The Computer Programming degree includes general topics in programming as well as focused topics related to one commonly used programming language. General topics include the use of an operating system and systems analysis. Programming language specific topics include syntax, program structuring, language constructs and proper programming methods.

Career Opportunities: Upon completion of the computer programming degree, a student has the minimum qualifications as an entry-level programmer/developer.
