of this catalog for prerequisites and description. Prior approval necessary for enrollment.
[Independent Study will accommodate specific individual student interests]
Starting Spring Semester, 2015, we will be adding an even wider variety of 1 credit electives so that our students can get exposed to more aspects that involve creative writing, publishing, and employment possibilities. We will post the new listings when they are added to the schedule.
