Plan of Study

The following is a plan of requirements to complete this Associate of Science degree in two years. Each student’s experience will vary slightly, as this plan does not include transfer work, Advanced Placement (AP), or other institutions’ concurrent enrollment credits. Math and English placement will be based on the student’s appropriate placement scores. If developmental courses are required, they should be taken in the student’s first semester.

This plan uses Computer Fundamentals and Software Development Certificates of Proficiency as examples. Computer courses will vary based on the chosen CPs. Students must complete 2 CPs and the General Education courses to meet the requirements for the Associate of Science degree.

NOTE: This plan assumes the student is prepared to take the courses listed. If prerequisites are required, additional semesters may be required to complete this degree.

Meet with the Academic Program Advisor and consult DegreeWorks for specific degree requirements.

Advising Notes:

It is the student’s responsibility to examine each course description for the details of recommended and prerequisite classes. Students with significant work experience or background knowledge may wish to contact the CSIS Academic Advisor to determine if they have sufficient prior experience for success in a particular course.
Summer classes are recommended. CSIS 1020 , CSIS 1122 , CSIS 1129 , CSIS 1200 , and CSIS 1400 are the only CSIS courses offered during the summer.
Students going on to obtain their bachelor degree will also need math through MATH 1220 Calculus II .
