Advising Notes
The recommended courses listed are designed upon degree completion to enable a student to be eligible to
transfer to a four year university in Computer Information Systems or a related field. CPS electives include any CPS course except CPS100. Check your receiving institution to determine best credit transfer options, and seek the advising from STEM advisors.
Courses are listed in the recommended order you should take them.
Many courses have prerequisite requirements that must be fulfilled to be eligible to enroll in the course.
If you intend to graduate with an associate degree in two years, you should enroll in at least 15 credits if taking only fall/spring courses.
Completing 30 credits each year helps students stay on track to timely graduation.
Taking classes in the winter intersession and summer can accelerate your time to degree completion.
All student degree audits for graduation purposes will be based off the official program of study the student is enrolled in.
