This TCC degree is designed for students who intend to transfer to a baccalaureate institution to major in Computer Science or some other closely related field.

Many classes required for this degree are offered only once or twice a year. Students should work closely with a TCC advisor to plan their programs of study.

The Associate of Arts in Computer Science degree satisfies the General Education requirements of most Washington baccalaureate institutions (four-year colleges and universities). Students who transfer with the Associate of Arts in Computer Science degree may be required to complete some additional requirements during their junior and senior years as required by individual institutions. Students should review the requirements at their intended transfer institution to minimize the number of such additional requirements.

Admission to computer science programs is competitive. Completion of the Associate of Arts in Computer Science degree does not guarantee admission into a computer science program. This pathway intends to provide students with the information needed to optimize their coursework to earn a DTA degree and to prepare for computer science and related majors at Washington baccalaureate institutions.

Students pursuing this degree are strongly advised to contact their potential transfer institutions early regarding the specific course choices in each area of the degree. In addition, students should check with their potential transfer institutions about minimum GPA requirements, possible higher minimum GPA requirements in selected subsets of courses, and minimum grade requirements in specific courses.
