Notes:
*Additional work in Maple and Prolong required, see PSU program advisor (Cynthia Brown) for details. If you wish to take the lower division CS courses at PSU, speak with a PSU department advsior.
If you have taken CS 161 and CS 162 before Fall 2002 please contact a CS department advisor due to changes in the curriculum.
Due to rapid changes in computer technology some CS courses have made changes in their content. We strongly encourage you to work with a department advisor to develop your transfer plan.

Additional Requirements:
To see how you will transfer into PSU's University Studies program, refer to the General Education link. We highly encourage you to talk with a RCC Academic Advisor to learn more about meeting PSU's general education and bachelor degree requirements.

NOTE: University requirements may change without notice. Students are responsible for working with RCC advisors or counselors and their transfer institution to ensure the accuracy of their academic plan.
