Mission Statement

The Computer Science (CS) Department aims to:

Prepare our students for transfer to four-year college or university Computer Science (CS) programs where they can earn a baccalaureate degree or greater.
Provide our students the CS skills necessary to obtain entry-level positions in computer science and/or programming.
Provide our students the CS skills necessary to obtain high level REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates) and internships.
Provide CS training across the curriculum, with particular focus on other STEM fields (engineering, science, and math).

The department is continually updating and fine-tuning its programs of study.

The Computer Science Transfer Option prepares students to transfer to four-year college CS programs across the United States and also prepares them for well-paid entry level careers and internships as computer scientists and programmers.
