Associate in Science degree - Computer Science
Catalog 2009-2010
The associate in science in computer science is designed as a two-year curricular pathway that offers students a broad general education while integrating an in-depth study of computer science. Students will be prepared to assume entry-level positions in business and industry. Many of the courses are also applicable toward advanced levels of study. Students who intend to transfer to a four-year program in computer science should consult with a counselor regarding other mathematics and science requirements. To earn a degree, students must complete each course used to meet a major requirement with a "C" grade or better. Certain courses may satisfy both a major and a DVC General Education requirement; however the units are only counted once.
