On-Line Course Recommendations:
It is recommended that all students taking on-line courses should have high-speed Internet connections. The software used by on-line sutdents may come bundled with the course textbook, and/or be available on-line. Some on-line courses will require a student to purchase the software necessary to complete the course.
Computer Recommendation:
A student seeking a career in the computer programming profession should have a home computer with an Internet connection. Students will have to have access to a computer and the internet in order to write programs, analyze problems, make presentations, write reports and submit assignments in online courses. Many assignments cannot be completed without access to a computer. While the College provides access to computers, in open labs, these labs are not available at all times. Students are strongly urged to purchase a computer that can run the current version of Microsoft Windows, has at least two processing cores with speeds of at least 2.8 GHz, with 4 GB of RAM memory, and a 250 Gigabyte hard drive. The Computer Science Department currently uses Microsoft Visual C++.NET as its main development environment.
Note:
**Students may take any approved MAT course with 3 or more credits.
The program may take more than two years to complete depending on a student’s academic background. Preparatory courses are offered for students not meeting entry requirements into the regular Computer Science program. Courses taken to meet prerequisite requirements will not count as credit towards the Computer Science degree. Students can attend full-time or part-time, both day and evening.
