Software Development Program Description |
This proposal presents a new Software Development A.A.S. degree that will bridge the gap between the Information Systems A.A.S. and Computer Science A.S. degrees by providing a program that will prepare students for in-demand entry level programming and software development careers. The degree will provide students with marketable skills upon completion to enter the work force while also providing some flexibility for students who intend to transfer to a four-year institution. The A.A.S. program will utilize existing courses in the Information Systems A.A.S., Information Services Technology: Web Developer, and Computer Science A.S. programs. The program intends to provide traditional face-to-face courses complimented by offerings that are hybrid or fully online by form. |
