University Computer Science Preparation Certificate

The University Computer Science Preparation certificate provides the entry-level knowledge, skills and experience required for upper division study in the field of computer science at a four-year college or university. Upon completion of the certificate, graduates will be able to use the syntax and semantics of a programming language; write and debug well-structured programs; demonstrate proficiency in Unix ; design, implement and test simple to moderately complex digital systems; and work comfortably with functional notation.

Graduates may use certificate courses toward an Associate of Science degree.

Courses in each level (Foundation and Core) must be completed prior to advancing to the next level. Where more than one course is offered within a level, courses may be taken in any sequence.
