Students successfully completing an Associate in Computer Science for Transfer degree will be prepared to transfer into the CSU system to continue toward a B.S. in Computer Science or a similar major. The transfer degree is designed in accordance with the statewide Transfer Model Curriculum to ensure a smooth transition to the junior level of the designated major at a CSU. There are 8 required courses for the transfer degree including two consecutive high level programming courses that introduce students in software development, one low level programming course that teaches students about computer (hardware) architecture and organization, one computer math course that focuses on discrete structures, two consecutive math courses on single variable calculus, and two consecutive physics courses in calculus-based physics.

To earn this degree complete the major coursework listed here with “C” grades or higher and the following graduation requirements:

• 60 CSU transferable units;
• the IGETC pattern;
• and a 2.0 minimum overall CSU GPA.

Courses used in the major may also be counted in the general education areas. Courses used for this major may also be used to earn other degrees at VVC.
