Notes
*Credit students who are new to college (no successfully completed transferable college credits from other institutions) are required to take ACDV 101 - Academic Development: Transitioning to College . This 1-credit course is designed to be taken in the first semester at CCBC. Students must provide an official transcript(s) from an accredited institution to document successful completion of college coursework for the ACDV 101 requirement to be waived.
**Check with transfer institution for Math and Science requirements.
Program Description
This degree program provides opportunities for students who wish to continue their studies at a four-year institution in fields such as computer science, computer information sciences, or information systems management. Students who choose this curriculum and desire to transfer courses should speak with the program coordinator. The courses in this curriculum are designed whereby it is assumed that the student has a background that includes algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. Students who do not meet these requirements can take the required prerequisite courses at CCBC after placement testing.
Program Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this degree, students will be able to:
- Transfer to a four-year institution for a degree in Computer Science, information management, or related fields.
- Manipulate data and implement elementary data structures such as arrays, linked lists, and structures.
- Design and implement control structures to handle branching and repetition. Perform searching and sorting algorithms.
- Assemble and link programs and use compilers.
- Design and compare the complexity of algorithms.
- Develop well-written and documented programs.
- Implement an object-oriented programming language.
- Represent data using dynamic lists and perform traversal and optimization algorithms on them.
