AA/AS in Computer Science

Computer science at Northwest Vista College is aimed at people who want to start work as software developers. Students learn foundational principles and then apply them by building software applications. The intent is that completers have the skills and understanding needed to do well in the computer industry. The same curriculum works as a stepping stone for anyone planning to continue into a bachelor's program in computer science at another school. Included courses come from the computer science field of study approved at the state level by Texas's higher education coordinating agency, which helps credits move to Texas universities. The program page links to course listings, helpful resources, faculty and staff, labs, and the application. Prospective students can use the program page to find contacts and next steps, and they should speak with an advisor to confirm how courses fit their degree plan and transfer goals.
