Associate of Science Degree in Computer Science (9110)
The Associate of Science in Computer Science degree is part of Ohio's Guaranteed Transfer Pathways (OGTP) program. The OGTP provides a clear path to associate degree completion and then to bachelor’s degree completion in a related major. By following an OGTP, you can ensure that you are taking coursework that will not only transfer but apply to your desired degree at your transfer institution. Majoring in Computer Science involves design and innovation developed from computer principles. It focuses on the theoretical foundations of computing, algorithms, and programming techniques, as applied to operating systems, artificial intelligence, informatics, and other emerging areas. Computer scientists should be prepared to work in a broad range of positions involving tasks from theoretical work to software development, Computer science programs typically require a significant math background.
