I have taught the Unix, Linux and C courses at Northeastern. In general the 
prereqs are not really enforced. I was scheduled to teach the C++ course 
but it was cancelled. I can provide you with a syllabus for the courses.

The Unix course has some shell scripting. While the Linux course also 
includes some scripting the emphasis is more on using Linux.
