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.
