Associate in Applied Science in Computer Information Systems with a major in Computer Information Systems Technology. After graduation, students may seek employment, complete a specialization in Networking Systems Technology or Computer Engineering Technology or an additional AAS degree in Electronics, or can pursue transfer possibilities to earn a bachelor's degree at a four-year institution. Students who do not meet these English and math requirements must enroll in the college Developmental Studies program to gain proficiency in these areas. This curriculum provides technical and practical training in programming, analysis, networking, application software, and web page design. Additional courses in mathematics, business, English and the humanities serve to enhance the applied instruction.
Students learn through classroom lectures, laboratory applications and an internship program.
Due to the dynamic nature of information systems technology, students are advised to consult with their faculty advisor or Student Support Services to not only plan their degree program but to determine available certifications and specializations. Upon satisfactory completion of the four-semester program, the graduate will be awarded the Associate in Applied Science Degree in Computer Information Systems with a major in Computer Information Systems Technology. Students who desire transferable credits must take ENG 111 and SPD 110 in place of ENG 137. Recommend PSY 120 and ECO 120.
