Computer Science: Computer Systems option, Associate of Science
Students who successfully complete all Computer Science emphasis, Associate of Science degree requirements will be able to:
- Write programs using object-oriented data structures and object-oriented design; apply procedural programming paradigms to computer programs, and identify problems and design solutions to those problems.
- Develop algorithms to solve computer related problems and use various data structures as problem-solving tools. Those data structures will include arrays, stacks, queues, linked lists, trees and hash tables.
- Work effectively and communicate in a professional environment, both in writing and verbally, to solve problems within a group, a team and individually.
- Be prepared to transfer to an Oregon four-year school as a junior in the Computer Science program.
