COMPUTER SCIENCE (CPS) (HEGIS 5101)

This program is recommended for transfer students planning to earn a baccalaureate degree with a major in computer science. Students should have completed at least Sequential Math Course III in high
school.

The Associate in Science (A.S.) is awarded upon completion of the requirements for this program.

Students who successfully complete the CPS program will:

• Understand the principles of programming and will have experience
  programming with a high level programming language.
• Have the academic coursework in mathematics, science and general
  education to successfully transfer to a four year Computer Science
  program.

Courses should be selected in consultation with an advisor.
