UMT’s computer science program is comprised of a two-year, lower-level Associate of Science in Computer Science (ASCS) and a follow on two-year, upper-level Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BSCS).

A maximum of 75 percent of the required credit-hours for either degree may be transferred toward either program and 25 percent of the credit-hours may include credit for relevant professional and work experience.

ASCS PROGRAM

The ASCS offers courses for students who are high school graduates or have passed the General Educational Development (GED) test, and who perhaps have completed some courses either at an appropriately accredited college or in the armed forces.

The ASCS program requires the successful completion of 60 semester credit-hours of instruction at the lower level (freshman and sophomore years), including a minimum of 15 semester credit-hours of general education courses.

The core studies include both practical and theoretic courses, ranging from an introduction to personal productivity applications using microcomputers, to the Internet and HTML, to an overview of management information system, to the formal design and development of computer programs, and to actual programming in Java. General education courses are included that are designed to broaden a student’s educational foundation. They include courses in such areas as communications, English, government, history, psychology, sociology, mathematics, and statistics.

The ASCS provides a strong foundation in computer science and related disciplines for students entering the BSCS program.

ASCS Degree Requirements

The curriculum is divided into three areas:

• Core courses (30 semester credit-hours)
• General Education (15 semester credit-hours)
