Overview
This program is designed to prepare students who wish to transfer to a CSU and major
in Computer Science. This program will provide students with an alignment of courses
required for transfer and a cohesive group of courses in the area of Computer Science.
Courses such as programming, discrete structures, computer architecture and organization
will enable the student to demonstrate ability to engage in critical thinking and
problem-solving in the application of computer science principles. The Associate of
Science in Computer Science for Transfer degree includes curriculum which focuses
on practical application of problem solving skills and theory.
Students who complete the degree will be able to demonstrate competence in the
application of computer science. The Associate of Science in Computer Science for
Transfer is intended for students who plan to complete a bachelor’s degree in Computer
Science at a CSU campus. Students completing this degree are guaranteed admission
to the CSU system, but not to a particular campus or major.
Students transferring to a CSU campus that does accept this degree will be required
to complete no more than 60 units after transfer to earn a bachelor’s degree. This
degree may not be the best option for students intending to transfer to a particular
CSU campus or to a university or college that is not part of the CSU system. In all
cases, students should consult with a counselor for more information on university
admission and transfer requirements.
