Breadth: Any non-fundamental course that is introductory in nature, provides a wide scope of coverage, overview, or survey of a relatively broad field of study, and/or addresses a wide spectrum of the general education outcomes approved by the faculty at BCC. By analogy, breadth courses take a "floodlight" approach to the coverage of subject material, and the wider range of the subject taught might be at the expense of going into less detail.

Depth: A "depth course" is any non-fundamental course that is more narrowly focused in scope, covers one or more specific areas within a broader field of study, and/or addresses relatively fewer of the general education outcomes approved by the faculty at BCCC. Also, many courses that require subject prerequisites would be considered depth courses. By analogy, depth courses take a "spotlight" approach to coverage of subject material, and the narrow range of material covered allows an opportunity for coverage of the subject in greater detail.
