Build your creative and analytics skills—and your future in the information technologies
field.
MCC’s Computer Science A.S. degree gives you a strong foundation in programming,
problem‑solving, and advanced mathematics - skills that power today’s most innovative
technologies. You’ll learn to think like a computer scientist as you study Java programming,
data structures, computer architecture, discrete math, and calculus, all while developing
the analytical mindset employers and universities look for. By the end of this program,
you’ll be ready to transfer to a four-year college or university with confidence.
In our Computer Science A.S. degree program, you’ll learn:
Apply the software development life cycle — Plan, design, implement, and evaluate
software using structured SDLC methods.
Design and implement object-oriented software — Build applications using classes,
objects, inheritance, and other OOP principles.
Use common data structures effectively — Develop programs that incorporate lists,
stacks, queues, trees, and related structures.
Explain computer architecture concepts — Understand how digital circuitry, hardware
components, and machine instructions work together.
Communicate and collaborate professionally — Present technical ideas clearly and work
effectively in team‑based computing environments.
I chose to attend MCC because it provides a rigorous foundation in quantitative reasoning
at a fraction of the cost of a four-year university,” said Lopez. During his time
at the College, Lopez excelled academically. He consistently earned a GPA above 3.5
and became an active member of the Phi Theta Kappa honor society.
