What classes are offered when
CTE courses two-year planner
All courses are offered via the web and are now sequenced by
semester. Required CTE core classes are offered every 2 years. Plan ahead to complete your
degree.
NOTE:
There are four required “core” CTE classes required for
graduation. Course substitutions are not made for those classes. The
classes are CTE591, CTE691, CTE692, and CTE696. In prior years, we have
had enough enrollment to offer our core classes 2x per year. Due to
reduced enrollment, we have reduced our core class offerings to 1x per year
until further notice. Depending upon your planned semester of graduation,
you will want to plan your course scheduling accordingly.
- CTE591 – History and Philosophy, Fall semester (scheduled
for first 7 weeks Fall 2012)
- CTE696 – School and Community Relations, Summer semester
(scheduled for 2nd summer session Summer 2012)
