, Hawaii Pacific University, Boise
State University, Seattle Pacific University and Washington State
MHCC.EDU
TRANSFER - AREAS OF STUDY
University - Vancouver. Some of these schools have unique general education requirements that must also be met. Advisers can
assist students planning for those courses.
In selecting courses for this degree, students are highly encouraged to consult the specific faculty adviser and the institution to
which they intend to transfer to determine if it is an appropriate
choice.
Associate of Science –
Oregon Transfer – Business (ASOT–Business) The Associate of General Studies (AGS)
Associate of Science (AS)
Associate of Science is a state approved associate degree that
is intended to prepare students to transfer into an upper division
baccalaureate degree program in such areas as Business, Science, Mathematics and Engineering at one of the Oregon’s public university-system schools.
Completion of this degree does not guarantee (as does the
AAOT and ASOT–business degrees) that lower-division General
Education requirements of any institution in the Oregon University
System will be fully satisfied. However, all courses approved for
an AS degree are transfer-level courses and will be evaluated
course-by course at the receiving institution toward satisfying major, general education or elective degree requirements.
This degree articulates well with certain majors such as engineering, biological and physical sciences and the fine and performing
arts. Students contemplating these majors can more easily accommodate highly-specific major requirements into the AS framework.
MHCC.EDU
The Associate of General Studies degree may be a useful alternative for direct transfer students. This flexible degree option
enables a student to complete an associate’s degree that may
be tailored to the general education requirements of a transfer
school. Students must exercise caution in using the AGS option,
as the degree itself does not guarantee course transferability of
courses. The AGS degree requirements may include non-transferrable coursework. Educational planning for the Associate of
General Studies should be done with the help of an adviser.
The Oregon Transfer Module (OTM)
The OTM is a set of 45 general education credits recognized
by all Oregon community colleges and Oregon University System (OUS) schools, designed for students who wish to transfer.
Completion of the OTM can help those students taking courses at
multiple post-secondary institutions by ensuring transferability of
coursework. This is not a degree or certificate but is documentation on a student’s transcript that they have met a subset of common general education requirements.
In the case of community colleges, these will be courses approved
for the Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer (AAOT) degree; in the
case of universities and four-year colleges, they will be courses
approved for the General Education part of a baccalaureate degree. All courses must be passed with a grade of “C” or better
and must be worth at least 3 credits.
Direct Transfer
Transferring without a degree from MHCC is also an option for
some students. Students in certain majors may need to transfer
after one year in order to take advantage of critical major courses offered at the four-year school in the sophomore year. Or, a
student may choose to select only the specific courses required
for a specific major and/or college. When a student opts for
direct transfer, MHCC courses are evaluated and accepted on a
course-by-course basis by the transfer school.
Students should be aware of their selected schools transfer admission requirements and general education degree requirements. It
is each student’s responsibility to learn the program requirements
of any prospective transfer school and to keep up to date on
changes in those requirements. Therefore, students should periodically contact the transfer schools for updates.

TRANSFER
The ASOT–Business degree is designed for students planning to
complete an associate degree before transferring into a bachelor’s degree program at one of the Oregon’s public university-system schools. OUS schools include University of Oregon, Oregon
State University, Eastern Oregon University, Western Oregon
University, Southern Oregon University, Portland State University
and Oregon Institute of Technology.
A student that completes an AS/OT–Business degree and transfers to any institution in the Oregon University System, will have
met the lower-division general education requirements for that
institution’s baccalaureate degree programs.
GPA requirements for entry into the major are not necessarily satisfied by the AS/OT–Bus degree. Once admitted to the university
and the Business program, however, students transferring under
this agreement will have junior standing for both for the Business
major and for university registration purposes.
All courses should be aligned with the student’s intended program
of study and the degree requirements of the baccalaureate institution to which the student plans to transfer. A student is encouraged to work with an advisor in the selection of courses within the
ASOT-Business degree for alignment to the institution the student
intends to transfer. Students should work with an academic or
faculty adviser early in the development of their educational plan.

