AA/AS in Computer and Information Sciences, General

The A.S. in Information and Computer Science is a two-year online route into computing. It suits students aiming for entry-level technology work or planning to move on to a bachelor's degree. Students build programming skill in Python, C and Java, learn algorithmic thinking and object-oriented design, and are introduced to writing software securely. Mathematics courses in algebra, trigonometry, discrete topics and statistics support the technical work. The emphasis falls on problem-solving and critical thinking, which carry over into many technical roles. In total the curriculum comes to 60 credit hours, and students complete it entirely online. Park presents the cost as comparable to public universities, and prospective students can request information or start an application directly from the program page. Graduates leave with career-oriented preparation that supports direct entry into the workforce or later study toward a higher credential.
