Computer Programming
Many students are not interested in transferability, but rather mobility into the job market, with the career goal of a programmer. This degree strongly emphasizes programming and includes Java, C++ and Visual Basic. These are languages routinely used by computer programmers. Students will be well prepared for entry-level positions in programming or computer operations.
For additional information, please contact department chair, Dr. Otto Hernandez.
Upon Completion of this program students will be able to:
- Develop computer programming in Visual Basic, C++, Oracle SQL and Java;
- Investigate information systems with respect to their existence and develop needed informational improvements within an organization;
- Perform basic managerial functions such as organizing, staffing, directing, planning and controlling;
- Use a microcomputer for functional and analytical purposes;
- Describe various positions of employment in the informational technology profession;
- Communicate effectively in both written and oral forms
