Computer science courses develop skills in designing, writing, and modifying computer programs to accomplish a wide variety of tasks in all areas of business and industry. Students take these courses:

to Prepare for a Major at a four-year institution. A typical BS graduate in computer science might start as a programmer on a team, advance to team leader, and eventually be promoted to systems analyst, designing entire program systems. The college offers coursework which parallels the first two years of a BS degree in Computer Science Engineering at ASU. CSC coursework should include:

CSC 100	Introduction to Computer Science (or programming in high school)
CSC 120	Degital Design Logic
CSC 200	Principles of Computer Science
CSC 210	Data Structures and Algorithms
CSC 226	Assembly Language Programming
CSC 240	Introduction to Different Programming Languages
MAT 227	Discrete Mathematical Structures

Note: Students should consult with a departmental advisor in planning their schedule in order to complete requirements in an expedient manner.

	as Background for other Careers. CSC 181 (Applied Problem Solving with BASIC) is recommended for non-computer majors who have a choice in their baccalaureate degree program among CSC100, 181, or 183.
	to update and improve professional programming skills. The CSC150, 178, 185, 230, 250, 260 and 281 courses are designed for industry professionals (and students) who wish to update and expand their professional skills in this fast-changeing profession.
