The Department of Computer Technologies offers an Associate Degree program for either full-time or part-time study at the Pease Emerging Technologies Center.
The 65-credit degree consists of 26 credits of General Education Core courses, 15 credits of a Technical Core of courses, and a minimum of 24 credits of computer electives. After students complete the core technical courses, it is recommended that students focus on a specific area of technology by taking classes in one of the certificate disciplines offered in the Computer Technologies program. This will allow the students to gain a breadth and depth of knowledge in a given specialty and ensure that he/she develops a marketable set of skills to offer employers in industry.
If students are seeking to transfer to a 4-year program, it is recommended that they consider fulfilling a Liberal Arts Elective requirement with a higher-level MATH course. MATH170 Discrete Mathematics, MATH171 Pre-Calculus and MATH200 Finite Mathematics are suggested as possible options. Students should see their advisor for specific recommendations based on possible future transfer plans.
