AA/AS in Computer Science

The Computer Science field of study is an associate of science transfer degree designed as the first stage of a bachelor of science. Coursework follows the preparation that four-year computing programs look for in incoming juniors. Students may attend at several campuses or online. An academic advisor can help select the right degree plan and explain how courses fit a receiving university. The college describes a two-plus-two approach: complete the opening two years here, then finish at the public Texas institution of your choice. Credits earned at Lone Star transfer to Texas public colleges and universities, so students should research destination schools and apply to them on schedule. Because the degree is organized as a transfer pathway, it suits students who already know the subject they want to major in and prefer to complete lower-division requirements close to home before moving to a university. Planning with an advisor early helps avoid repeating courses after transfer, and the program page links to degree maps and a list of destination universities.
