AA/AS in Computer and Information Sciences, General

This degree gives students a flexible grounding in computer information systems and is organised around a block of discipline courses rather than a fixed sequence. Candidates choose eighteen units of electives, drawn either from the Computer Information Systems offerings or from the courses that certificates in that area require. One cooperative education course may count as an elective but not toward the major itself. Graduates also finish the general education pattern, Cal-GETC or the American Institutions and Kinesiology competencies, and keep a 2.0 overall GPA in degree-applicable work. The catalog lists the program length as 24 months, and federal financial aid approval is shown as in place. Prospective students can read the full course list and a suggested plan of study on the catalog page at Victor Valley College. Because requirements differ between pathways, it makes sense to talk with a counselor early and map out each term before enrolling in courses.
