Course Descriptions


About these Course Descriptions

This list of course descriptions reflects the diversity and scope of the many credit courses Chemeketa currently offers. Some of our current courses may not be included here as the college may add classes after this catalog is published. The courses are listed alphabetically by prefix. You can search for courses on this page by clicking on the Prefix menu selector and finding the course prefix of the course you are looking for such as “BI” for Biology. If you are looking for any course that has a specific word, you can use a Keyword or Phrase search. Accounting will find either accounting or Accounting. If you are unsure of the word, you can use a wild card search by using an * such as Account* that will find courses that have the word accounting, Accounting, or accounts. 

You will find prerequisites specified in many of these course descriptions. You must meet these conditions before you enroll in a course. It is your responsibility as a student to fulfill the prerequisite.

Some prerequisites indicate that you must complete certain preparatory courses or must have the consent of the course instructor. To gain consent, meet with the instructor. Consent is based on the instructor’s assessment of your readiness to enroll in the course.

Consult with Chemeketa’s Advising and First Year Programs department or a faculty program advisor for transfer information.

The letters IL and CL at the end of a course description indicate courses which meet the AAOT requirements for information literacy and cultural literacy.

Course numbrers ending in Z are Common Course Number courses that allows for transfer between Oregon’s community colleges and public universities.
