The AACS degree curriculum will develop students' core competencies for success in IT careers and leadership in that field. The program emphasizes hands-on industry application and knowledge. Furthermore, the curriculum incorporates state-of-the-art tools and programming techniques. Interwoven throughout the computer science courses are industry specific concepts that are taught within a real-world environment. The AACS program may be completed in two academic years. However, due to the modular and compact nature of our program, a student may create his/her own schedule to complete the degree.
