AA/AS in Computer and Information Sciences, General

Computer Technology at Long Beach City College covers the technical foundations that modern business relies on. The program helps students build the background and skills to adapt as the field keeps changing, and it connects computing with the handling of multimedia information. The associate degree is supported by a certificate of achievement and several shorter credentials, including cryptocurrency fundamentals and computer information competency. A suggested first-semester course list helps beginners get started, and passing the opening hardware courses qualifies students for a hardware technician certificate. Graduates look toward roles such as hardware technician, programmer, systems administrator and web developer. Students may attend full time or part time, and the degree commonly takes about two years. Required course lists and program maps are posted for each award, so students can plan their schedules ahead of time with a counselor's help.
