At CBC, as at most colleges and universities, instructional departments offer areas of study (e.g., English, sociology, physics). Related departments are combined into larger divisions, also called Schools (e.g., Arts, Humanities & Communication, Health Sciences, Math, Science & Engineering). Students who have questions about the subject matter, requirements, permission to register, etc. for a particular course or program of study are encouraged to contact the appropriate instructional office.
