You'll have to start over anyways, since Pitt has moved the majority of
the CS curriculum over to Java.  I recently decided to finish my degree
(a decision I'm rapidly beginning to regret for the same reasons I quit
in the first place), and found out that none of my CS credits from Penn
State would transfer in because they were all taught in C.  Sure, there's
one 3-credit 400-level class (taught in C) that those will fulfill, but
I would have to start over with freshmen-level courses.  Maybe I'll tell
the Dean of CS that I run the big iron that prints his paycheck.
