Emphasis: Computer Science
Degree: Associate in Arts
Total Units: 93
Class Type: Lecture, Lab, Hybrid
Purpose: The AA degree with Computer Science emphasis is for students interested in transferring to a four-year college or university to complete a bachelor’s degree in computer science. If you are not well prepared in high school math at least through a second-year algebra course (following geometry), you should plan, with your advisor, a three-year program to prepare you for transfer to a four-year college or university. The emphasis in the first year should be on strengthening your math, basic science, communication, and reading skills. The given sequence begins with MATH& 141 - Pre-Calculus I (M) . If possible, start with MATH& 151 - Calculus I (M) . Except for the sequences of mathematics, physics, and English composition, the order in which courses are taken is not important.
It is extremely important that you, the student, identify the institution you intend to transfer to as soon as possible as some computer science programs have specific general education requirements and prerequisites.
Program Outcomes: Upon successful completion, students will have demonstrated the ability to:
- Script static web pages.
- Code dynamic web pages.
- Install and operate simple web servers.
- Install and configure routers in small-scale networks using RIP, OSPF and/or IGRP.
- Install and configure security programs.
- Install and configure TCP/IP protocols.
