Overview
The Computer Science A.S. Degree Program at ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏAPP is designed to
meet the needs of non-transfer students who wish to acquire the new computer skills
needed in today’s work environment. The Computer Science Program provides students
with a general knowledge of computer literacy and information systems, microcomputer
hardware and software systems, the ability to work with a wide variety of applications
software, and an opportunity to develop programming and problem-solving skills.
Students who wish to major in Computer Science and transfer to a four-year institution
should ask for program planning assistance from a business program advisor. Modesto
Junior College offers a Computer Science transfer major to meet the major requirement
for the associate degree. Transfer institutions vary in lower division (first two
years of college) major department requirements. Meeting the ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏAPP
Associate Degree major requirements does not necessarily mean the transfer institution’s
major requirements have been met. Consult a Computer Science faculty advisor for assistance
in determining the appropriate courses for the major you select.
