Computer Science, AS-T

The Associate in Science in Computer Science for Transfer has been designed as a seamless pathway for students who plan to attend a California State University (CSU) and major in Computer Science.

Upon completion of the program, graduates will be able to:

• Demonstrate the ability to understand the ethical, mathematical, and physical concepts that under lie computer science.
• Apply knowledge of computing and mathematics appropriate to the discipline.
• Demonstrate the ability to understand the different levels of abstraction that comprise computer science.
• Analyze a problem and craft an appropriate algorithmic solution.
• Create efficient, working computer programs that use fundamental programming constructs to solve real-life problems.
• Function effectively as a member of a team to accomplish common goals.
• Engage in continuous learning as well as research and assess new ideas and information to provide the capabilities for lifelong learning.

Program Learning Outcomes

1. Students will meet the requirements for transfer to a four-year degree program at a CSU in Computer Science.
2. Students will demonstrate skills, knowledge, and training for employment as a computer programmer.
