ASSOCIATE IN SCIENCE
Program Coordinator: Joyce Parker - 885-2395

This 67 credit program is designed to provide students with skills consistent with entry-level computer programming and related jobs. The core curriculum combined with technical electives gives the student the flexibility to design a preferred track of concentration. Many students will seek employment as entry-level programmers immediately upon receiving the Associate Degree in Computer Science; however, others will use this as the first step in their pursuit of higher degrees at other institutions.
