Mission
The mission of the Computer Science Associate in Science program is to prepare students for successful transfer into a four-year Computer Science Program, by educating them in Programming, advanced Math and SUNY General Education requirements. By providing a well-rounded educational experience with small classes and attentive faculty, students will obtain the fundamental skills in computer architecture, structured and object-oriented programming, problem solving, as well as the critical thinking, analysis and reasoning skills from advanced level mathematics courses. Students will be well-prepared to transfer into a baccalaureate program and obtain careers in computer science.
Program Learning Outcomes
- Demonstrate a fundamental understanding of algorithms, data structures, software design, concepts of programming languages, and computer organization and architecture, and an awareness of the evolution and dynamic nature of the foundational core of computer science.
- Demonstrate the ability to analyze and solve computing problems.
- Demonstrate understanding of discrete mathematics, differential and integral Calculus, and probability and statistics.
- Demonstrate the ability to communicate effectively, both orally and in written form, and work in a team environment.
- Demonstrate familiarity with basic concepts, emerging technologies, and contemporary issues relating to the societal impacts of computing.

Notes
A student seeking a career in the computer industry should have a personal computer with an internet connection. Students will have to have access to a computer and the internet on campus and the necessary software to complete all assignments. 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 8 GB of RAM memory, and a 500 Gigabyte hard drive. |
