Program Brochure

The Computer Science Technology Program equips students with the variety of skills needed for a career in software development or other information technology fields. In our computer labs, through hands-on learning, students work with software systems, build mobile and web applications, gain proficiency with databases, and learn how to be an effective teammate. ÆßÐDzʿª½±â€™s Computer Science teachers pride themselves on teaching the skills to keep up with a fast-paced, constantly changing field. The program concludes with an internship, which helps launch students into a successful career.

I walked out of this program with hands-on coding experience and strong knowledge of industry-standard concepts. It opened so many doors for me!