Economics
For information, call 503-491-7515
Economics at MHCC focuses on improving economic literacy—
the ability to apply economic principles to personal, business
and political issues. Transfer students who follow the Principles
of Economics sequence at MHCC report superb preparation for
upper division courses in economics. Students also report that
economics was one of the most significant classes they took as
undergraduates—it taught them how to think critically.
Economic majors find jobs in private industry and government.
They continue to graduate school in law, political science, economics, business administration and engineering.
Economics can provide a student a broad background that can
be applied to numerous other areas besides economics.
Curricular Outcomes
At the completion of this curriculum, students should be able to:
• Explain the basic concepts and principles of economics
• Draw correct conclusions from published graphs and
statistics of the economy and economic behavior
• Verbalize the economic arguments behind current
economic policies
• Distinguish between domestic and international economic
issues
The following plan of classes is a general guide to prepare students to pursue an economics degree at a college or university.
To prepare for such a degree and at the same time meet MHCC
degree requirements, follow one of the transfer degree options
on pages 10-15.
Students receiving financial aid must be seeking a certificate or
degree and following official MHCC certificate or degree requirements.
Admission and degree requirements vary among colleges and
universities. Students are advised to:
• Contact the transfer university to confirm specific
admission/major/degree requirements
• Consult with a faculty adviser or the MHCC Academic
Advising and Transfer Center early to develop an

Education
MHCC Faculty Adviser
Myranda Doering: 503-491-7427 Room AC3334E

If you want to be an elementary or secondary school teacher,
you will be making a number of decisions: What age group do
you want to teach? What subject do you want to teach? Will
you transfer to a school with an undergraduate (four-year/bachelor’s) or graduate (fifth year/master’s) teaching program? Which
school do you want to transfer to? The answer to these questions will help determine the appropriate courses to take. MHCC
offers a number of education courses to help you determine if
teaching is really for you and prepare you for transfer to a fouryear university. Three courses, ED142, ED200 and ED209A/B,
are recommended for students who want to more fully explore
the profession before beginning an educational program.
Curricular Outcomes
At the completion of this curriculum, students should be able to:
• Demonstrate the reflective practitioner skills of observation
and reflection
• Provide an educational plan for their preferred Teacher
Education program
Teaching in the public school system requires a professional
license from the Teacher Standards and Practices Commission
(TSPC) requiring a bachelor’s or higher degree from an approved university program. TSPC requires particular coursework,
tests and experiences depending upon the grade level and subject matter to be taught. Thus education program requirements
vary widely at the baccalaureate level, so a student’s coursework
must be planned in accordance with his or her chosen transfer
institution. It is recommended that students work closely with the
MHCC Education faculty adviser and their transfer institution to
develop a meaningful course of study at MHCC. Failure to talk
with both the MHCC Education faculty adviser and the transfer
institution adviser often results in course credits that are not accepted, missing course requirements, wasted financial aid and
time delays. In order to reduce many of these difficulties, students
are strongly encouraged to complete an Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer degree with adviser help. ED142 Education Orientation and ED200 Introduction to Education are courses that
should be taken early to help with planning what to take and
where to transfer. Depending upon the transfer institution, these
two courses are required or strongly suggested. These two courses, plus an early field experience taken as soon as possible, will
help confirm that this is the correct profession for you and set you
on the correct path.
Students interested in teaching at the elementary level (Pre-K to
eighth grade) will want to follow a course of study that is multidisciplinary since they will teach many subjects. There are a number
of Elementary Teacher Education programs in the Portland area.
Eastern Oregon University (EOU) offers a Bachelor of Science
in multidisciplinary studies and elementary education on the
MHCC campus. Additional endorsements in Reading and ESOL
are possible. See an EOU adviser located on MHCC’s Gresham
Campus. See mhcc.edu/eoued for more details.
Students interested in teaching at the secondary level (middle or
high school) will want to follow a course of study that reflects the
major area they wish to teach (i.e., math, social science, science,
health/PE, language arts, etc.).
It is very important to consult with education advisers at both
MHCC and at the school you wish to transfer to as soon as
possible since licensure and university requirements vary. Again,
ED142 Education Orientation and ED200 Introduction to Education are courses that should be taken early to help with planning
what to take and where to transfer.
Note: The following is not a complete list of courses needed to
complete an AAOT degree. Please see MHCC faculty education
adviser.

