Courses

Course Registration

The program emphasizes and offers transferable English, math, science courses. These disciplines are at the heart of a student’s academic achievement and performance throughout the general/transfer course work. In Enlace English courses a Chicanx/Latinx thematic teaching approach is taken, and students enrolled in Enlace English 001A will be assigned to a Chicanx/Latinx mentor where they will have the opportunity to learn about their mentor’s profession.
