馃摙 RCC Common Course Numbering 馃摙

Starting in Summer 2025, RCC is adopting a new course numbering system as part of Assembly Bill 1111. This statewide change supports easier transfer and clearer degree planning. Under the new system, commonly transferred courses will share the same course numbers across all California community colleges, streamlining articulation with CSU and UC campuses.

This change is designed to reduce confusion for students transferring between colleges, help them stay on track for graduation, and simplify the advising process. RCC will update its catalog and student systems to reflect the new numbering, and counselors will be available to help students understand how the changes may affect their academic plans.

African American History I

Description: A survey of the experience of Americans of African descent in America from the 1600s to 1865. The course begins with the history of African civilizations on the coast of West Africa, moves through the rise of slavery in the Americas, the origins and developments of American ideas about race, and the formation of African American culture(s) and identities. It then culminates with emancipation at the end of the Civil War. Although the history of African Americans is one of struggle and almost constant adversity, it is also one of strength and perseverance. In spite of the challenges, African Americans lived, loved, formed enduring communities, and created a unique culture. Since their involuntary arrival on the shores of North America during the early seventeenth century, Africans and their descendants confronted adversity by means of individual and collective action in numerous ways. The course explores these dimensions of the African American experience, and in so doing, highlights the multifaceted ways African Americans have made their own history while simultaneously shaping and contributing to the history of the United States. 54.00 hours lecture.
