COURCES
- CSC
courses are designed primarily for Computer Science majors.
- CSS
courses are designed primarily for non-Computer Science majors.
Note: A
grade of C or better is required for all prerequisite courses listed in
this section.
These classes
reflect courses listed in the 2000-2001 USM Undergraduate Bulletin. If
any discrepancy exists the Undergraduate Bulletin takes precedence.