The study of environmental sciences and management equips
students with a general understanding of the environmental challenges facing our world. It is an interdisciplinary science that
prepares students for positions in a variety of fields including
environmental policy, natural resource management, pollution
control, conservation, lobbying, environmental education and environmental communication. The Environmental Sciences option
provides a strong foundation in mathematics, science and economics, preparing students to deal with environmental systems
and human impacts on those systems.
The two-year plan of studies listed below is designed to meet the
transfer requirements for Portland State University and award the
student an Associate of Science from MHCC. Transfer agreements exist between Mt. Hood Community College and Portland
State University that would lead to a bachelor’s degree in environmental science and management - environmental sciences or
CATALOG • 2014–15
a bachelor’s degree in environmental science and management
- environmental studies. Contact the faculty adviser for information.
However, MHCC students seeking a baccalaureate degree may
also transfer to other institutions with different requirements. Students interested in transferring to a four-year college or university
after MHCC are highly encouraged to consult with the institution
they will be attending, then consult with a faculty adviser early to
develop an educational plan.
Students receiving financial aid must be seeking a certificate or
degree and following official MHCC certificate or degree requirements.
Note: Community colleges do not award transfer degrees in a
subject area, but do award an Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer
degree, an Associate of Science Oregon Transfer – Business degree or an Associate of Science degree.

Geology is the study of the Earth. It seeks to describe, classify and
analyze the Earth’s physical and chemical characteristics and
catalog the history of Earth and past life forms. Geologists examine land forms and rocks to discover how the Earth has formed
and changed over time. Geology involves the investigation of
Earth hazards, resources and environment as well as solutions to
these problems.
Curricular Outcomes
At the completion of this curriculum, students should be able to:
• Demonstrate mastery of discipline-specific fundamental
geologic concepts
• Utilize the method of scientific inquiry with respect to
geosciences
• Communicate ideas and views regarding the geosciences
as these relate to current issues and daily life
• Acquire the ability to analyze, synthesize and evaluate
geologic data and information
• Apply geologic knowledge and skills to a range of
problems and propose scientifically reasonable and
acceptable solutions
• Demonstrate technical skills in the collection and analysis
of geologic data in field and laboratory settings

History majors systematically observe and document the past. A
history degree can lead to a career teaching history, or to founding or managing a business, or reporting the news, or managing
an archive, or government, law and other professions.
Corporate management trainers report liberal arts majors advance further in business careers than students with other majors,
and recent figures show that students majoring in history score
especially well in entrance examinations for Master of Business
Administration (MBA) programs and law school.
Curricular Outcomes
At the completion of this curriculum, students should be able to:
• Identify and analyze major events and developments of
significant cultures and civilizations
• Identify and analyze the interrelationships of selected
social, cultural, political, economic and geographic
systems
• Recognize the effects of historical events upon subsequent
issues and situations
• Demonstrate basic competence in geography and discuss
the effects of geography upon historical events
• Use basic tools of historical inquiry - especially the
practice of finding evidence, weighing its importance and
validity and applying it to a historical problem
• Recognize different interpretations of historical events
The following plan of classes is a general guide to prepare students to pursue a history degree at a college or university. To
prepare for such a degree and at the same time meet MHCC
degree requirements, follow one of the transfer degree options
on pages 10-15.
Students receiving financial aid must be certificate or degree
seeking and must follow official MHCC certificate or degree requirements.
Admission and degree requirements vary among colleges and
universities. Students are advised to:
• Contact the transfer university to confirm specific
admission/major/degree requirements.
• Consult with a faculty adviser or the MHCC Academic
Advising and Transfer Center early to develop an
educational plan.
Note: Community colleges do not award transfer degrees in a
subject area, but do award an Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer
degree, an Associate of Science Oregon Transfer – Business degree or an Associate of Science degree.
Nine MHCC history courses (the Western Civilization series:
HST101-103; the World History series: HST110-112; and the
American History series: HST201-203) will transfer directly to
Oregon’s public universities as history credit; each may be taken
individually or as part of a sequence. All other MHCC history
courses transfer as social sciences distribution requirements or
as social science electives. As transfer policies differ, it is vital to
check with the transfer institution directly for specific information.
Each of the history courses listed below is offered at least once
a year at MHCC and several are available in an independent

