Computer Science, A.A.S.
The Associate of Applied Science in Computer Science (AAS CS) gives students a foundation in computer programing and software development and provides academic as well as hands-on coursework in programming, web design, database and SQL, systems administration and network theory. This program will provide students a clear transition to employment in the fields of software development and into the Bachelor of Applied Technology in Software Engineering degree.
WVUP offers students the opportunity to gain work experience while completing their associate in Computer Information Technology through a state-funded program called Learn and Earn. The Learn and Earn program creates partnerships between industry and community and technical colleges by allowing students hands-on learning experience, and employers to train ideal future employees. A few examples of local businesses partnered with WVUP for the Learn and Earn in computer science are iTech, Ntiva, and Westbrook Health Services.
