Notes
Note 1: If you took CS 162 between fall 2002 and fall 2004 see a PCC CS department advisor due to changes in the curriculum.
Note 2: Both MTH 231 and MTH 232 must be taken together at PCC in order to transfer.
Note 3: PHY 212 at PCC transfers as Ph 213 at PSU. PHY 213 at PCC transfers as Ph 212 at PSU.
- If you took CS 161 and CS 162 at PCC between fall 2002 and fall 2004 please see a PCC CS department advisor for advising due to changes in the curriculum.
- CS 160 is strongly recommended for those students who do not have a background in the computer science field.
- Due to rapid changes in computer technology some CS courses have made changes in their content. We strongly encourage you to work with an Academic Advisor to develop your transfer plan.

Additional Requirements
To see how you will transfer into PSU's University Studies program, refer to General Education. We highly encourage you to talk with a PCC Academic Advisor to learn more about meeting PSU's general education and bachelor degree requirements.
PCC endeavors to create accurate transfer guides for students; however, requirements may change without notice. Students are responsible for working with PCC advisors and their transfer institution to ensure that their academic plan will meet requirements and timelines.