In today’s globalized world, proficiency in more than one language is necessary, even crucial, for both careers and personal
relations. At MHCC, we help students to not only fulfill their degree language requirement, but also to make them more competitive in the job market, here in Oregon and anywhere else.
Learning another language can also bring a lifelong source of
pleasure, whether from travel, the joy of learning about other
cultures or meeting and getting to know other people better. At
MHCC, we offer American Sign Language (ASL), French1, German1, Italian1, Japanese and Spanish. What’s the “best” language to learn? It’s the one that addresses one’s own strengths,
needs and personal interests, as well as one’s career plans.
In addition to the many courses we offer on campus and online,
we are also ready to help students deepen their linguistic abilities
and understanding of other cultures by making several exciting
study abroad opportunities available each year. These include
a winter program in San Isidro del General (Costa Rica); summer programs in Kyoto (Japan) and Costa Rica (for both Spanish
and biology); a fall program in Florence (Italy) and a spring program that may alternate between Barcelona, Spain or London,
England. Financial aid packages are available for our students
studying abroad.
First Year (Beginning) 101, 102, 103:
At the completion of the first year, students should be able to:
• Listening—understand short, learned utterances and some
sentence-length utterances
• Speaking
-Express personal information by relying on learned phrases or re-combinations of these
CATALOG • 2014–15
-Manage uncomplicated communicative tasks in straightforward social situations
-Ask simple questions or make statements involving
learned material
• Reading—exhibit sufficient control of the writing system to
interpret written language in limited areas of practical need
• Writing—produce material consisting of re-combinations of
learned vocabulary and structures into simple sentences
on familiar topics
Second Year (Intermediate) 201, 202, 203:
At the completion of the second year, students should be able to:
• Listening—sustain comprehension over longer stretches
(beyond the sentence level)
• Speaking
-Express personal information by creating with the language
-Initiate, sustain and close a general conversation with a
number of strategies
-Exhibit evidence of connected discourse, particularly for
simple narration and description

Philosophy
MHCC Faculty Adviser
Chris Jackson: 503-491-7284 [email protected]
Room AC2672
Philosophers are interested in trying to provide plausible answers
to life’s most profound questions. 1. What, ultimately, is going on?
Is there a God who created us for some purpose? Must we grasp
this purpose and take specific actions or be on the losing side of
some great spiritual battle? Is God perhaps merely interested in
watching the show? Is nature all there is and God a mere figment
of our imaginations? 2. What kind of thing is a human being?
Are we creatures of God possessing an immortal soul, or are
we merely animals? Were we created by intelligent design, or
are we the product solely of naturalistic evolutionary processes?
Do we have sufficient freedom of the will to be truly deserving of
praise and blame for what we do, or are we only complicated
physical systems like computers and storms that are not responsible morally for what they do? 3. How should a human being
live? Should I seek mainly my own happiness? How concerned
with the welfare of others should I be? How should I treat others
and expect others to treat me? It is true that philosophers rarely
reach a consensus about which answer is indisputably the right
one for any given philosophical question. But it is still the case that,
as with other noble pursuits, the connoisseur of ideas can at least
identify the few best answers, and from these few he or she can
sometimes reach personal closure - an intelligent and informed
personal closure. So why let others answer these questions for
you? Why settle for being a second hand person? Isn’t it time to
own your mind?
Curricular Outcomes
At the completion of this curriculum, students should be able to:
• Identify questions addressed in the three main areas in
philosophy: metaphysics, epistemology (including logic)
and ethics
• Recall some of the contributions of the major philosophers
(e.g., Socrates, Plato, Descartes, Kant, Nietzsche, Mill and
Rawls)
• Examine some of the main problems and proposed
solutions/criticisms in philosophy, along with the concepts
instrumental to participating in the philosophical dialogue
regarding these problems
• Define the basic vocabulary of logic
• Translate an argument from its original context into a
more concise and orderly summary (i.e., an argument
standardization or diagram)

