* Courses that are designated primarily for vocational/career programs. A number of these courses are accepted as transfer credit by some colleges and universities, but that decision is made by the receiving institution. These courses are collegiate level work, but they have been developed with a purpose other than being university parallel courses.
Courses must be taken in sequence and are offered once per year.
