The need for people with the skills to write computer software and understand programming languages continues to grow. Computer Science is a series of four semester courses which can be taken in sequence (recommended), or as stand-alone classes.
Computer Science I - 2 semester-based courses
- Introduction to Computer Programming (offered semester 1) provides students with the basic skills to make a computer follow your command. Students will utilize formal logic to understand how a computer "thinks," and be introduced to several technical computer languages. (See Links for Syllabus)
> - C# (offered semester 2) provides students with an understanding of structured, procedural and event-driven programming. Students will develop techniques for problem solving through the application of a variety of programming techniques and will gain experience in program planning, design, and coding as they complete lab work and assignments including games, simulations and productivity applications.

Computer Science II - 2 semester-based courses
- Advanced Programming/Java (offered semester 1) teaches the Java programming language, program planning, object-oriented design and Java language syntax. Students learn how to complete Java applets, as well as, stand-alone programs. (See Links for Syllabus)
> - Advanced Programming/C++ (offered semester 2) allows students to add to their programming credentials by introducing the C++ language to create platform-independent applications and independent software. (See Links for Syllabus)
