Courses of Instruction

Maybe you’ve known what you wanted to do for a living since age 10. Maybe you only recently decided. Or maybe you want to take some classes because, well, you just want to. Whatever your case, Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College can fit your interests with courses that lead you to a degree, a career, a more fulfilled life.

It’s been proven time and again that a college education means more money and more self-esteem. The instructors of our courses and programs know this, too, and that’s why they keep pace with current trends and technology. And it’s why they bring their knowledge and expertise to the classroom, the lab, the studio, the online course or wherever class may take you.

The three figures in parentheses after the description of each academic and technical course indicate the number of semester hour’s credit for the course, the number of lecture hours each week, and the number of laboratory or activity hours each week, respectively. Instructional hours are indicated for career and technical courses.
