AA/AS in Computer Programming

This Associate of Science is a university-transfer plan for people who expect to major in computer science, information systems or computer engineering after leaving Grayson. It follows a sixty-hour roadmap that includes the state-required core of forty-two hours. Programming forms the technical spine, running from a first fundamentals course in the opening term through two further programming courses and a class on machine-level organization. Calculus, pre-calculus, algebra-based math, history, government and lab science fill out the remaining hours. Because each four-year school sets its own prerequisites, the department asks students to meet with a faculty advisor in computer science and with their target university early and often. Choices for the science component should be approved by the faculty mentor in the department.
