Program Learning Outcomes
The goal of this program is to provide the first two years of a Computer Science baccalaureate degree program for the students who wish to transfer to a four-year program in Computer Science. The core curriculum will provide foundations in programming and problem solving, data representation and algorithms, object-oriented programming, computer organization and assembly language programming fulfilling the core competencies of critical thinking and information technology. Although this program is primarily designed for students to transfer to a four-year program, after successful completion of this program, students will also find job opportunities in computer science and information technology area.
Students who have completed the program should be able to:
- Learn fundamental principles, theories and analytical skills to solve computing problems throughout the program
- Analyze, design, choose the interface, coding, test, and debug to effectively develop error-free computer programs
- Learn computer architecture, software design, and programming that are most widely used in engineering, science, and technology-related fields
- Identify, formulate, and solve problems and learn to adapt to evolving computer languages, systems, and industry standards
- Identify, formulate, and solve problems and learn to adapt to evolving computer
Enrollment Instructions
The Computer Science A.S. is eligible for the 3+1 Program on the Glocuester campus only.
The 3+1 Program is an innovative partnership between Rowan College of South Jersey and Rowan University. This option allows students to save money by remaining at RCSJ to complete their junior year after earning an associate degree. Students then transfer to Rowan University to complete their senior year and graduate with a bachelor's degree.
Education Unique to Each Student
My experience at RCSJ has been very community oriented. My participation in the STEM club has been invaluable. I've also made other connections, like at Rowan University and Princeton University, offering one-of-a-kind research opportunities.
