Computer Science
A.S. Degree (Transfer)
Provides a core of courses which enables the student to transfer to a four-year
college and major in computer science. The program is designed to give broad
coverage of both mathematics and computer science which is comparable to that
offered in the first two years of a four-year college’s computer science major with
an emphasis on object-oriented design and programming.
• Students must complete their credit
English and Mathematics
within the first
24 credits.
• One course must meet the
cultural competence graduation requirement.
• CORE: The General Education CORE
is that foundation of the higher education
curriculum providing a coherent intellectual experience for all students. Students
should check with an advisor or the transfer institution (ARTSYS) before selecting
General Education CORE requirements.
http://artsys.usmd.edu/• In some General Education categories (Mathematics, Biological & Physical
Sciences), a 4-credit course selected from the GenEd course list will satisfy the
requirement in place of a 3-credit course. Students should check with an advisor
before selecting these courses.
• For the PE/Health & Nutrition requirement, a 3-credit Physical Education or Health
course may satisfy the requirement in place of a 1-credit course. Students should
check with an advisor before selecting this course.
• Students must earn a grade of "C" or better in ENGL 101.
