You must have the following:
-
CSC 416 or equivalent courses on data structures (linked
lists, stacks and queues, trees, heaps and priority
queues, hash tables, graphs) and some theoretical topics
(automata, regular languages, grammars, and context-free
languages).
-
CSC 224 (or 211 and 212) or equivalent experience
programming in Java.

If you do not have 416 or java experience, drop now.
Useful, but optional:
-
