PCC's Computer Science program is a two-year transfer program for students who desire a four-year degree in computer science. Students complete a minimum of 97 credit hours at PCC and then transfer to a four-year institution to complete the final two years of their degree.
With PCC’s computer science program, you can work on just about anything dealing with computers: animating computer games, designing software or anything else. Plus, with a burgeoning job market – and since almost every employer can use people with computer science degrees – a career in computer science is always in demand.
Please note: PCC does not offer a specific degree in Computer Science. However, talk with an advisor if you are interested in earning an Associate Degree while studying Computer Science and preparing to transfer to a four year institution.
