AA/AS in Computer Programming

This associate of applied science concentration at Lehigh Carbon Community College prepares students to write software. Graduates are expected to program applications for desktop computers, web environments, and mobile devices using several different languages. Students also learn to design databases so that applications can store and retrieve lasting data, and they practice project management methods and recommended development habits across their projects. Representative courses include structured C++ programming, client-side scripting, Java, Visual Basic.Net, and Unix server-side scripting. The program sits within a career pathway that continues to the game and simulation development track, an associate of science option offered at the college. A computer information systems faculty member coordinates the degree and can answer questions from prospective students. Career pathway information on the page lists the next degree step.
