Program: BIS.AS - Associate in Science Degree
The Computer Science Transfer program leads to the Associate of Science degree and prepares students to transfer to public and private four-year colleges and universities in computer science. Students study topics in computer science such as problemsolving, object-oriented programming using Java, and computer architecture. Calculus, natural science, social science, and humanities are also studied. In the past, many of our students have successfully transferred to the New Jersey Institute of Technology, Rutgers University and other public and private colleges and universities.
Below are required courses and recommended course groupings and sequences for program completion.
OR
Students enrolling in Precalculus I (Part A) are required to enroll in Precalculus I (Part B) in a subsequent semester.
AND
Students enrolling in Precalculus I (Part A) are required to enroll in Precalculus I (Part B) in a subsequent semester.
Choose one course designated in the course descriptions as General Education Humanities (GE HUM).
OR
Students enrolling in Analytic Geometry and Calculus I (Part A) are required to enroll in Analytic Geometry and Calculus I (Part B) in a subsequent semester.
AND
Students enrolling in Analytic Geometry and Calculus I (Part A) are required to enroll in Analytic Geometry and Calculus I (Part B) in a subsequent semester.
Select one course from CSC-116, CSC-130, CSC-133, CSC-161, CSC-162, CSC-258 or CSC-261.
Students may take a 4-credit elective. However, if the total credits exceed 64 upon graduation, all credits may not transfer. Students are encouraged to consult with a departmental advisor for proper elective selections based upon desired colleges to transfer to.
OR
Select one course from BUS-201, BUS-202, MGT-210 or MKT-201.
Students may take a 4-credit elective. However, if the total credits exceed 64 upon graduation, all credits may not transfer. Students are encouraged to consult with a departmental advisor for proper elective selections based upon desired colleges to transfer to.
OR
Students must select courses with the GE MST designation and with the BIO, CHM, PHY and SCI course codes.
Students may take a health elective in place of a physical education course. However, if total credits exceed 64 upon graduation, all credits may not transfer.
They concentrate on the theoretical and applied sciences, and mathematics. These studies prepare students to meet the challenges of advanced study in professional careers.
Algebra I is a prerequisite for all majors. Algebra II competency may be verified with a passing score on the College’s placement test. Students must also have a grade of “C” or better in high school algebra II, geometry, laboratory chemistry and one additional year of laboratory science.
The Statewide Transfer Agreement for New Jersey ensures that students who earn an A.A. or A.S. degree at a community college will have those credits fully transferable to a New Jersey public four-year institution, will have completed half of the credits required for a basic four-year degree and will have completed all of the lower division general education requirements. In addition, articulation agreements with private institutions may provide similar transfer provisions. Students should discuss the transfer process with an advisor.
Once students complete developmental coursework (if needed), the degree can be completed in two years of full-time study. They can shorten the amount of time by taking courses in the summer and winter sessions.
