Engineering students need a concentration of courses in higher mathematics. Science or pre-medical students need a series of biology and chemistry courses. The College offers preparatory or refresher courses in English composition, reading comprehension and mathematics and basic skills of speech communication for students who are deficient in basic skills. Such courses are not designed for transfer, but are intended to provide students with an opportunity to improve their skills. It should be noted that Cuyahoga Community College is on the quarter system. However, a number of other institutions of higher education are on the semester system. Transferring to schools on the semester system entails converting quarter hours to semester hours (nine quarter hours equates to six semester hours).
