The Computer
Science program leads to an Associate
in Science degree and prepares students
for transfer to a four year college or
university. In the first semester, the
student must select a course sequence
with a focus on their transfer program.
The following
course sequences are given to help the
student visualize typical student schedules.
Each individual student's schedule is
determined with the help of a computer
studies academic advisor. The Information
Systems course sequence prepares the student
to continue toward a Bachelor's degree
in Computer Information Systems, Management
Information Systems, or Business.
The Technical
course sequence prepares the student to
continue toward a Bachelor's degree in
Computer Science. The Math course sequence
prepares the student to continue toward
a Bachelor's degree in Math or a Math/
Computer Science combination. Students
generally transfer with junior standing.

The Computer
Information Systems program consists of
a broad spectrum of courses in the information
systems and information technology fields.
Upon completion of the required courses,
the student will receive an Associate
in Applied Science and be ready for immediate
employment. Core courses give the student
a strong foundation in computer programming,
networking, database systems, productivity
software, system security, Web development,
and systems analysis. Students can then
choose from a variety of courses in order
to specialize in an area of their choice,
such as Web development, or prepare for
transfer to a Bachelors degree in CIS
or business. Students seeking immediate
employment will find opportunities in
a variety of organizations as Visual Basic
programmers, computer operators, database
specialists, IT support or Web developers.

The Computer
Technology program consists of a sequence
of college level courses leading to the
Associate in Applied Science degree. Computer
Technology places less emphasis on mathematics
and more on computer hardware, digital
logic, and microprocessors. Graduates
are prepared to work in a technical environment
where a knowledge of the interface between
hardware and software is necessary. These
positions may include computer operators,
technician/programmers, or engineering
aides, working on large software projects
or working directly with digital devices
such as microprocessors and computer interfaces
for sensors and controllers.
