Yes. You can add a change event listener to the first JComboBox that updates the values of the second JComboBox.

Something like this

// first comboBox
final JComboBox courseBox = new JComboBox(
                               new String[]{"Course 1", "Course 2", "Course 3"});

final JComboBox box2 = new JComboBox();

// Now listen for changes
courseBox.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
   void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
       if(courseBox.getSelectedItem().equals("Course 1")){
           // we know that the user picked "Course 1", now change box2 to match
           // first clear everything
           box2.removeAllItems();
           // now add back relevant values
           box2.addItem("A1");
           box2.addItem("A2");
       }else if(...){
           // ...
       }
   }
});
