The Computer Science curriculum is designed to prepare students to transfer to a Computer Science or related curriculum at a four-year college. The curriculum has a strong emphasis on programming theory, object-oriented programming, and data structures utilizing a modern programming language. Graduates are prepared to transfer to a four-year college at the full junior status, continue their studies in a more specialized area of Computer Science, and/or develop software.
The goals of this program are to:
- prepare students to understand basic principles of algorithms and computer language;
- prepare students to develop software; and
- prepare students to evaluate the internal design and function of a modern computer system and how data is represented within the system.
Successful graduates from this program will be able to:
- utilize various programming constructs in the development of algorithms;
- identify and implement appropriate algorithms to solve specific computer applications;
- identify and explain the internal design elements in a modern computer system.
