The Computer Science major has been developed for the student intending to transfer for a four-year degree in Computer Science and/or Gaming Development. It also serves to provide career enrichment for the working professional. It provides an excellent foundation in computer programming languages, problem solving tools, and mathematics through calculus. The gaming track being provided offers an entrée into one of the many excellent and emerging bachelors programs in game development and interactive simulation.

The need for qualified computer programmers, software developers & system administrators continues. Experienced Computer Programmers are needed for research, engineering and many phases of medical & associated health sciences.

The Associate in Science degree in Computer Science requires:
• English proficiency: English 1A, ESL 26, or equivalent.
• Mathematics proficiency: Math 103, 105 or equivalent.
A minimum of 90 total units including:
• all General Education requirements
• Core courses (35 Units)
• Electives (19-20 Units)
• other graduation requirements as appropriate
