Computer Science - Associate of Arts (Major Code - CSC)

The Computer Science Associate of Arts degree is designed for students interested in transferring to the University of Arizona South’s computer science program. To ensure seamless transfer, students must develop their specific program of study in close coordination with a Cochise College advisor and in consultation with a CIS faculty member.

Learning Outcomes

Students who successfully complete this program will be able to do the following:

  • Describe the mechanics of information transfer and control within a digital computer system.
  • Design, code, test, and debug Java programs using object-oriented programming techniques in the command line environment.
  • Design, code, test, and debug medium-difficulty C programs using structured and modular techniques.
  • Correctly employ appropriate utility programs and libraries.
  • Correctly design modular programs.
  • Design and implement combinational logic circuits with SSI elements (AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOR, XOR, and XNOR gates).
  • Use data structures in solving programming problems.
