Outreach & Recruitment
2025-2026 Edition
The field of Computer Science is the study of technology and computation which include methods by which data is accessed and manipulated. This includes representational computation, computer learning paradigms, code constructs, algorithmic modeling, and software development and testing. The Associate in Science for Transfer (AS-T) degree in Computer Science prepares students for transfer to four-year colleges and universities. Students opting for a degree in Computer Science will be prepared to take classes in systems analysis, mathematics, data structures, C++, C#, Python, along with a variety of developing code structures in the cloud or local technologies.  After acquiring the skills in this field, students will be prepared to manage and adjust to new and emerging technologies worldwide.
The Associate in Science for Transfer (AA-T) degree is intended for students who plan to complete a bachelor's degree in a similar major at a CSU campus. Students completing the AS-T are guaranteed admission to the CSU system, but not to a particular campus or major.
To earn this Computer Science AS-T degree, students must meet the following requirements:
Completion of the following major requirements with a minimum grade of "C" (or "P").
Certified completion of the California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC), which requires a minimum of 34 units; and
Completion of a minimum 60 Cal-GETC transferrable semester units with a minimum “C”  grade required in each course. A “C” is defined as a minimum of 2.0 grade points on a 4.0  scale.
Students planning on transferring to a four-year institution and major in Computer Science should consult with a counselor regarding the transfer process and lower division requirements.
