ASSOCIATE DEGREE PROGRAM IN COMPUTER SCIENCE
Description of the Program
Our Computer Science students are involved in all aspects of computing. They create techniques for computer problem solving (called algorithms), develop software and implement hardware and software. The students take courses that provide a sound basis in "classic" computer science, including programming concepts, languages, algorithms, data structures, databases, management information system, networking concepts, discrete math, computer organization, operating systems, programming language translators, numerical methods and assembly language programming.
The focus is not only on the world of computers but also to inculcate managerial qualities in them we also provide courses such as business ethics, psychology, mathematics, personnel management, statistics, English, economics and computer ethics. For advanced study, they can choose to study distributed operating system, artificial intelligence, object oriented analysis and design, parallel processing, computer graphics and software engineering.
