Computer Science - A.A. Degree (Transfer)
APPLICATION CODE 33
For curriculum information, contact the Business and Computer Systems Division—Room DH 239—443-518-1520.
The growing emphasis on technology has increased the demand for programmers in a diverse range of application and systems development environments. This curriculum prepares students for programming in environments such as engineering, scientific employment, government, and education. The computer science program emphasizes algorithm/modular design, structured programming techniques, program debugging and structured walkthrough skills, and group interaction. This curriculum has been designed to fit with similar programs at Towson University and the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC).
Suggested Semester 1
Students need to choose a transfer institution first in order to determine the programming languages and science core path.
Suggested Semester 2
Suggested Semester 3
| CMSY 110 | Computer Concepts, Applications, and Ethical Considerations | 3 |
| CMSY 156 | Introduction to Python | 3 |
| MATH 220 | Discrete Structures | 3 |
Science Core - Select one of the following:
| BIOL 141 | Foundations of Biology I: Cells, Energy, and Organisms | 4 |
| CHEM 101 | General Inorganic Chemistry I | 4 |
| PHYS 110 | General Physics I (Calculus) | 4 |
Select from the following:
Students who intend to transfer to UMBC should complete a total of three Science Core courses, and therefore should choose a Science Core course here.
For the third Science Core course (if chosen), select a different science discipline.
