In January 2004, a new Associate of Science Degree in Computer Science (ASCS) was started at Tech to complement the four year BSCS program. The ASCS will prepare students as entry-level programmers capable of writing traditional procedural language programs for dedicated use as well as object-oriented programs. Upon completion of the ASCS program, students will be able to develop web-enabled applications and work with computer networks and databases.
The ASCS program targets students who desire the programming aspect of computer science and do not wish to pursue the upper-level math-based algorithms and scientific programming areas of study contained in the BSCS program. The ASCS program is a 64 credit hour program offered through the Community and Technical College at WVU-Tech by the College of Engineering Computer Science Department.

1. HU/SS must satisfy the college diversity requirements. History 101 and History 102 are suggested.
2. Technical electives must be from the approved departmental list. Students that seek admission to the BS Computer Science program should enroll in Calculus I and Calculus II for theses electives.
3. AS Computer Science Projects is held concurrently with the Senior Projects Course in the 4-year program. This is the capstone course for the program.
4. Refer to Community Service Forms for current citizenship requirements and documentation procedures.
5. Laboratory Science ( must include an 8 hr sequence chosen from CHEM 115,116 or PHYS 201, 202 or PHYS 213,214 or BIOL 111,112. College Physics 201 and 202 are recommended.
