The Computer Science program is designed primarily for the well-prepared student who intends to transfer to a four-year institution after two years at SUNY Cobleskill. The Associate in Science degree program requires a higher level of mathematics and laboratory science to be completed in the first two years of study at SUNY Cobleskill. Transfer programs in Computer Science and Information Science are available at four-year units of the State University of New York and many private colleges and universities.

In order to meet the continuing need for qualified computer professionals in business and scientific disciplines, the Computer Technologies Department offers two Computer Science concentrations: Programming and Mathematics/Science. Students who apply for the Computer Science program may elect to study under either concentration.
