This program map from the 2024-2025 catalog year represents one possible pathway to complete this program. Your pathway may vary depending on your transfer plans and also previous college credit, including AP Test scores, concurrent enrollment courses and high school articulated courses.

I'm ready to get started. What do I do next?

  1. Review this program map to get an overview of the required courses
  2. Meet with a counselor to develop your customized student education plan www.chabotcollege.edu/counseling
  3. Use DegreeWorks, an online student education planning tool, to track your progress toward graduation www.chabotcollege.edu/admissions/degreeworks

The AS in Computer Science is designed to provide the foundation in Math and Computer Science needed for subsequent transfer to a Computer Science program at a 4-year university, and the core courses listed below fulfill MOST of the lower division requirements for transfer. Students should note that transfer-course requirements vary among universities, and between majors in Computer Science.

Students are encouraged to meet with a STEM Counselor and to consult the ASSIST webpage (www.assist.org) for more information on transfer-course agreements between Chabot College and the CSU/UC Computer Science programs.

Computer science majors have access to many careers, including: Programmer, Software Developer, Software Engineer, Front-End Web Developer, Back-End Developer, Full-Stack Developer, Android Engineer, iOS Engineer, Quality Assurance Engineer, computer security, cryptology and cryptography, game design and development.

Critical Course Prerequisite for Other Courses Prerequisite Required Required for Major GE General Education

All students are strongly advised to consult with a Chabot STEM Counselor to develop an individualized Student Educational Plan (SEP) that is tailored to your specific degree and transfer goals.
