Computer Science, AS

Program Description

The student will learn to solve problems from an algorithmic or computational point of view. Software systems, information technology and "big data" are deeply embedded in the fabric of our everyday life. Computer science has grown from a specialized field to an independent, broadly based area that studies all aspects of the use and understanding of software systems, information, and computational processes. In addition to numerical calculations, the field includes such topics as network analysis, graphics, modeling and simulation, parallel computation and artificial intelligence. CWC provides the successful student a background of coursework aimed at facilitating transfer to a four-year institution for completion of a baccalaureate degree program.
