Department of Computer Science
If you are transferring from RACC, or considering the dual-enrollment program, this page may be useful for course planning.
Courses in which a grade of D was earned are transferable from Pennsylvania community colleges and institutions in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education only, provided the cumulative GPA is 2.0 or higher with the exception of English Composition and Public Speaking which require a C- or higher.
Millersville has a Dual Admission agreement with Reading Area Community College for students who intend to complete their Associates degree and then transfer to MU. For information about this program, please see this page.
