General Studies - Computer Science Specialization, AA&S


These programs are intended for transfer purposes. It is important that any student interested in transferring to a four-year college or university consult with his/her academic advisor.

Award: Associate of Arts and Sciences

Length: Four-Semester (Two-Year) Program

Purpose: The College and University Transfer program is designed for students who plan to complete a baccalaureate degree program at a four-year college or university, or who are not yet prepared to select a definite career objective.

Admission Requirements: The student must meet the entrance requirements established by the college. Students are urged to check the mathematics requirements of the four-year college or university to determine the proper mathematics course to be taken at the community college. In addition, they should contact the appropriate four-year institution to determine the transferability of elective courses.

Program Requirements: Specific courses required for the Associate of Arts and Sciences degree are intended to provide a balanced foundation in liberal education.

Note: Although a course fulfills a requirement for an NRCC program, it is possible the course will not fulfill a requirement at a four-year institution. Students who plan to transfer need to determine the four-year institution’s requirements prior to course selection. General transfer information is available at www.nr.edu/transfer/.

Footnotes:


  1. Students should confirm math requirement at 4-year transfer institution. Although a math sequence fulfills the requirements for an NRCC program, it may not fulfill the math requirement for the student’s intended major at a four-year institution. Students who plan to transfer need to determine the four-year institution’s math requirement prior to course selection.

    Students should take MTH 174  or MTH 176 if planning to transfer to Radford University’s Computer Science and Technology degree Computer Science or Networks concentrations.

    Mathematics Sequences: The Mathematics requirement may be selected from the following sequences.
  1. Students may choose from college approved Social Science electives .
  2. Students may choose from college approved Humanities/Fine Arts electives .
  3. The Natural Science requirements may be selected from the following: BIO 101 -BIO 102 ; CHM 111 -CHM 112 ; PHY 201 -PHY 202 ; PHY 231 -PHY 232 .
  4. Students may choose an IT elective and should determine transfer institution’s requirements prior to selection of IT electives. For example, choose a network class for a networking concentration, choose a web design class for a web development concentration, choose course ITP 251  for a software engineering concentration and choose a database class for a database concentration.
