Plan of Study for Computer Information Science

Transfer Program - 62-64 Semester Hours

UACCM has articulated the Associate of Science degree with an emphasis in Computer Information Science with Arkansas Tech University’s Information Science and Computer Science programs and the University of Arkansas at Little Rock’s Information Science program. Specific requirements for each program are indicated by the following superscript notations: (1) ATU Information Science, (2) ATU Computer Science, and (3) UALR Information Science. Students interested in any of these program options may obtain an individual program of study from the office of Academic Services or their advisor, or the college's Web site.

Arkansas Course Transfer System (ACTS)

After UACCM

This program is designed for those students who plan to transfer to a four-year institution to earn a bachelor’s degree in a computer-related field. The transferability of CIS and business courses vary by institution; therefore, it is very important for students to consult with their CIS academic advisor for further information on requirements at specific institutions.

Hints

Students should own or consider purchasing a computer.
Students should take all remedial courses early in order to focus on degree-required classes in later semesters.
Students should take classes when offered as some classes are only offered certain semesters.
Students should plan electives early to insure completion of courses within the desired time frame.

Note

This program enables students to complete the first two years of a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or Information Science. Students may then transfer to the four-year institution of their choice to complete their degree.
