the necessary background for the employment of
computers in their chosen careers whenever the need
should arise; and to provide any interested student
with a basic knowledge of this dynamic aspect of
modern society.
A. A. Degree — Computer Science
An A. A. degree program in computer science is of-
fered as an alternative to the four-year program. The
two-year program provides a basic survey of compu-
ter science and permits the student to acquire pro-
gramming skills necessary for employment in elec-
tronic data processing.
The following courses are required for the As-
sociate Degree in Computer Science:
Humanities 1
