Degrees and Certificates
Associate of Science in Computer Science for Transfer
This degree prepares students for transfer to 4-year colleges and universities for
upper-division coursework in the study of information systems, their representation,
architecture and implementation. Students in the computer science program study and
apply their knowledge of mathematics, physics and logic to solve a variety of problems
using current technology. Coursework includes programming languages and concepts,
systems analysis, mathematics, physics, computer hardware and data structures. The
program is suited to the needs of students who will complete their education at Chaffey
College with an associate degree, as well as those students who will complete their
Chaffey associate degree and then transfer to a Cal State University school to complete
their bachelor's degree.
Program Learning Outcomes:
Upon the successful completion of this degree, students should be able to:
1. Evaluate basic theories of software design and operation, project management, databases,
and computer architecture.
2. Express and implement algorithms using a variety of notation, programming languages,
and paradigms.
3. Assess computer science solutions/information systems and debug computer programs.
4. Demonstrate the knowledge and skills necessary for transfer to four-year college
or university programs in Computer Science.
5. Demonstrate the knowledge and skills necessary for entry-level employment in the
field of computer science.
