A large part of that requirement is to get a B or better in Object Oriented Programming and Design courses. There is a huge emphasis on learning good programming design principles during this "pre-CS" period. If you don't learn it, you will not be accepted to the program until you do.

It depends on what you expect for required OOP classes.  Only 335 is
required, which is the only OOP class (I had Rick Mercer for 127B, and
he groaned loudly at times about not being able to do actual OOP stuff
there).  The software design class might emphasis this more, but it's
either an elective or part of a choice of 3.

And either way, 335 is not part of the pre-major (don't get me started
on that), even though you can take it with only the prerequisites filled
(127B / 227).

Then again, OOP is just another paradigm, which depending on who you ask
is either getting stronger or showing its cracks now.
