Computer Science - Community College of Philadelphia

Computer Science from Community College of Philadelphia is a Campus Associate Computer Science degree that prepares you for a IT career. The Computer Science curriculum leads to an Associate in Science (A.S.) degree in Computer Science . The primary goal of the program is to prepare students for transfer to a baccalaureate program in Computer Science. The curricular focus is a set of courses concentrating on the skills necessary for the analysis of mathematically-oriented problems and the development of algorithms and data structures to solve those problems using computers. Program Entry Requirements: This program is open to interested students, assuming space is available. However, new students are normally required to take the College's placement test at their time of entry. Students' test results must show readiness for English 101 and at least a grade of ?C? in Math 161 or its equivalent for admission to the program. Those students whose test results identify them as needing developmental course work must complete satisfactorily the appropriate English and mathematics courses as a part of their degree program. Program of Study and Graduation Requirements: Two sets of physics courses are permitted within the program.? This is because some transfer institutions require calculus-based physics, while others have a more lenient requirement. Students who do well in their first-year math courses should be able to handle the 11 credits of calculus-based physics, while those less mathematically inclined may opt for eight credits of algebra-based physics.
