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.
