AA/AS in Computer Programming

Programming and Analysis is an associate degree aimed at entry-level roles such as computer programmer, internet programmer, web master and site developer. Students work in several languages, among them C++, C#, Java, Python, JavaScript and MySQL, along with current HTML and CSS and other scripting tools, covering both client-side and server-side technologies. The curriculum is updated regularly so it stays aligned with new tools. Graduates may continue into the bachelor's program in Information Systems Technology. There are no admission requirements, and prep courses are open to students below college level. Books and lab fees are extra. Prospective students are encouraged to speak with an advisor about sequencing, since planning ahead helps them stay on track toward finishing. Anyone weighing this option can look into scholarships, financial aid and veteran support offered through the college to help cover expenses.
