Do I need to complete all the "pre-requisites" in order to apply?
Courses at the bottom of the advising or program resource page are not pre-requisites although people often call them this. Those courses are part of the AAS degree and are taken to earn points towards a seat (i.e. English 1 & 2, Computer Literacy, etc). None of the classes need to be taken to apply, but that also means no points are earned for them.
