Prerequisite Chart
The following table summarizes the prerequisites for all (non-workshop/special topics) courses offered by the Department of Computer Science. For information about workshops and special topics courses, see the new and elective courses.
This information is only a summary. Please consult the most current WSU Undergraduate (or Graduate) Catalog for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
In addition to the prerequisites listed below, please note that all CS courses at the 200+ level require English 101 and Math 111 or 112, or equivalents, with a grade of C or better, or departmental consent. Courses which have no additional requirements than these have an asterisk (*) under "Prerequisite(s)."
