Computer Science, ASG3 Eligible Program- Qualifying students may have ZERO costs for tuition, fees, and textbooks.
PURPOSE: This two-year degree prepares students to transfer to a four-year college and major in computer science. CREDENTIALS: An Associate of Science (AS) degree is a major related to an area such as business administration, engineering, science, and social sciences that takes two years for full time students to complete. Students receiving an AS degree intend to transfer to four-year colleges. TRANSFER INFORMATION: This program is aligned with the Transfer Virginia common curriculum for Computer Science. Students should consult with their advisors to ensure that they select general electives that best prepare them for the specific requirements of their intended transfer college or university programs of study. More information can also be found at www.brightpoint.edu/academics/transfer/ and by using the Transfer Virginia Portal https://www.transfervirginia.org. Students planning to transfer to VT for Computer Science should complete the Engineering AS. PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS AND SPECIAL CONDITIONS: Students must meet Brightpoint admission requirements. New students should work with their New Student Navigator to get ready for their first semester. They can also email getstarted@brightpoint.edu for assistance. Because transfer requirements will vary based upon the intended transfer institution, students must meet with their faculty advisor to develop a schedule that best suits their goals. PROGRAM OUTCOMES: By the completion of this program, students will be expected to demonstrate an intermediate level of competency in the following skills:
