Definitions:
Co-requisite: A co-requisite is a control measure for enrollment in a particular course, group of courses, or a program. A co-requisite course must be taken at the same time as another course or series of courses. Some co-requisite courses are linked by content, and other times courses are designated as co-requisites to keep a cohort of students together. See specific program handbooks for the application of this tool in specific programs.
Prerequisite: A prerequisite is a course or placement score that is required before a student is eligible for the next process or course. Many programs have groups of courses that are prerequisites to their application process. Many courses have prerequisites that are another course or a score on a placement test (ACT/SAT/Compass). See each course description or program application documents for details.
Consult the Programs and Transfer sections of this catalog and/or an advisor for specific information about each course and which courses meet program or transfer requirements.
**Please note that most MSU–Great Falls College of Technology courses require you to utilize advanced technology. Examples include online research, library usage, computer communication, electronic submission of assignments, online quizzes, etc.
