The computer science and technologies curricula include
two transfer degree programs, four certificate curricula, and one
letter of recognition curriculum relevant to current knowledge and
practice in the fields of computer science and information science.
Completion of all the degree requirements of either the computer science
track or the information systems track will lead to the award of the
A.A. in computer science and technologies.
The computer science and technologies program participates
in an interdisciplinary Web careers program, which includes an A.A.S.
and four certificate curricula. For more information on the Web careers
program, see the Web Careers page.
This transfer degree track is for students who plan
to transfer to a four-year degree program in computer science, or
for students in mathematics, science, or technical areas who wish
to acquire skills in computer software development for scientific
and technical applications. The courses provide an academic core of
the theoretical concepts of computer science combined with the fundamentals
of structured design and development techniques for computer programming.
Because of the academic level of this track, students should be able
to demonstrate college-level skills in English, mathematics, and elementary
programming.

This transfer degree track is for students who plan
to transfer to a four-year program such as information systems or
information management. The curriculum is designed to present a broad
coverage of concepts applying to the theory and management of information,
analytical techniques in the development of computer-based information
systems, and practical experience with business programming.
Due to the variation in such programs at four-year institutions,
students are urged to consult an adviser about specific course selections.
