Developmental Course Requirements
In some cases, students are required to take developmental courses before they begin work on other core and distribution courses. Developmental courses don't take the place of core courses -- instead, they help you build your skills in preparation to take those core courses. Your ACT or SAT scores in the different subject areas will determine which courses you will start out with.
