What You'll Study in our Computer Information Systems Program

First you'll get an introduction to the basics of computer and web programming, then get some context with economics issues and a variety of electives to round out your education. After that you’ll move into more advanced, hands-on work with information systems, security, servers, and data analysis.

Finish your associate degree with a capstone project to demonstrate what you've learned. Most of your credits will transfer if you’re going from DCC to a four-year program, so please choose your classes in consultation with your advisor.
