This degree or certificate is designed for those students interested in computer science,
either as a professional concentration, or for transfer to a four-year computer science
program. Upon completion of this certificate program, students will be able to name
the four basic parts of computer organization and have a working knowledge of assembly
language. Students will be able to describe recursion, linked lists, queues, and stacks
and algorithm efficiency, as well as, procedural, functional, logic and object-oriented
programing languages.
The Associate of Science degree is granted to students who have completed at least
12 semester units of the required 60-degree applicable semester units at Glendale
Community College. The required 60 semester units must include all of the following:
(1) Completion of the courses required in the major or area of emphasis with a grade
