AA/AS in Computer Programming

This two-year applied science degree trains students to build software and is taught entirely online. Learners practise writing, testing and fixing applications aimed at the web, mobile devices, embedded hardware and databases, along with programs for commerce and business needs. The coursework builds communication habits and structured problem solving next to the technical content. Graduates can work out what an employer or customer needs and then produce software that satisfies it. Everyone enrolled in the program has to purchase a computer of their own. Because the classes run online, students can fit study around other commitments. Graduates who want a bachelor's degree can continue in information systems or cybersecurity at partner Minnesota universities, using what they completed here as a foundation.
