Launch your tech career with a degree designed to transfer to a 4-year university.

Students learn about computer architecture and how to program in two languages. These fundamentals provide a gateway to software applications development. There are three programming courses and one architecture course in the degree program.

The Associate of Science in computer science transfers to a university, allowing students to begin their education in small, affordable classes with individual attention. We work closely with the nearby university to ensure transferability of our courses.
