Computer Science
Program Description
The Computer Science transfer program includes two A.S. degree choices: Computer Science and the Information Science Concentration. Students are encouraged to see an advisor to select correct transfer courses because transfer requirements change periodically.
Graduates of the Computer Science A.S. will be able to:
- Analyze user requirements to do problem-solving
- Design algorithms to solve complex mathematical or scientific problems
- Select algorithms based on a comparison of their time and space complexity requirements
- Implement those algorithms in a high-level programming language, such as Java
- Utilize object-oriented methodology to write efficient code
