Do you want to be on the cutting-edge of technological advances? If you have an analytical mind, a patient personality and are comfortable around computers, you could benefit from computer programmer training.
The computer science program provides the students with the theory and practical skills necessary to enter and compete in today’s high-tech field. Nine 39 hour courses in basic and advanced computer programming along with corollary courses in advanced math are usually offered.
Students are required to design, code, and test programs using several programming languages, design and build databases, and create and program websites. Our alumni are currently working in top-rated industry businesses such as IBM, Project Genesis, Sintec Media, Malam etc.
