Purpose: This curriculum is designed for students who plan to transfer to a four-year institution to complete an Engineering based baccalaureate degree in computer science or information technology. This program was designed for students who want to transfer to Virginia Tech, but may be applicable to other transfer institutions. Students desiring a four-year Computer Science degree that is not associated with Engineering should consider the A.S. Science: Computer Science Specialization, A.S. .

Admission Requirements: Applicants must meet the requirements for admission to credit-level coursework established by the college. This program is restricted to students eligible to enroll in MTH 263 .  

Developmental Requirements: Students who do not place into college-level English will be required to take developmental courses.

Students who are not eligible for MTH 263  must demonstrate proficiency in developmental requirements MTE 1 , MTE 2 , MTE 3 , MTE 4 , MTE 5 , MTE 6 , MTE 7 , MTE 8  and MTE 9 , and in Pre-Calculus with Trigonometry (MTH 167  ) prior to enrolling in this program. Please see a new student advisor for correct math placement.

While a course may satisfy a requirement for a Virginia Western program, it may not fulfill a requirement at a four-year institution. Students who intend to transfer should verify specific program requirements with their four-year institution. Students with questions about the differences in the computer science/information technology degrees at Virginia Western should contact the program head before enrolling.
