Suggested Course Sequence
Associate in Science (A.S.) Degree - Computer Information Systems (67 Credits required)
The program prepares students for entry-level jobs within computer programming in all types of computer environments. It is important to note that increasingly, entry- level jobs in computing demand a four -year computing degree. Students earning this degree should become well prepared for transfer to four-year degree programs in Computer Information Systems or Management Information Systems.

Associate in Applied Science ( A.A.S.) Degree in Computer Support Services
( 66 Credits required )
This program focuses on Computer support and applications. As personal computers and networks take over the tasks once done by mainframe computer systems, there is increasing demand for people trained in Microcomputer Support services. People in this area provide “Help desk” support, perform hardware and software installation and maintenance, and customize software applications.
