Course Descriptions


To find and select courses, it is important to understand IVCCD’s Course Numbering System. All courses are numbered in the same format with a three-letter prefix and a three-digit suffix. The prefix indicates the discipline; the suffix indicates the particular course. 

Career and Technical Credit Type – Career and technical education prepares students for a wide range of careers that require varying levels of education—from one-year diplomas to two-year AAS and AS college degrees. Up to 16 of these credits can be applied to an AA degree as electives.

Developmental Credit Type – Developmental credit classes do not apply towards any degree and are not calculated into the GPA.

Nursing Credit Type - Nursing classes have a requirement of ‘C’ or higher for successful completion of the course.

Standard Credit Type – These courses are transfer level courses. See advisors for how they will work for the student’s program.
