UCI Extension Courses This Summer at OCC

From the Westminster Herald – June 12, 2003

In response to state budget reductions, Orange Coast College will offer 21 UC Irvine Extension courses on its campus this summer.

Because of the aforementioned cuts, OCC has dramatically decreased the number of courses it will offer on campus this summer. During a typical summer session in recent years, OCC scheduled nearly 600 different course sections. This year, the college is offering just 125. To assist students with the courses they need, UC Irvine Extension has stepped forward to provide additional classes at OCC.

The UCI Extension courses are equivalent to courses offered at OCC, and are taught by Orange Coast College faculty members. Because the courses must be self-supporting, course fees are $85 per quarter unit.

The six-week courses begin the week of July 7 and run through Aug. 14.

Orange Coast College-equivalent courses being offered by UCI Extension on OCC's campus this summer include: "General Microbiology," "Anatomy and Physiology," "Introduction to Information Systems and Programming," "Freshman Composition," "Critical Reasoning, Reading and Writing Through Literature," "The Bible as Literature," "Contemporary Ethnic America," "Nutrition," "General Geology," "Survey of American History," "World Civilizations to the 17th Century," "Finite Math with Applications," "Pre-Calculus," "Calculus I," "Introduction to the Hospitality Industry," "Real Estate Practice," "Introductory Sociology," and "Intermediate Spanish."
