计算机科学

TCC的网络和网络安全项目 prepares the student for a career in network administration and technical support 重点是网络安全. 该项目包括一系列技术核心课程 that provide hands-on knowledge and skills in systems, data, networking, and security 概念. 该项目包括一系列与商业相关的非技术核心课程， 项目和团队沟通技巧. 高级课程包括培训 PC hardware and operating systems, Windows servers, networking, routing, security, 和虚拟化. 专业/技术(职业培训)学位和证书 are designed for students who want to get back out into the workforce quickly with 高要求的技能，而不是那些计划继续上大学的人. As 因此，学生通常使用现有的系统.

If you want to be the person actually designing computer systems, you may be more interested in a bachelor’s degree in computer science, computer 工程 or electrical 工程. 虽然过于简化，但计算机工程关注的是编程 and developing hardware, while computer science focuses on the theoretical algorithms 这推动了软件的改进. 电气工程是一个密切相关的领域 but more broadly works in the design of electronics as well as large scale power systems.

一年级和二年级学生转学所需的课程 the junior 水平 to a university computer science, computer 工程 or electrical 工程课程一般可以在TCC完成. 进入许多计算机科学领域， 计算机工程和电子工程专业竞争激烈. 完成 of coursework or an associate’s degree does not guarantee admission into a specific 程序.

TCC offers three associate degree pathways for students who are planning to transfer 到这些地区的大学:

1. 计算机科学副学士- DTA

This degree is usually the best choice for students who know that they are only interested in computer science, and will not need the more rigorous math and science requirements 计算机工程或电气工程专业. 它也允许学生 完成通识教育要求. 计算机科学副学士 学位是直接转移协议(DTA)学位. 这并不意味着学位 that aren’t DTAs won’t transfer, instead, it guarantees some very specific benefits. According to the State Board of Community and Technical Colleges (SBCTC) website, DTA程度s provide “completion of lower division general education requirements for universities (in Washington state), credit for all courses completed within the DTA up to and in some cases beyond 90 credits, and the opportunity to explore several 通过学习领域类别最多30学分的选修课程.“ Associate of 艺术 in 计算机科学 is approved by the Joint 转移 Council (JTC) 代表华盛顿州. 

2. 计算机工程-理学副学士(第二方向)

 This degree is usually the best choice for students who are planning major in computer 工程 or students who are planning to major in electrical 工程 at the 大学 of Washington-Tacoma, Eastern Washington 大学 or Western Washington 大学. 这些项目需要更多的数学、科学和工程基础知识， so there is less room for the humanities and social science courses that are in a DTA程度. 虽然计算机工程副学士学位确实有 一些人文和社会科学的要求(15学分)，你仍然会有 在你转学后，在这些领域上更多的课程. 个人人文和 该学位的社会科学课程享有与其他课程相同的可转学福利 他们会得到DTA学位. 学生应该与学术顾问一起选择 合适的课程. 理学副学士学位2轨道由联合批准 转移委员会(JTC)为华盛顿州.

3. 电子工程与计算机工程-副学士学位

This degree is usually the best choice for students planning to major in electrical 工程 at the 大学 of Washington- Seattle, Washington State 大学 以及大多数其他情感表达项目. 本学位为专业相关课程(MRP). MRP度 were developed on a statewide 水平 by the Washington Council for Engineering and Related Technology Education (WCERTE), an organization comprised of the community colleges and universities in the state of Washington that offer 工程 degrees, 并由华盛顿州联合转让委员会(JTC)批准. MRP degrees were designed specifically to prepare students to transfer at the junior 水平 具体的学科. 由于电气工程项目具有重要的 math, science, computer science and 工程 fundamentals coursework requirements, 该学位要求103学分.

Although the EE/CompE – AS- MRP degree does have some humanities and social science requirements (15 credits), you will still have to take more classes in these areas 转学后. 个人在人文社会科学课程中获得学位 获得与DTA学位相同的可转移性福利. 完成 of this degree would prepare students to transfer into computer science, computer 工程 or electrical 工程, but would require coursework that is only mandatory 对于电气工程.

Although Tacoma Community College advisors make every effort to consult with various colleges and universities regarding requirements, students are encouraged to consult catalogs, websites and advisors at their chosen four-year institutions early in the 规划过程.

Preparation: While in high school, students should pursue all the available courses 在数学、化学、计算机编程和物理方面.
