ASSOCIATE IN SCIENCE FOR TRANSFER (AS-T)

Upon successful completion of the Associate in Science in Computer Science Transfer degree, students will be able to:

• apply structured and object-oriented approaches to the design and implementation of software systems
• use data structures and algorithms to solve a variety of problems
• design, implement, test, and debug computer programs using a structured language, a low-level language, or an object-oriented language.

This degree is for seamless transfer to CSU.
