The Computer Science curriculum is offered by the Mathematics Department. It is designed primarily for students planning to transfer to a four-year degree program in computer science. Students will exhibit the ability to apply higher level math concepts to the applications within Computer Science. This program also prepares students for employment in the computer science field for positions such as systems analyst and computer programming. This program provides the student the opportunity to:
- Understand the fundamental concepts of mathematics as related
to programming
- Learn the required analytical and critical thinking skills
The graduate of this program will be able to:
- Write computer applications programs in a variety of languages.
- Solve problems when working on group projects with a team of
students.
- Design high level software.
- Measure efficiency of different computer science techniques.
- Communicate and articulate topics within computer science.
- Find, organize, and present information effectively using technology.
