AA/AS in Computer Science

The computer science associate of science gives students a grounding in programming, problem solving and how computer systems work. Full-time study takes two years, and the degree is designed for transfer into a bachelor's program. Classes meet at the Bethlehem campus on either a full-time or part-time basis, and selected courses are offered online, so learners can adjust their load around work and family. Advisors help students pick courses that move smoothly to four-year schools. Past transfer destinations named by the college include Penn State, Drexel, Lehigh, Kutztown, East Stroudsburg and Moravian. Both campus and online formats are mentioned. Northampton Community College is a Pennsylvania two-year college with campuses in Bethlehem and the Poconos, and the program page invites prospective students to request information or apply online.
