Computer Science: A.S.-T
Earn an Associate Degree for Transfer in Computer Science
The Associate in Science in Computer Science for Transfer (A.S.-T Computer Science)
prepares students to transfer into the CSU system. Please consult a counselor regarding
specific course requirements for your transfer institution. Completion of the Associate
in Science in Computer Science for Transfer (A.S.-T Computer Science) also provides
guaranteed admission with junior status to the CSU system, although does not guarantee
acceptance to a specific campus or major. Upon completion of the A.S.-T in Computer
Science, students will be well-versed in the use of standard computer control structures
to solve problems and develop algorithms. They will have developed skills in writing
programs that utilize functions as a method of program organization and control. Additional
areas of emphasis will include objects, object-oriented programming, data structures,
and abstract data types. Computer science students will also obtain knowledge of computer
architecture and organization. The Computer Science curriculum also requires the student
to have significant skills in mathematics and the applications of those skills to
real world problem solving.
