The Associate in Science for Transfer degree 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

Upon successful completion of this program, students will be able to:

Meet the requirements for transfer to a four-year degree program at a CSU in Computer Science.
Demonstrate skills, knowledge, and training for employment as a computer programmer.

General Education

Complete one of the following general education patterns:

Students are advised to double-count courses in the major or area of emphasis to also satisfy general education when possible. Course subject credit will be awarded in satisfaction of both major/area of emphasis and lower division general education requirements, but the units will only be counted once in computing the total number of units for the degree.

Minimum Major Units Required: 29

Complete all courses with a grade of “C” or better.

Minimum Degree Units Required: 60