TRANSFER
The Theatre Arts Technician-Designer curriculum is geared to students who wish to specialize in the planning, design and execution of theatrical scenery, lighting, sound, costumes, makeup and
stage management.
Curriculum Outcomes
At the completion of this curriculum, students should be able to:
• Present a completed production design, demonstrating
process from script analysis, concept development to final
presentation
• Safely rig, operate and maintain scenery and equipment
for a theatrical fly system
• Read and execute technical drawings for scenery and
lighting
• Create a résumé and support materials (portfolio) suitable
for an interview in professional or educational theatre
The following plan of classes is a general guide to prepare students to pursue an MHCC General Studies degree (see page
16). The curriculum includes coursework in theatre, related electives and general studies to total 90 hours; other related courses
may be substituted. Students who pursue the General Studies degree should work closely with the theatre faculty to select courses
and to ensure that they meet their career and educational goals.
This theatre arts plan is not intended to be wholly transferable to
a four-year college, although individual classes are transferable.
Students who intend to transfer to a four-year university to seek a
degree in the arts should see the Theatre Arts Production – Designer curriculum on this page or choose an alternative college
transfer plan.
Students receiving financial aid must be seeking a certificate or
degree, and following official MHCC certificate or degree requirements.

The exploratory curriculum is recommended as a starting place
for students who are undecided about a major. The intent of this
curriculum is to allow students to actively explore their educational options while also working towards an MHCC degree.
Actively exploring educational options involves meeting with a
faculty adviser on a regular basis, taking a career planning class
and taking exploratory classes.
The following plan of classes is a general guide to prepare students to pursue a liberal arts degree at a college or university. To
prepare for such a degree and at the same time meet MHCC
degree requirements, follow one of the transfer degree options
on pages 10-15. It should be noted that while this curriculum is a
good fit for liberal arts degrees, the AAOT does not guarantee
junior status for all schools, departments or major requirements
with regard to courses or grade point average.
A note on exploratory classes:
A great way to “try out” a major is to take an introductory, or
exploratory, class in the area you are interested in. Doing this
gives you the opportunity to check out a variety of possible majors; you may even discover, in this process, the one you want to
pursue. The guide to exploratory classes below follows the distribution degree requirements for the AAOT and allows a student to
sample specific academic areas.
The first three quarters we suggest you choose classes that seem
the most interesting to you (this is your exploration time). The second three quarters are when you need to make sure you are
meeting the rest of the degree requirements if you choose to
graduate with an AAOT.
Students are strongly encouraged to meet with their faculty adviser (see above) on a quarterly basis.
MHCC.EDU

Requirements
At Mt. Hood Community College, we are committed to your
success. The College Placement Test (CPT) is an important part
of that commitment. All new degree-seeking students who do
not have transferable reading, writing and/or math credits from
another institution must take the CPT. For more information visit
mhcc.edu/CPT. The CPT measures reading comprehension,
knowledge of English grammar and skills in mathematics. The
test is required if you wish to enroll in courses that have reading,
writing and/or math prerequisites. Many MHCC courses do
have these prerequisites; course requirements can be found at
the end of each course description in the pages to follow or in
the schedule of classes at mhcc.edu/schedule.
Reading, writing and mathematics prerequisites are satisfied
by completed coursework and/or the appropriate level of
CPT exam scores. Courses may have other requisites that are
satisfied only by completing the stated course.
