just take some general classes… math, psych, economics, history, maybe a desktop publishing class. Any idea what you would like to do for a major?

well if you want a 4 year degree you have to take general courses. was there anything in highschool that you had problems with? math? english?
you always have to see what will transfer, but if you are just going to ccac to get a feel for school its sometimes good to take a class that might be more like a refresher to something you were confused about in highschool

Just about everything requires English Composition 101 and some math classes.

Word. No matter what job you have, if you can write really well it is always a bonus.

if you plan on transfering to a 4 year college its good to get the skills requirements out of the way. specially if they are still fresh in your mind from highschool.
so i suggest taking:
English composition 1 or 2 — depending on where you place
Intermediate algebra
then general classes would be the liberal arts.
like-
intro to psychology
history
western civ
if you are intrested in criminology look at Pitt’s College of General Studies
they offer
they call criminology- Administration of Justice
and similar is, Legal Studies.
Fun class you can cross register for through ccac and take at pitt is Oragnized Crime.
Hope that helps. Let me know if you need advice. I used to do academic advising and admissions committee at Pitt.
