It allows students to build a sequence of computer-related courses to satisfy specific skills needed for employment and, upon successful completion, results in the award of the Associate of Applied Science degree.\n\nThis program is not for students planning to transfer. Students are admitted to this major only after they indicate in writing both the occupational objective and specific employment they expect to achieve through completion of the major. While the major is designed for students beginning their collegiate work, students with fewer than sixty credits of collegiate work may enter the major after receiving permission from both an academic advisor from the Computer Science area and the Science, Technology, Engineering \u0026 Mathematics Academic Dean. Students will be admitted to this major only after they indicate both the specific occupational objectives they expect to achieve and a specific sequence of courses that will be taken. This written plan will be used to determine graduation eligibility. Any changes in this sequence must be approved, in writing, by the Science, Technology, Engineering \u0026 Mathematics Academic Dean.\n\nPositions that might be available, depending on courses chosen, are those that often combine the skills of two or more computer-related areas, such as:\n\n* programmer/web developer\n* web master/developer\n* network administrator/developer\n\nBased on the choice of courses, graduates of this program are able to\n\n* interpret, analyze, and solve problems using a computer;\n* adapt to changing technology; and\n* work effectively as a team member to plan and implement solutions to computer related problems."},"ceterms:occupationType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://www.onetcenter.org/taxonomy.html","ceterms:targetNode":"https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/11-3021.00","ceterms:codedNotation":"11-3021.00","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Standard Occupational Classification"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Computer and Information Systems Managers"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Plan, direct, or coordinate activities in such fields as electronic data processing, information systems, systems analysis, and computer programming."}},{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://www.onetcenter.org/taxonomy.html","ceterms:targetNode":"https://onetonline.org/link/summary/15-1211.00","ceterms:codedNotation":"15-1211.00","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Standard Occupational Classification"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Computer Systems Analysts"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Analyze science, engineering, business, and other data processing problems to develop and implement solutions to complex applications problems, system administration issues, or network concerns.
