Concentration in Computer Science (AST2)(Plan Code: PHST2AS, Subplan Code: COMPUTRSCI)
Academic Plans, known as programs, include an overview description and a summary of program requirements. You can search the online catalog via the Academic Plan links on the right for a desired program or a specific course information.
Requires students to complete minimum of 90 quarter hours of transferable credit/units with a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.00. In order for a student to be junior ready in Computer Science at specific transfer institutions, there are additional credits/units beyond the AST2 credit/unit requirements for this degree that a student need to consider. Please consult your faculty adviser to learn more and to develop your education plan (www.engrcs.com/schedule). The minimum required credits/units are distributed as follows:
| Code | Title | Credits/Units |
|---|---|---|
| General Education Requirements | ||
| Communication Skills | ||
| ENGL& 101 | English Composition I | 5 |
| Quantitative Skills 1 | ||
| MATH& 151 | Calculus I | 5 |
| MATH& 152 | Calculus II | 5 |
| Humanities & Social Science 2 | 15 | |
| Coursework should be planned with the help of an advisor based on the requirements of the specific discipline at the baccalaureate institution the student selects to attend | ||
Additional 5 (five) credits/units in either Humanities or Social Science | ||
| Pre-Major Program Requirements (minimum of 25 credits/units) | 25 | |
Any 5 (five) credit/unit Biology (BIOL/BIOL&) Class with Lab 3 | ||

Program Outcomes
Program outcomes are overarching skills that are emphasized and reinforced throughout several courses in a specific program; they are measurable statements that define what students should know or be able to do by the end of a certificate or degree at Clark College. After successful completion of this program, students will be able to:
- Demonstrate understanding of the derivative as an instantaneous rate of change and the definite integral as a limit of a sum.
- Apply fundamental principles and relationships from the Natural Sciences to analyze technological or scientific problems.
- Apply scientific and technological knowledge and methodologies to creatively solve technological or scientific problems.
- Demonstrate progress toward healthier behaviors. (GE)
- Obtain, evaluate, and ethically use information. (GE)
- Acquire scientific and technological information from appropriate sources to examine issues, claims or situations.
- Analyze and solve multi-step problems using techniques through single-variable calculus.
- Articulate well-considered ideas and written claims to an academic audience, using effective rhetorical techniques, properly credited evidence, and a command of Standard English. (GE)
- Interpret the human experience, within appropriate global and historical contexts, through evaluation, analysis, creation, or performance. (GE)
- Evaluate, analyze, and explain events, behaviors, and institutions using perspectives and methods in the Social Sciences. (GE)
- Analyze patterns of power, privilege, and inequity in the United States. (GE)
- Analyze and interpret quantitative information presented verbally, graphically, numerically, and/or symbolically. (GE)
- Apply communication theory to demonstrate effective oral communication skills. (GE)
- Demonstrate and clearly explain an effective strategy to solve a quantitative problem. (GE)
