Semester Sequence
This is a suggested full-time schedule for a student who has completed any developmental course work and has no transfer credits. Refer to the College catalog for specific requirements in selecting General Education courses .
General Education Requirements and Electives - 30 Credits
General Education Requirements:
General Education Electives:
Choose courses in each category from the list of approved General Education Courses . One course must be a Diversity course.
- Arts and Humanities 3 Credit(s).
- Information Technology - CSIT 101 or CSIT 111 3 Credit(s).
- Social and Behavioral Sciences 6 Credit(s).
Program Requirements and Electives - 30 Credits
Program Electives:
Choose 2 credits. Elective courses should be selected to meet transfer institution requirements.
- Any elective 2 Credit(s).
Total Credits Required for Degree: 60*
Notes
*Credit students who are new to college (no successfully completed college coursework at other institutions) are required to take ACDV 101 in the first semester at CCBC. This is a 1-credit class, and it does not count towards the number of credits required for a degree or certificate. Students are required to provide an official transcript(s) to document successful completion of college coursework at another institution(s) for this requirement to be waived.
**In order to take PHYS 151 , students must have completed MATH 251 with a C or higher and done one of the following:
- Completed high school Physics, OR
- Completed PHYS 101 with a grade of C or better, OR
- Received permission from the Physical Sciences department chair.
***In order to take CHEM 121 /CHEM 122 , students must have done one of the following:
- Completed CHEM 107 and CHEM 108 with a grade of C or better, OR
- Passed the Chemistry placement exam and completed or tested out of (ENGL 052 and RDNG 052) or ACLT 052, and MATH 083, OR
- Received permission from the Physical Sciences department chair.
Transfer Pattern Description
This degree pattern is designed to help students transfer to colleges and universities that offer a baccalaureate degree with a major in Oceanography. Beyond the General Education requirements and options, this pattern should be considered in light of the requirements of the selected transfer institution. Students should consult with a transfer coordinator or an advisor for information about specific requirements.
Transfer Pattern Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this transfer pattern, students will be able to:
- relate the Earth’s dynamic processes to its composition, structure and surface features;
- describe the general topography of the ocean floor;
- plot and interpret data concerning the chemical and physical properties of seawater;
- describe the general surface and deep-water circulation of the ocean;
- describe the processes that shape the coastlines and the resulting landforms;
- describe the forms and lifestyles of marine organisms;
- use data to solve chemistry problems;
- solve calculus-based physics problems; and
- perform oceanography experiments and write coherent laboratory reports.
