Computer Science Associate in Arts (CMPSC-AA)

This field leads to employment in technical computer-related jobs such as programmer or systems analyst. The AA program meets prerequisites for transfer to the University of West Florida B.S. in Computer Science (Computer Science option) program as well as similar programs at other universities.

Students should consult with an advisor at the college or university they plan to attend for the specific courses recommended by that institution.

We strongly encourage you to contact the Pensacola State College Computer Science Department for assistance in planning your program of study.
