V. Course Prerequisite Change CS 300 Programming in C++ currently has no pre-requisite.

Add the following pre-requisite:
A “C “ or higher in MH 113 or equivalent course.

To insure that students have adequate skills in abstract concepts before attempting programming courses.
 The “equivalent course” phrase is meant to allow AGSC articulation-approved courses and also to allow flexibility for Math/CIS comprehensive majors to satisfy the pre-requisite, since some Math/CIS majors could start their math courses with  MH 114 (based on ACT) while others might start with MH 121.

 Students weak in math skills will have to delay entrance into the CIS 3-course  programming sequence (CS 300, 301, 370). None
