PROGRAMS AND COURSES
Degree and Certicate Curricula
City College of San Francisco oers degree, credit certicate, and non-
credit certicate courses of study on the occupational level.
Degree Curricula. A degree curriculum requires completion of 60 or
more semester units (normally two years of full-time work) in confor-
mance with the requirements of a particular department of instruction.
(Students who have not satised course prerequisites may need more
than two years to complete a degree curriculum.) Students who satisfy
these requirements receive the degree of Associate in Arts or Associate
in Science, and also the Award of Achievement if they have maintained
a specied grade-point average. e College oers some 46 degree cur-
ricula on the semiprofessional level.
Degree curricula, because they are oered for a two-year period, with
training in theory, related practice, and general education, oer stu-
dents broad opportunity for employment. ese curricula are therefore
recommended for those desiring preparation for employment in any of
a wide variety of capacities on the semiprofessional level.
Certicate Curricula Credit. A credit certicate curriculum gener-
ally requires completion of 12 to 30 semester units in conformance
with the requirements of a particular department of instruction. e
College oers certicate curricula in some over 100 areas.
e College oers certicate curricula for two groups of students:
1. those who desire to prepare for entry-level employment in a
period shorter than two years and hence in more limited elds
than those normally open to graduates of semiprofessional
degree (two-year) curricula; and
2. those who have had previous training or experience, or both,
and desire to add to their occupational competence.
All credit that students earn in a certicate curriculum may also be
used toward satisfaction of the requirements for graduation from the
College with the degree of Associate in Arts or Associate in Science.
Students who have completed courses equivalent to any required
in semiprofessional curricula, or who have otherwise satised the
requirements for such courses, are exempt from taking them. e
O ce of Admissions and Records or Department Chairs and program
advisers will advise students regarding matters of equivalency.
Certicate Curricula Noncredit. e noncredit oerings of City
College include many certicate programs, some of which meet
required guidelines for student nancial assistance. Some programs
are vocationally oriented. ey provide training in entry-level, promo-
tional, and new technological areas. Students may receive a Certicate
of Completion or Competency upon successful completion of all
required courses.
General Information
Students should check the time schedules, published separately, for the
times when courses are oered. e schedules also identify the loca-
tions at which the courses will be taught. e Time Schedule is available
at the College Bookstore; the O ce of Admissions and Records, Room
107, Conlan Hall; the Registration Center, Room 104, Smith Hall;
and San Francisco Public Libraries. To see Time Schedule online, visit:
http://www.ccsf.edu/Schedule
In choosing courses, students who desire to be graduated from City
College should consult the College graduation requirements elsewhere
in this catalog. When choosing courses to satisfy Additional require-
ments listed for a curriculum, students should consult their program
adviser or counselor.
Course Information
Course Identiers. Courses are identied by a subject and a number
(for example, MATH 97) or by a subject and a letter (for example,
ENGL W). In some instances course numbers are followed by letters
to indicate that the course is one of a closely related series of courses
more than one semester in length: for example, English 1A-1B (a two
semester series) and Art 170A-170B-170C (a three semester series). In
such a series of courses, each course is prerequisite to the succeeding
part unless there is a statement to the contrary.
Units. e number or numbers in parentheses following the title of a
course indicate its semester unit (s.u.) value. Note that the semester
unit is not equal to a quarter unit (q.u.). (2 s.u. = 3 q.u.)
Semesters Oered. e letters fa, sp, or su appearing aer the
course title indicate that the course is oered only during the fall, the
spring, or the summer term (semester) respectively.
Courses that have no term-designating letters associated with them
still may not be oered every semester. Also the indication of the
semester or term during which the course is oered is subject to
change without notice. Check with the Department Chair to see when
the class will next be oered.
Method of Delivery. e number of weekly meetings (lecture hours
(lec), conference hours (conf), laboratory hours (lab), eld trips,
work hours (work)) is given for each course. For example, Lec-3
means that the class meets three hours each week (a college hour is 50
minutes long); lab-3 means that three hours of laboratory work are
required each week of the semester. e average number of hours of
study per week is given for independent study (ind st) courses. Note
that patterns of course delivery other than the semester-long pattern
may be chosen by a department. Other patterns include, but are not
limited to, one-half semester (about eight weeks), one-third semes-
ter (about 6 weeks), or a ten-week summer session. e length and
number of meetings for these dierent patterns is determined by the
required number of contact hours needed to satisfy the semester-unit
value of the course.
