Computer Science
The Computer & Information System option leads to the Associate in Applied Science Degree in Computer Science. Students learn object oriented programming in C++ or Java and event driven programming in Visual Basic, client/server architecture, analysis & design of database systems, networking technologies, Windows and LINUX System Administration. Through a cooperative education program, students can gain work experience and earn college credits during their studies at Middlesex County College.
What will students learn if they study Computer Science?
Students learn on PC's running the DOS, Windows, and LINUX operating systems. They learn several programming languages and administration of both LINUX and Windows system. Students develop problem-solving and communication skills using modern information processing techniques.
Are there any requirements students must satisfy before taking courses in the major?
Algebra II is a prerequisite for all majors. Algebra II competency must be verified with a passing score on the College's placement test. Students must also have a grade of "C" or better in algebra II and geometry.
Why major in Computer & Information Systems - Network Administration & Support Option?
Network Administration and Support Option of the CIS program leads to the Associate in Applied Science Degree in Computer Science. Students learn Network Administration of Windows and LINUX Operating Systems. Problem solving skills are taught through the use of the object oriented programming language C++ or Java and the event driven programming Visual Basic. This program prepares students to take the certification tests for a PC Hardware operating systems technology, networking and security and Microsoft Windows MCP (Microsoft Certified Professional). Through a cooperative education program, students can gain work experience and earn college credits during their studies at Middlesex County College.
How long will it take to complete this degree?
Students who do not need developmental coursework can complete the degree in two years. They can complete the certificates in one year. Students can shorten the amount of time by taking courses in the summer and winter sessions.
