The Computer Science/Business Program (Associate of Applied Science) is designed for students with an interest in computer science and its application in business. With the current trends to outsourcing and contracting for the provision of computing resources in business, it is imperative that computing practitioners have a strong grounding in business and business practices. These practitioners need entrepreneurial skills as they will often have to establish themselves as independent consultants and compete for contracts. This degree is intended to prepare students to compete in this market. Co-op is required of each student in the degree program. Co-op contributes to the overall skill development which builds self-confidence, maturity, and the ability to work independently.

The Computer Science/Math Program (Associate of Applied Science) provides each student with a background in the principles of computing and their applications in software and systems. Students are provided real-life experience together with the development of a sound basis in theory. Students work individually and cooperatively, on projects designed to foster an understanding of basic theoretical principles. Whether you plan to enter the computing industry per se or only to use computing as a tool for other purposes, the program prepares each student for great preparation for the future. Co-op is required of each student in the degree program. Co-op contributes to the overall skill development which builds self-confidence, maturity, and the ability to work independently.

A Certificate in Computer Science is designed for individuals seek upgrading or retraining in areas related to computer science.
