Computer Science A.S. Degree
The Computer Science A.S. degree program provides a core of courses that prepare students to transfer to a four-year college or university and major in computer science. The program is designed to provide broad coverage of both mathematics and computer science comparable to that offered in the first two years of a four-year college’s computer science major with an emphasis on object-oriented design and programming.

This program prepares students for entry-level employment or for transfer to a four-year college or university.
