Choose Your Combo!

These course combos are totally optional: You can register for any class that works for your educational plan. But you may find that your combo is a good way to get started at De Anza this fall.

The Best of Both Worlds

two young men walking and looking at notebookMany of the suggested classes will be taught in hybrid format, with some scheduled meetings on campus, and some work that you can do online.

It’s the best of both worlds: You’ll have personal contact with instructors and classmates (many of them will be taking the same classes in your combo) plus the convenience of working at your own pace online, within deadlines set by the instructor.

These combos were created to make it easier for you to build your schedule – but they are completely optional.

  • You’ll find plenty of other courses in the fall class listings, and you’re free to choose any classes that suit your needs or interests (provided you meet any prerequisites).
  • You can substitute another class that fits into the suggested schedule, choose one that meets at another time – or pick one that’s completely online, if you prefer.

A Few Easy Steps 

Before starting, we recommend that you

  • Know your placement: Make sure you know your English and math placements. If you don’t, visit the Find Your Placement webpage.
  • Check the maps: Check the program and transfer maps to see which courses are recommended for your specific academic goal.
  • Speak with a counselor: Consult the Our Counselors directory to find your counselor and ask about which classes are right for you – and how many you should take in the quarter.

When you're ready, click the dropdown bar for your Village below to see your suggested schedule for fall quarter. (Your Village is based on your major. You can see a complete list of Villages by major on the Villages website.)
