Computer Science, AS


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Program, Degree and Certificate List in Alphabetical Order

The Computer Science Department in the School of Mathematics, Computer Science and Engineering conducts a program designed for students who are developing computer programming skills in preparation for transfer to a four-year college or university. Courses are intended to meet the needs of students at various levels of competence, from the novice to the expert. The department acquaints students with the presently available methods of computer science that are useful in solving problems of science, industry, and government; prepares students for the additional formal education and self-education required in this ever-developing field; and fosters students’ abilities to solve computer science problems. This degree differs from the AS-T in Computer Science because it offers a more general program in computer science that prepares students for transfer to University of California campuses, private and out-of-state universities.

Total Units Required: 24


To earn the associate degree:


See Earning an Associate Degree  for associate degree graduation requirements.

To transfer:


Courses required for the associate degree major at IVC may not be the same as those required for the major at a four-year school. If you plan to transfer, consult a counselor to identify the courses needed for the major at your transfer school and to develop a plan that will best meet your goals. View more information about transfering at Transfer to a Four-Year Institution .

Guided Pathway


About This Roadmap: 

Below is a suggested major roadmap from discipline experts. This roadmap, based on IVC’s 2018-2019 course catalog, will give you an idea of the suggested order of classes you need to take to complete this degree at IVC; however, please make sure to meet with an IVC counselor to personalize your My Academic Plan (MAP) and verify courses according to the catalog year appropriate to your enrollment. In addition, students who plan on transferring to a university should speak with a counselor to review courses needed, as major course requirements for transfer may be different from the suggested list.

About Guided Pathways:

Guided Pathways is a state- and nation-wide initiative to help students enter an area of study pathway, help them stay on their path, and provide them with the information and support they need to complete their academic goals in a timeframe tailored for them.
