Programmer - PROG.AS

This program is an option to the associate degree program in Computer Information Technologies.

Beginning in the Spring 2009, all entering CIT majors taking one or more CIT courses during the day will be required to purchase a Dell laptop that satisfies certain minimum specifications. The specifications will be provided students when they are accepted so they can determine whether they have a laptop that meets the requirements. In the event they don’t, a link will be provided to the Dell website so that students can purchase a computer directly from the company. Dell will accept Master Card/Visa or will also try to arrange a payment plan.

Upon the successful completion of requirements for this program, the degree of Associate in Science in Computer Information Technologies will be awarded.

  1. Understand Computer Information Technology concepts in the context of real-world problems
  2. Have expertise in several programming languages.
  3. Can interface programming languages with Web Applications.
  4. Understand how programming languages work with databases.
  5. Can communicate effectively, both orally and in writing.
  6. Can conduct research from a variety of sources.
