Computer Science (A.S.)

Major Note to Advisors

The Computer Science Pathway is recommended for students entering with Math Level 8 or above, as the Introductory Programming classes typically have a Math level 10 pre-requisite. If an incoming student is between Math Level 1-6, the student may be more successful and more timely in selecting the Information and Networking Technology (IN01) program, as the program only requires MTH 140/165 to be completed math-wise. The Computer Science program, in contrast, requires MTH 210,211,220, and *MTH160, so many more “bridge” math courses would need to be completed, affecting the number of semesters required to successfully graduate.

Curricular Requirements

Required equipment/supplies

• CS Program, yes. Pathway, no.

Portfolio requirements

• None

Capstone projects

• CS Program, yes. Pathway, no. Note: Very few Computer Science courses can be attempted without meeting Math prerequisites. Recommend Information and Network Technology pathway to students, as there is less of a Math requirement for courses.
