The Computer Science program is both comprehensive and flexible, providing students with several career options and paths in the computer science and information systems fields. The curriculum introduces students to networking systems, information systems technologies (Internet and Website design), and computer programming, as well as, integrating these courses with a relevant core of general education electives.

Graduates who successfully complete the program will be awarded an Associate Degree in Computer Science and can either enter the workforce prepared for jobs, such as PC support specialist, network and server administrators, Website designer, Internet/Intranet support staff, and programmer, or they can choose to further their education by transferring credits to baccalaureate programs in Applied Computer Science or Computer Science. Students who choose to continue on to four year institutions are encouraged to select the higher-level mathematics and physics as an elective. All applicants to the program must satisfy the general requirements for admission to the college, possess high school or college credits in English, mathematics (math at the level of precalculus is preferred) and two lab sciences. The evening degree option will take more than 2 years to complete.
