Associate in Applied Science – T Degree
This program is designed to prepare students planning to continue their education at a college or university that offers a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems Management, Software Systems, or related field.
Student Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the Computer Programming degree, students will:
- Debug and troubleshoot programs to identify and fix defects.
- Document software and methods for technical staff as well as end-user.
- Work with a team to design, develop, and test an application.
- Work with local industry partners or on a self-proposed project to apply technical skills and standards.
In addition to the program course requirements, students must also complete the general education requirements for the degree they seek to obtain.
Students pursuing an AAS-T degree for transfer to the University of Washington-Tacoma are required to take additional core academic classes that may or may not be offered at Clover Park Technical College. Please see your instructor for the latest articulation requirements.
Students pursuing an AAT or AAS-T degree must complete all college degree requirements prior to graduation. This includes courses that meet the requirements for diversity, computer literacy, and the capstone project.
