� Design and implement a relational database withsupporting applications;

� Demonstrate multi-user database processing onLANs in client-server systems;

� Demonstrate object-oriented design techniques uti-lizing encapsulation, abstraction, inheritance, andreusability; and

� Utilize computer software applications used inengineering such as spreadsheets, word process-ing, and basic programming.

Why major in Applied Computer Science?Students wishing to pursue management or otherbusiness oriented positions in the information tech-nology field should consider Applied ComputerScience. The computer science courses in theapplied program are the same as those in the com-puter science program, but the science and mathe-matics requirements are less theoretical. Due to therapid growth in computer technology, there areabundant employment opportunities for A.S. gradu-ates. Typical entry-level positions include: Technicalsupport specialist, network technician, databaseapplication specialist, PC technician and help desktechnician. ECC’s Applied Computer Science pro-gram is designed to prepare students to transfer toa four-year institution as well as to directly enter theInformation Technology field.

If I major in Applied Computer Science, can I transfer to an upper division college or university?Yes. The Applied Computer Science program pre-pares students to transfer to institutions offering aB.A. degree in Computer Science, a B.S. degree ina less theoretical computer science program, or aB.S. degree in Information Systems.

Are there any requirements I must satisfy before I start taking courses in my major?All new students must take a basic skills competen-cy test. Based on the results of the test, you maybe required to take developmental courses in read-ing, English, and/or mathematics.

How long will it take for me to complete this degree?If you do not need developmental coursework andyou attend full time, you can complete the degree intwo years. Part time students can complete the pro-gram in three or four years.
