Prerequisites are as follows:

To verify course equivalencies from institutions outside of the UH system please visit UHM's Admissions and Records "Transfer Credit Search" website at www.hawaii.edu/admrec/transfer.  Prerequisites taken at other universities must match the credit hour totals outlined in the above table.
