Course Descriptions

|
Although most BRCC courses are designed for college transfer, some may not be compatible with courses needed in a particular degree program at another institution. Students planning to transfer should discuss their plans with an advisor at the receiving institution to make sure that courses taken at BRCC will be accepted.
Course descriptions are alphabetized according to the title of the course discipline (rather than by the abbreviation for the course discipline – thus the course descriptions for Air Conditioning and Refrigeration, HACR, precede course descriptions for Arts, ARTS). Course numbers beginning with the number “0” are developmental education courses, which are non-transferable. Courses numbered 1000-1999 are, typically, but not exclusively, first-year or freshman level courses. Courses numbered 2000 - 2999 are traditionally, but not exclusively, second-year-level courses. Prerequisites and Co-requisites are listed for all courses requiring them. Successful completion of developmental education courses, ENGL 1013 and ENGL 1023 , and all courses serving as prerequisites for other courses require a minimum grade of “C.”
The components of the course information are identified in the figure below.
Louisiana Common Course Numbers (LCCN)
Some courses may contain a reference to a Louisiana Common Course Number (LCCN) in the course description. The LCCN and a Common Prefix (CXXX) and number are used to identify courses that are listed in the Louisiana Common Course Catalog and are designed to assist students in transfer.
