ASSOCIATE IN SCIENCES DEGREE WITH A the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. Available at Brookhaven, Cedar Valley, Eastfield, Mountain View, North Lake, and Richland Colleges Degree Code: AS.FS.COMP.SCI This degree plan is designed to meet the needs of students who plan to major in Computer Science and transfer to a four-year college or university. The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board approves the field of study in Computer Science included in this degree. This degree plan will constitute a semester credit hour transfer block to any public Texas four-year college or university with a Computer Science Major. Transferring students shall not be required to repeat courses transferred as part of the field of study curriculum. Completion of the field of study curriculum shall not prevent a receiving institution from requiring additional lower-division courses that may be necessary for specific degree programs. Because of the complexity of requirements, student must plan very carefully and work with an advisor/counselor. In order to be eligible to receive this AS degree, a student must:
It is recommended that students complete the math sequence, physics sequence, and computer science sequence at the same institution to reduce the likelihood of potential gaps in the curriculum. |

Student's transcript will indicate the Field of Study has been completed upon successful completion of the following courses: Math 2414 and 2513; Physics 2425 and 2426; Computer Science 1436, 1437, 2425 and 2436.
1Mathematics 2513 has the prerequisite of Mathematics 2412, which has the prerequisite of Mathematics 1316, which has the prerequisite of Mathematics 1314 or 1414, which has the prerequisite of two years of high school algebra and an appropriate assessment score or Developmental Mathematics 0099 or 0093.
2 Physics 2425 has the prerequisite of credit or concurrent enrollment in Mathematics 2513.
3 Physics 2426 has the prerequisite of Physics 2425 and credit or concurrent enrollment in Mathematics 2414.
4 Computer Science 1436 is not part of the Computer Science major requirements at The University of Texas at Austin, University of Texas at Arlington, University of Texas at Dallas, and Texas A & M University.
5 Computer Science 1437 has the prerequisite of Computer Science 1436. Computer Science 1437 is not part of the Computer Science major requirements at The University of Texas at Austin. Preparatory courses such as Computer Science 1436 and Computer Science 1437 will assist students that need additional background but do not apply toward the computer science major requirements.
6 Computer Science 2436 has the prerequisite of Computer Science 1437.
