Overview
The Computer Science A.S. Degree Program at Modesto Junior College is designed to
meet the needs of non-transfer students who wish to acquire the new computer skills
needed in today’s work environment. The Computer Science Program provides students
with a general knowledge of computer literacy and information systems, microcomputer
hardware and software systems, the ability to work with a wide variety of applications
software, and an opportunity to develop programming and problem-solving skills.
Students who wish to major in Computer Science and transfer to a four-year institution
should ask for program planning assistance from a business program advisor. Modesto
Junior College offers a Computer Science transfer major to meet the major requirement
for the associate degree. Transfer institutions vary in lower division (first two
years of college) major department requirements. Meeting the Modesto Junior College
Associate Degree major requirements does not necessarily mean the transfer institution’s
major requirements have been met. Consult a Computer Science faculty advisor for assistance
in determining the appropriate courses for the major you select.
