Description

The Associate of Science Oregon Transfer with a focus in computer science meets lower-division general education requirements of baccalaureate degree programs of any Oregon public university and provides junior status for registration purposes.

The focus area was created through collaboration between members of the Oregon Council of Computer Chairs, which includes Oregon community college faculty/administrators and Oregon public university computer science chairs/faculty. The degree provides general guidelines for a computer science major. However, grade point average and course requirements are not guaranteed to have been satisfied with this degree. Students are encouraged to refer to the catalog of the specific institution to which they plan to transfer to ensure accuracy of academic planning. Students are also encouraged to contact an adviser at the transfer school as soon as possible.
