Computer Science

Arts and Sciences Degree/A.A.

The computer science curriculum prepares students in the transmission of information and provides training about computers and supporting systems and information regarding computer methods.

This program is designed for a student who wants to major in computer science at West Virginia University in either the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences or the College of Engineering and Mineral Resources after attending PSC for one year. The student must transfer after the first year to successfully matriculate into either program. In addition, the student must complete CS 110 and CS 111 in summer school in Morgantown before starting the sophomore year at WVU.

If the student is not capable of entering MATH 155 during the first semester, the student should consider the A.A.S. Computer Information Systems Program. Alternatively, the student could major in General Studies, but should be advised that the required courses must be completed before pursuing a Computer Science degree in Morgantown.
