PHP mysql Select query calling more than specified data

I've been working and testing with queries, and I came across this issue which I don't understand why it's happening.

I have this code:

<?php
        $query = "
    SELECT sc.course_code
         , c.course_name 
      FROM student_course sc
         , courses  c
     WHERE sc.course_code= 'MC 101' 
       AND sc.id_num='A0001'
    ";
        $result = mysqli_query($conn, $query);
        if(mysqli_num_rows($result) > 0)
        {
        while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
        {
        ?>
     <p> <h4 style="w3-wide"> <?php echo $row["course_name"];?> </h3>
           <h4 style="w3-wide"><?php echo $row["course_code"];?>  </h3>
         <button type="button" class="w3-button w3-theme-d2 w3-margin-bottom" style = "float:right"><i></i><a href="schedule mc101.php"> View Course</a></button></p>
    <br>

And based on what I know, it should call a single data which satisfies the conditions student_course.course_code = 'MC 101' and student_course.id_num='A0001' which should only be

MC 101

However, this is what I'm getting:

What I get instead

The course names are correct, but all of them have the same code. Does anyone know why this is happening? Much appreciated!

You missed a join condition, it must me something like ON sc.course_id = c.id

SELECT sc.course_code, c.course_name 
  FROM student_course sc
  JOIN courses c ON sc.course_id = c.id
 WHERE sc.course_code= 'MC 101' 
   AND sc.id_num='A0001'
