Program Goals and Objectives

The goal of the AS degree in Programming is to provide students with the knowledge and skills

necessary for employment in entry-level positions in the field of programming. 

Rationale

With the accessibility of cheap computing systems and readily available material, students no longer require a BS degree in computer science to succeed but will benefit from focused and shorter programs such as these. Furthermore, this program is in support of the college mission as it supports transfer preparation to four year institutions offering BS degrees in industrial technology and computer science. Many four year institutions offering BS degrees in industrial technology and computer science offer an emphasis in CIS which demands a broad knowledge of programming languages.
