Option for Concentrated Study & Proposed Courses of Study
This proposed program of study is offered as an example on how to structure a course pathway for your degree plan. This proposal assumes full-time enrollment for a 2-year Associate of Applied Science degree. The order of CIS courses takes into account prerequisite requirements, programming language commonality conflict, and courses only available in specific semesters. Every student’s situation is unique and may require a different approach than the pathway below. Always attempt to take the CIS courses in the presented order. The course sequence is the most important consideration, especially if you are not on full-time status. There are several courses in the curriculum offered during Summer terms, and most courses are offered in both campus lecture and Internet formats through the year. The General Course requirements are listed in the JSCC Catalog/Student Handbook.
