Associate of Science in Computer Science
The two-year program is designed to meet the needs of students who plan a career in computer science or whose career area requires extensive first-hand knowledge of computer science. Together, the basic curriculum and electives afford the students considerable flexibility in planning a degree program to meet their career objectives. The program requires at least 60 credit hours.
Bachelor of Science in Computer Science – Information Systems Option
The Information Systems Option may be broadly defined as curriculum designed for students who seek employment in business or industry after graduation, or who may pursue a graduate degree in management information systems. Within this option the student may select courses to prepare for careers in areas such as application programming, business systems design and implementation, and data processing management. The program requires at least 123 credit hours.
Bachelor of Science in Computer Science – Science/Mathematics Option
The Science/Mathematics Option may be broadly defined as a curriculum designed for students who intend to work in the more technical areas of software applications development or who intend to pursue a graduate degree in computer science. Within this option students may select courses which prepare them for careers in areas such as systems software design and scientific computing applications. Requires at least 123 credit hours.
Certificate in Information Technology
The Information Technology Certificate is a 29 credit hour program that can be completed in one year. Requirements of the program can be used to continue toward the Associate of Science or Bachelor of Science degrees.
On completing the certificate, students will be capable of understanding, troubleshooting, and managing computing resources as well as software design logistics and programming in one or more computer languages.
