Catalog Description

Computer Science involves design and innovation developed from computing principles. This two-year curriculum focuses on the theoretical foundations of computing, algorithms, and programming techniques, as applied to software development.

Enrollment Completer Projections

Since the program is new, we estimate sporadic numbers in the next two years, rising to an average level of 50 students being awarded Associate of Science degrees once current cohorts begin to matriculate.

Program Proposal Attributes

Program Award Type(s) (Check all that apply)
  • Certificate of Achievement: 16 or greater semester (or 24 or greater quarter) units (C)
Program Goal

To prepare students for transfer into four-year computer science programs. Students planning to transfer to a four-year college or university should familiarize themselves with the computer science program requirements at the school to which they will transfer.
