Computer Science Emphasis
Associate of Science
This is a two-year transferable program leading to an associate
of science with an emphasis in computer science. Computer
science encompasses the methodology, tools, techniques, and
theory of information derivation, storage, manipulation and
communication. All courses recommended will partially satisfy
the bachelor of science in computer science and engineering at
the University of Nevada, Reno.
Emphasis Outcomes
Students completing the emphasis will:
• Have the ability to apply knowledge of computing and logical
reasoning necessary to analyze a problem and identify,
formulate and use the appropriate analytical skills to obtain a
solution.
• Have the ability to design and implement a computer program
to meet desired specifications for a problem.
• Have the ability to communicate and work effectively on a
team to achieve a common goal.
