Most academic programs require a working knowledge of algebra. OLS courses previously carried the SPV prefix. CGT department courses previously carried the TG (Technical Graphics) prefix   Following each course number and title, the number of hours of credit given for each course is indicated in parentheses.  These abbreviations are also used in the descriptions:       Abbreviations:

"Recit." refers to a problem-solving, Recitation session. "P" refers to the course Prerequisite(s)  (other courses that must be successfully completed prior to enrollment).  "C" refers to the course Corequisite(s)  (other courses which must be enrolled in during the same academic sessions).  "R" refers to course Recommendation(s) prior to enrollment, but are not necessary for enrollment.
