Schedule of Classes Semester starts January 19 collegeofsanmateo.edu Spring 2010 Message from the President Welcome to College of San Mateo! CSM serves over 11,000 students each semester. This spring, CSM will offer more than 1,000 sections in over 70 distinct fields of study. I believe that a major advantage of attending CSM is that we have a vibrant, large college environment—indeed we are bigger than some California State Universities! At the same time, we have a “small college” feel. At CSM, you will get to know our faculty and staff on a first name basis. I invite you to review the next few pages of the schedule to become better acquainted with just a small sample of our faculty and to meet some of our former students and hear directly from them about the personal attention they received while at CSM. That personal attention was critical to their success. You will find additional student success stories on our homep- age collegeofsanmateo.edu. Finally, it is important that you gain access to the resources that you need especially at a time when colleges and universities are making budget cuts. Please be sure to spend some time reviewing the section, “Support Services for Students,” on pages 22–23 and make sure that you take College of San Mateo 1700 West Hillsdale Boulevard advantage of all the support that we offer. San Mateo, CA 94402-3784 (650) 574-6161 Whether you plan to transfer, train for a career, or learn a new skill, CSM has collegeofsanmateo.edu something special to offer. While our faculty are highly respected experts in their fields, they are teachers first—they care deeply about your success. In fact, all of us at CSM share that same passion and we look forward to you being part Board of Trustees San Mateo County of the CSM family.

CSM quickly became a place for me not only to learn, but to grow. I took challenging courses with caring and dedicated professors, I found countless leadership opportunities which helped me build my confidence and develop a strong voice, and I became involved in campus activities to further enhance my education. My overall experience at CSM helped me develop personally, intellectually and culturally and contributed greatly to a successful trans- fer experience.” Jeremy Cham, UC Berkeley Major: Economics “Without hesitation, I would say that CSM provides students with wonderful resources and great opportunities. In addition to the coursework in general education and my major, I participated in a wide variety of extra-curricular activities such as the Transfer Club and Phi Theta Kappa, the honor society, as well as serving as an intern for a large financial company and volunteer in the community. Thanks to my CSM professors and advisors, I was able to utilize what I learned both inside and outside the classroom. I also found wonderful resources to help me with the transfer process, including the Transfer Center and faculty members who provided precious advice and valuable assistance with the application process for universities and scholarships.” Adela Esquivel-Swinson Notre Dame de Namur, B.S degree Antioch University, M.A degree “My experience at CSM was excellent! As a single parent, I needed a college education to get a good job so I could support my family. While I was a student, I worked in the college’s Admissions and Records Office which enabled me to learn new skills and gain valu- able work experience. An added benefit was getting to know many faculty and staff who were very helpful to me. There were times I wanted to give up and quit but thanks to my advisor and other college staff, I was encouraged to persevere. Due to the personal attention and support I received from CSM, I was able to achieve my goal. Today, I am the director of admissions and records at Allan Hancock College in Santa Maria, California.” Contents Course Listings Academic Counseling . 22 Accounting . 29–30.
