Common Course Numbering System (CCNS)

• CCNS is a statewide program in which academic
  discipline groups ensure certain courses are
  similar enough in content and purpose that
  students can transfer courses from one
  institution to another.
• More than 1800 courses make up the CCNS
• Discipline groups, in eighteen discipline areas,
  are currently meeting to expand the System and to
  build in competencies. Additional groups will
  meet during SY 05-06 and still more groups will
  meet during SY06-07.
