Computer Science Transfer to Southern Oregon University
Associate of Science Degree
About the Program
This Associate of Science (AS) degree is based on a signed articulation agreement with Southern Oregon University (SOU). The program is designed for students transferring to its baccalaureate degree program in computer science. Students must work closely with advisors in their areas of interest to ensure electives are appropriate.
The curriculum allows for 23-31 core credits within the major area. By completing all appropriate credits (including electives), students will have fulfilled all required lower-division coursework for transfer to SOU. Students should be aware, however, that if they transfer before completing this degree, courses will be evaluated individually toward the transfer requirements of the college of their choice.
Program Learning Outcomes
The curriculum in RCC courses is derived from a set of identified learning outcomes that are relevant to the discipline. The program learning outcomes for the Computer Science Transfer to Southern Oregon University are:
- Demonstrate the knowledge, techniques, skills, and modern tools of the discipline to narrowly defined technology activities.
- Ability to develop a knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology problems that require limited application of principles but extensive practical knowledge.
- Ability to identify, analyze, and solve narrowly defined technology problems.
Entry Requirements
Students are required to complete the Placement Process to determine skill level and readiness in math, reading, and writing. As part of their training program, students must begin with the courses within their skill level as determined through the Placement Process.
Advanced Standing
Coursework from accredited universities will be accepted in accordance with college policies. In order to ensure that coursework is current, program courses over five years old must be reviewed and approved by the appropriate department chair before being accepted toward core requirements.
Graduation Requirements
The Associate of Science degree will be awarded to students who complete all credits in this program with a grade of “C” or better. Students should be aware that SOU requires a grade of “B” in CS161 and CS162 for transfer. Certain required courses are also graded on a pass/no pass basis only. A grade of “P” for these courses indicates a student earned the equivalent of a “C” or better grade.
This guide lays out an optimal path to graduate in two years as you prepare to transfer to a four-year Oregon college or university. Please meet with an advisor for any questions about alternate classes in any given term. When transferring to a four-year Oregon state college or university, one of the following options must be met as a requirement for admission:
- Two years of the same high school-level world language
- Two terms of college-level world language (may be first-year world language, which can be used as elective credits)
This is for students who have graduated from high school or completed a high school equivalency program in 1997 or after. Additionally, if students intend to complete a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree at a four-year school, they must complete two years of a college level world language regardless of when they graduated from high school or an equivalency program. Completing the first year of the college language sequence in terms 4-6 at RCC sets students up for the second-year sequence when they transfer. Students should inquire with their intended receiving institution for world language requirements.
Where zero credits are listed in the prerequisites, students may place into a higher-level(s) based on designated placement score(s). Note, some prerequisites may be required for graduation. Please consult an advisor with any program completion questions.
