Computer Science, AS
Computer scientists design and develop the software programs that IT professionals use and maintain. Computer science emphasizes the software aspects both in theory and application rather than the physical construction of computers (hardware aspects). The computer science program includes core courses in programming, systems, algorithms, databases, web technologies, and software product development.
This is a sample transfer guide; consult with a counselor or pathway advisor to develop your degree plan.
