Transfer Track/Computer Science (CMPSC‐AA)
Guy Garrett , Advisor - Technology Building 769-1551 x 2817
Computer Science
AREA OF CONCENTRATION: The purpose of this transfer track is to provide students the opportunity to gain knowledge in the disciplines necessary for a career in computer science. A four year degree could lead to employment in an industrial or financial field, a government agency, a secondary college, or a university. Examples of employment include the development of software, working with robotics, the space industry, programming, sophisticated graphics such as animation and interior design, networking computers, and development of expert systems. Students are encouraged to become familiar with the admissions requirements at the university they plan to attend. Some of the schools in Florida have a limited access to computer science. Students in these schools must achieve at least a 2.5 GPA in all college work and must have completed a State of Florida Common Course Prequisites with a grade of "C" or better in order to be considered for entrance.
