DCCCD
ASSOCIATE OF SCIENCE DEGREE WITH A FIELD OF STUDY IN COMPUTER SCIENCEThis plan is an official Field of Study Degree approved Degree Code: AS.FS.COMP.SCI.18 This degree plan is designed to meet the needs of students who plan to major in Computer Science and transfer to a four-year college or university. The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board approves the field of study in Computer Science included in this degree. This degree plan will constitute a semester credit hour transfer block to any public Texas four-year college or university with a Computer Science Major. Transferring students shall not be required to repeat courses transferred as part of the field of study curriculum. Completion of the field of study curriculum shall not prevent a receiving institution from requiring additional lower-division courses that may be necessary for specific degree programs. Because of the complexity of requirements, student must plan very carefully and work with an advisor/counselor. In order to be eligible to receive this AS degree, a student must:
It is recommended that students complete the math sequence, physics sequence, and computer science sequence at the same institution to reduce the likelihood of potential gaps in the curriculum. This degree does not include all Core Curriculum course requirements. |

TOTAL CREDIT HOURS REQUIRED FOR THIS AS DEGREE |
60 |
Note: State universities are required to accept only 60 hours in transfer; therefore, it is strongly suggested that students check with their receiving university regarding the acceptance of any credit hours over the 60-credit-hour maximum. Students may have to make a choice between completing the Field of Study or the degree.
Student's transcript will indicate the Field of Study has been completed upon successful completion of the following courses: COSC 1436, 1437, 2425 and 2436; 2413 and MATH 2414; PHYS 2425 and 2426; .
1 MATH 2412 has the prerequisite of MATH 1316, which has the prerequisite of MATH 1314 or equivalent.
2 MATH 2413 has the prerequisite of MATH 2412.
3 MATH 2414 has the prerequisite of MATH 2413 or equivalent. Some universities require the completion of MATH 2415 as well; MATH 2415 has the prerequisite of MATH 2414.
4 PHYS 2425 has the prerequisite of MATH 2413.
5 PHYS 2426 has the prerequisite of PHYS 2425 and MATH 2414.
6 COSC 1436 is not part of the Computer Science major requirements at The University of Texas at Austin, University of Texas at Arlington, University of Texas at Dallas, and Texas A & M University.
7 COSC 1437 has the prerequisite of COSC 1436. COSC 1437 is not part of the Computer Science major requirements at The University of Texas at Austin. Preparatory courses such as COSC 1436 and COSC 1437 will assist students that need additional background but do not apply toward the computer science major requirements.
8 COSC 2425 has the prerequisite of COSC 1436. COSC 2425 is not part of the Computer Science major requirements at The University of Texas at Austin or Texas A & M University, but may be applied to general degree requirements.
