Which COC CLASSES am I allowed to take?
Provided here is a database of the COC classes that AOC students take. We include classes in all pathways, as well as professors for each class. Keep in mind that AOC students are allowed to take online or hybrid classes. However, these courses are faster paced and may be more difficult. You are not required to take all the recommended classes for each pathway, so you should talk to Ms. Grijalva to clarify which classes are right for you. Explore the different possibilities below!
