The Computer Information Systems program prepares students for any occupation that involves computer applications, database, technical and customer support services, web authoring/developing, Internet information researcher/architect, and upgrading job skills. The curriculum also provides valuable computer experience and training for students who are enrolled in other disciplines of the College. A.A./A.S. degrees and certificates are offered. (Also see Business, Computer Science, Computer Service Technology)

The Computer Integrated Electronics curriculum was revised and updated to meet employment demands. There are two Associate Degree concentrations and four certificate options.
The Computer Technology Concentration for the Associate Degree provides the practical knowledge and experience to install, program, and maintain business computing equipment, or the computer controlled electro-mechanical equipment used for measurement and control during product manufacturing. The Electronics Technology Concentration provides the practical knowledge and experience to troubleshoot and repair electronic analog and digital electronic equipment at the component level.
In the certificate patterns a student may choose the option that will meet a particular vocational skill requirement. The Mechatronics Concentration provides the practical knowledge and experience in mechanics, pneumatics, hydraulics, electronics, programming and computer control.

Patterns are available that provide knowledge and experience in Optical Communications Technology, Linear Electronics Technology, and two levels of Computer Technology. (Also see Computer Science, Computer Information Systems and Computer Service Technology)

The Computer Science curriculum prepares students for careers in computer programming and for transfer to state colleges and universities for further study in computer sciences or information science. The curriculum offers students both the theory and practical experience for entry level positions of employment. There are computer courses for non-science majors as well as science majors. Students should consult a counselor and the appropriate college catalog for transfer requirements. (Also see Computer Information Systems, Computer Integrated Electronics and Computer Service Technology)

The Computer Science curriculum meets the Data Processing Management Association mode curriculum for undergraduate computer information systems education.

The Computer Service Technology curriculum prepares students for entry into careers in information technology fields such as computer technician, network administration, and database administration. There are two associate degree or certificate concentrations and two certificate-only concentrations.
Many of the courses in this area of study are intended to prepare students for related industry certificates, such as Microsoft's MCSE and CompTIA's A+ certificates. These classes combine academic studies with hands-on practical assignments to ensure that students understand the systems they will be supporting. These are not exam-cram courses simply focused on learning the right answers, but lead students through the processes required to learn the "how's" and "why's" behind the answers.
Many of the courses are transferable to the CSU system and students planning to transfer should work with a counselor to ensure all requirements are met. Students working toward an A.A. or A.S. degree must fulfill General Education Requirements and should consult with counselors and faculty to select courses that will best enhance their area of interests.
