Cerritos College schedule 2011- 2015

Note: In August 2012, I decided to spend an extra year getting my degree, so I will graduate in 2015 instead of 2014. This will allow me to take extra classes that I otherwise wouldn't have been able to take, such as advanced photoshop and Spanish. I'll be taking a couple of classes that will count toward getting into a university, in case I want to go beyond my AA degree some day.
