Computer Programmer (CCC)

This certificate is part of the A.S. Computer Programming and Analysis degree.

This certificate program is designed to prepare students for entry-level program development and analysis in the computer environment. The core courses provide introduction to the computer, applications used on the microcomputer, and training in programming language, procedural logic, and design. The computer languages are introduced in a progressive delivery starting with structured programming (sequential, iteration, and decision making) used in procedural language, and then progressing to object-oriented language and visual language. Students currently employed in the field can supplement and upgrade their skills through a variety of offerings in programming languages, system analysis, and applications. Credits earned in this certificate also apply to the A.S. Computer Programming and Analysis.