Grading. Some courses may be taken on a pass/no pass or a letter
grade basis. Others may be taken only on a pass/no pass basis. is
is indicated by P/NP available and P/NP only respectively on the
same line as the delivery pattern. In this symbolism available means
the P (pass) or NP (no pass) grades are available for the course
instead of the regular grades of A through F if the election to take
the course for pass/no pass is made at registration or by the end of the
rst 30% of the term of oering for the course. If no notation occurs
regarding pass/no pass, the course is a letter grade only course.
Additional Information. Other pertinent information about the
course including prerequisites (Prereq.:), corequisites (Coreq.:), advi-
sories on recommended preparation (Advise), repeatability (Repeat:),
and exclusions follow the delivery pattern. Sometimes a course listed
as a prerequisite may be taken concurrently with the course being
described; in which case, concur. in parenthesis following the course
number indicates that.
Transferability. A basic description of the course content generally
concludes the course announcement. At the end of this description,
the abbreviation CSU indicates that the course transfers for elective
credit to any California State University, and the abbreviation UC indi-
cates that the course is acceptable for elective credit at all campuses of
the University of California. Courses designated as UC upon review
are independent studies or variable topics courses which may earn UC
Administration of Justice and Fire Science
elective credit, but which must be evaluated by the UC campus at the
time the student is admitted for transfer before credit can be granted.
Course History. If the course recently had a dierent CCSF course
number or if an equivalent CCSF course exists, that information will
be the last item in the announcement, for example Formerly ENGL
5A or SPAN 2A-2B = SPAN 2. If the course has been taken under its
former number and a grade of C or better or of P has been earned, the
newly numbered course may not be taken because the two are really
the same. In addition, if two courses are listed as equivalent, only one
of the two may be taken.

conrm their program of study. Additional courses might be required
to transfer to particular institutions. e Biological Sciences major is
suitable for students planning to transfer into programs in the bio-
logical sciences, including general biology, cell or molecular biology,
organism biology, marine biology, botany, zoology, ecology, evolution,
genetics, anatomy, physiology, microbiology, and agricultural sciences,
e major is also designed for students planning to transfer into a pre-
medical, pre-veterinary, pre-dental, pharmacy, or chiropractic degree
program.
rough the core forty-four units of the Biological Sciences major,
students will gain the scientic knowledge necessary to investigate
problems and ideas presented in upper division biology courses, as
well as to critically evaluate scientic information. e laboratory work
will train students to use current laboratory technologies, equipment
and techniques to engage in the research process using scientic meth-
ods and to investigate research questions safely.

Engineering Technology Program
General Information
In the Engineering Technology Programs, City College trains students
for employment as engineering technicians - persons who work with
or under the directions of engineers and perform duties requiring a
combination of the theoretical knowledge of an engineer and some of
the skills of a crasman.
e College oers two-year curricula in engineering technology
in two elds: Electronics Engineering Technology and Mechanical
Engineering Technology. e curricula in these elds comprise the
Engineering Technology Programs. Students should be aware that any
change in major, such as a change from one technical curriculum to
another or from one program to another, requires additional time for
the completion of their revised educational objectives.
Prerequisites. High school prerequisites are one-year courses in
elementary and advanced algebra, geometry, trigonometry, mechanical
drawing, and physics. A one-year course in high school chemistry is
highly recommended for students intending to transfer to a bachelor
degree program in Engineering Technology. Students who have not
completed the required high school courses may take them at City
College of San Francisco.
Students should possess a minimum level of competency in English
communication skills. e completion of English as a Second
Language 79 is recommended.
Broad Preparation for Employment. Because emphasis in the
Program is on both fundamental engineering theory and basic indus-
trial practices, graduates may qualify for employment in many elds:
CAD operator, production planning and control, manufacturing, test-
ing, inspection, sales, installation, maintenance, or servicing.
