If you are interested in taking the coding classes only, you must have the prerequisites of Medical Terminology and Human Body Systems (prerequisite to Human Body Systems is Bio 111 Introductory Biology) before entry into Diagnosis Coding Systems I and Procedure Coding Systems I. If you have previously taken Anatomy and Physiology I and Anatomy and Physiology II, it is not necessary to take Human Body Systems but you must contact the department for an override.
Your first step to taking any class is to fill out an admissions application in person or go to www.stlcc.edu/banner and click on the Online Admissions Application.
If you have further questions, contact the department at 314-644-9760. Click here for degree requirements.
