Telecommuting is a growing segment of the job market, especially for contract programmers. Sacramento has over 600 companies that hire computer scientists because their business is a high technology business. For example, a degree in Computer Information Science includes 60 units of college work. Thus, it is not necessary to own a computer to complete a program in Computer Information Science. Programming classes tend to be 18-weeks in length.
New classes begin every six to nine weeks.
Thus, you may start a program in computer information science almost any time. After completing 12 units of college work with a grade point average of 3.0 or better, you may petition to challenge course work that you believe you already have mastered. Professors will evaluate your background preparation and decide whether or not to offer the challenge examination.
