Graduates of the associate’s degree program in computer science will have the skills in computer programming required for transfer to California State University, University of California, and other universities for career paths in computer science, software engineering, computer engineering, and related fields. The curriculum includes instruction in the fundamentals of problem-solving and analysis, programming, data structures, and computer architecture. Students who complete the Associate Degree in Computer Science are encouraged to continue their education and earn a bachelor’s degree.

Students who are interested in transferring after completion of this degree program should consult the “Transfer Information” section of the catalog and discuss their plans with their program advisor or counselor. To not duplicate course work, it is recommended that students try to satisfy the requirements of the transfer institution as well as those of City College. To substitute another class because of specific requirements of the transfer institution, consult with the Computer Science Department Chair.

Universities may have additional or different lower-division course requirements before transfer. Students need to check the particular institution for their requirements. Students should pay particular attention to which programming series they take (CS 110B + 110C or CS 111B + 111C), as different universities may prefer or require one series over the other. The website www.assist.org can provide information about applicable courses for transfer to satisfy degree requirements. Some universities will require math and/or physics classes beyond those required here, and those additional classes can be taken at CCSF.