Each curriculum in engineering technology includes courses in sub-
jects common to all branches of engineering. In general, these subjects
include the following: graphics, mathematics, orientation to engineer-
ing, and physics. rough this related study, students obtain a better
understanding of the work in their majors and develop a broad techni-
cal background.
General Education. e curricula also include instruction in general
education so that students may satisfy the College graduation require-
ments in this area.
Associate in Science Degree and Major. e Engineering Technology
Program is designed so that students may satisfy the requirements
for graduation from the College. Students who satisfy these require-
ments and complete any of the curricula with nal grades of C or
higher in their major technical courses also receive the Associate in
Science degree in Electronic Engineering Techno-logy or Mechanical
Engineering Technology. e Major may be considered a recommen-
dation by the faculty of the Engineering and Technology Department
which, in conjunction with the Career Development and Placement
Centei, will aid the giaduate in fnding a position.
Transfer to Other Colleges and Universities. Students in the
Engineeiing Technology Piogiams may eithei entei industiy upon
graduation or transfer to a four-year institution to earn a bachelors
degree in engineering technology. Several campuses of the California
State University such as the Sacramento, Long Beach, and Pomona
campuses, as well as private institutions, such as DeVry University,
oer graduates this opportunity. Engineering Technology students may
also choose to transfer to a bachelor degree program in industrial tech-
nology oered at several campuses of the California State University,
such as the San Francisco, San Jose, Fresno, and Chico campuses. e
time required for completion of curricula open to graduates at these
schools is normally two additional years. Students who intend to trans-
fer should consult their advisers and the section in this catalog entitled
Transfer Information.

students with diverse goals, including transfer to U.C., C.S.U., or other
four year colleges. English majors will be able to complete most or all
of their lower division preparation at CCSF before they transfer but
should see a counseloi to confim theii piogiam of study.
By taking 6 units of Core Reading and Composition Courses, students
will learn techniques to produce clear, precise prose by integrating
writing, reading, and research. e required 6 units of Core Surveys of
literature in English will ensure students have a broad familiarity with
dierent eras of literary history; an additional requirement of 6 units of
Specialized Literature Courses provides students with an opportunity
for more focused study. If students anticipate careers in law, education,
communication, writing, government, advertising, or business, the
English major should serve them well.

Learning Outcomes
e Diagnostic Medical Imaging Program seeks to provide graduates
who:
(1) Aie piepaied to ofei safe and appiopiiate patient caie and
radiation protection skills in the medical environment. is goal
is reached through strong course oerings, a dedicated faculty
who are committed to life-long learning and their professional
giowth, and clinical am liates who ofei patient caie expeiience
that nuituies excellence.
(2) Have acquiied technical skills and knowledge that will enable
them to produce diagnostic examinations. is goal is reached
through coursework and clinical assignments that are fortied
by a rotation semester designed to see that all students get the
broadest possible hands-on experience in order to acquire the
necessary skills.
(3) Will exhibit piofessionalism in theii piactice of diagnostic
medical imaging. is goal is reached with the guidance of
sta radiographers, clinical instructors, radiologists, and others
involved in a radiology department, who challenge our students
to exhibit professionalism in the day-to-day skills. Further,
the program faculty places a high priority on professionalism
and acts as role models for the students. e commitment to
life-long learning evidenced by the faculty further enforces
professionalism.
(4) Will successfully complete the Ameiican Registiy of Radiologic
Technologists examination and become certied by the State
of California. While the primary purpose of instruction is to
prepare the student for a successful career in diagnostic medical
imaging, the secondary purpose is surely to see that our stu-
dents are prepared for their board exam: e American Registry
of Radiologic Technology Examination in Radiography. To this
end, the faculty maintains currency in the area of texts required
and recommended, reviews course outlines regularly, and con-
sults with various portions of the community regarding the
entrance-level skills of our graduates.
(5) Will have successful and productive careers in Diagnostic
Medical Imaging. Our goal is to involve students in a wide range
of subjects and disciplines so that students acquire an interest in
analyzing, inquiring, reading, writing, discussing, and learning
that will continue and expand throughout their lives.
