WORRIED ABOUT PREREQUISITES? Are prerequisites keeping you from taking a class? Some prereqs are changing but won't change "in the system" for a year. Many people from industry may meet prerequistes through equivalent experience. Don't let not having a prereq hold you back! Make sure you contact either the instructor of the class, or a faculty advisor. |
