Computer Science Transfer (DTA MRP) Pre-Requisite Flow Chart
Start by meeting with your advisor to determine which course to take first based on your placement scores.
Math Pathway
DVS 080: College Transitions Math → MATH 094: Intro to Algebra → MATH 099: Intermediate Algebra I → MATH&146: Intro to Stats
Math-Calculus Pathway
MATH 099: Intermediate Algebra I → MATH&141: Pre-Calculus I → MATH&142: Pre-Calculus II → MATH&151: Calculus I → MATH&152: Calculus II → MATH&163: Calculus III (W, Sp) → MATH&254: Calculus IV (F) or MATH 230: Differential Equations (Sp)
MATH&152: Calculus II → MATH 220: Linear Algebra (W)
Computer Science Pathway
MATH 099: Intermediate Algebra I with CS 111: Intro to Programming (F)
MATH&141: Pre-Calculus I with CS&141: Computer Science I – Java (W) → CS&142: Advanced Programming w/ Java (Sp)
Engineering Physics Pathway
MATH&151: Calculus I → PHYS&221: Engineering Physics I (F) → PHYS&222: Engineering Physics II (W) → PHYS&223: Engineering Physics III (Sp)
English Pathway
ENGL 99: English Skills + CSS 106: Reading Skills → ENGL&101: Composition I → ENGL&102: Composition II or ENGL&235: Technical Writing (W, Sp)
KEY: F = Fall, W = Winter, Sp = Spring, Su = Summer
- Decide on your transfer school as early as possible
- Get to college-level math as soon as possible.
- MATH&151 is strongly recommended in the first year for most transfer colleges.
Fall, Winter, Spring, or Summer
Currently, degree can be completed online (all 4 CS classes are offered online, and this assumes that the other gen ed required classes are available online). Hybrid offerings also available.
95+ Credits = 6 Quarters* if you take 15-20 credits each quarter
*Your specific route may take longer than 6 quarters depending on the number of credits you take each quarter and where you start in your math and English pathways.
A computer science bachelor’s degree prepares students to work in careers such as software development, computer programming, and scientific computing
The Associate in Computer Science DTA/MRP degree prepares students for transfer to a four-year university to complete a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science. Graduates may be able to transfer with junior status with all or most prerequisites for the computer science major completed. Since programs differ at each college, students should consult program outlines in the catalog of the college or university to which they plan to transfer. Students should prepare their quarterly schedules with the assistance of an advisor knowledgeable in the transfer area and the requirements of the intended college or university.
