CSS 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.
