Degree/Certificate Applicable Courses

@ Cuesta College

 

 

Cuesta College offers a mature and robust program in Library/Information
Technology both for those wishing to enter the field or to continue
their education within it.  Cuesta College is a regionally accredited
California Community College and offers an Associate degree in
Library/Information Technology.  Each of the past four semesters we have
enrolled more than 160 students who were taking from 1 to 6 different
courses at a time.  Our offerings allow students to proceed at their own
pace.  Some students have completed our required core in two semesters.
Four semesters is more typical.  Students with heavy work and family
responsibilities may take even longer.

 

Many of the sections are approaching capacity from the early
registration of continuing students.  New students can begin to enroll
on Friday December 14th.  An online application to the college must be
completed and accepted before one can register for classes.  Tuition,
set by the legislature, is currently $20 per semester unit for in-state
students.

 

Spring classes begin January 22, 2008.  Registration begins in November
for continuing students.  New and re-entering students can enroll in
December.
