Computer Science - Associate of Science (Major Code - CSC)
The Computer Science Associate of Science degree prepares students for transfer to a university program in computer science. 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:
- Demonstrate mathematical proficiency at the Calculus III level.
- Create solutions to typical information systems problems.
- Correctly design modular programs.
- Correctly design assembler language programs.
- Apply Java language structures.
- Test and debug Java programs.
- Design and implement combinational logic circuits with SSI elements (AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOR, XOR and XNOR gates).
- Design and implement combinational logic circuits with MSI elements (multiplexors, decoders, adders, comparators, multipliers, tri-state buffers), and programmable logic devices (PLDs).
