Computer Science Transfer 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 problem-solving, 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 New Jersey Institute of Technology, Rutgers University and other public and private colleges and universities.

What will I learn if I study Science Transfer?
You concentrate on the theoretical and applied sciences, and mathematics. Your studies prepare you to meet the challenges of advanced study in professional careers.
Are there any requirements I must satisfy before I start taking courses in my 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. You must also have a grade of "C" or better in algebra II, geometry, laboratory chemistry and one additional year of laboratory science.
How long will it take for me to complete this degree?
If you do not need developmental coursework, and you register for an average of 16 credits each semester, you can complete the degree in two years. You can shorten the amount of time by taking courses in the summer and winter sessions.
