 Return to: Degrees and Certificates
The Computer Science Associate of Science degree is designed for students interested in software programming and design. Within New Mexico, the courses in this Program transfer best to New Mexico Institute of Mining and Tech (NM Tech). Some courses from this Computer Science Program may transfer as electives to computer science or computer technology programs at other higher education institutions. Those wishing to transfer to a four-year degree program in computer science or computer engineering are strongly advised to check the appropriate university catalog and to talk with a member of the university program or Registrar’s office to determine which of the SJC Computer Science Program courses will fulfill program-specific requirements at the transfer institution. Also, consider taking courses in a foreign language while at San Juan College since many university Schools of Arts and Science require a foreign language.
Prerequisite courses must be completed prior to the courses listed below (e.g., MATH 160 and MATH 180 prior to MATH 188 ). In general, however, it is suggested that students complete the New Mexico Transfer Module as outlined below. Student must earn a grade of C or higher in all COSC courses for the course to count toward a degree.

General Education Requirements
Mathematics
According to the NM Engineering Transfer Module, the entry-level College Math Course for a Computer Science Program is Calculus I. Students’ Accuplacer score for Mathematics will determine their placement in the Math sequence, beginning with MATH-115 Intermediate Algebra-Applications through MATH-188 Calculus I . Students who place at the beginning of the Math sequence will need to complete 11 additional credit hours of coursework to complete the degree requirements.
Total General Education Requirements: 36-47
Note(s):
** You need to be able to use a computer, type, create documents, save files, etc. before taking COSC 118 . If your computing skills are low you should take COSC 097 concurrently.
*** Read the current catalog of your intended transfer degree institution to take the most appropriate laboratory science courses. Any San Juan College approved laboratory science course may be substituted as deemed appropriate by your computer science advisor. This course also satisfies General Education laboratory science requirement. For information about NM Tech go to www.nmt.edu, NMSU www.nmsu.edu and Fort Lewis www.fortlewis.edu.
Suggested Course Sequence Full-time Students:
Students who for any reason are unable to follow the suggested course sequence should contact an academic advisor for help with adjustments.
