| Associate in Science Transfer Program | |||
| 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. Working with computers provides opportunities that are plentiful and rewarding. The career picture is outstanding and employment growth is expected into the next century. If you think logically, pay attention to detail, are interested in the manipulation and analysis of information, and enjoy creative problem-solving and exploring new fields, think about the Computer Science program at BCC for your career in computer systems and applications. While at BCC, students work on microcomputers as well as mainframe computers. Programming languages include object-oriented C, C++.net, C#, ADA, Microprocessor Assembler, as well as Microsoft Windows. |

| On-Line Course Recommendations: | |||
| It is reccommended that all students taking on-line WebCT or SLN courses should have high-speed Internet connections. The softwared used by on-line students may come bundled with the course textbook, and /or be available on-line. some on-line courses will require a student to purchase the software necessary to complete the course. |
|||
| Computer Recommendations: | |||
| A student seeking a career in the computer programming profession should have a home computer with an internet connection. Students will have to use computers to write programs, analyze problems, make presentations, and write reports. Many assignments cannot be completed without computers. While the College provides access to computers, it is not possible to provide enough machines or convenient times for everyone. Students are strongly urged to purchase Windows-capable systems with speeds of at least 1.5 GHz, with 256 Meg of RAM, and a 20 Gig hard drive. The CST department currently uses Microsoft Visual C++.NET as its main developement environment. | |||
| After BCC… then what? | |||
| The Computer Science program at BCC leads to an Associate
in Science degree and prepares the graduate to transfer to a four-year baccalaureate
degree in Computer Science, Management Information Systems, Business, Finance,
Math, or a combination of disciplines. Students generally transfer with
junior standing. The Computer Studies Department has several 2+2 programs
within the SUNY system and with Rochester
Institute of Technology Employment immediately after graduation from BCC is also possible. Recent graduates have found employment as engineering aides, programmer trainees and computer technicians. Local employers include Hughes, Martin Marietta, and United Health Services, to name just a few. |
