Information Technology – Computer Programming and Development Concentration
Program Description:
The Information Technology – Computer Programming and Development curriculum covers the development of software applications for development on computers, web browsers, and on mobile devices. Students will learn the programming/problem solving mindset and to code using industry standard languages including Python, Java, C++, and SQL.
Graduates should qualify for career opportunities as computer programmers, programmers analysts, software developers, database programmers or as programmer/testers. Completion of this program can also serve as a gateway to further education in computer science and the university level.
Students completing this program will be prepared for multiple industry certification exams including:
- Python
- Java
- PHP
- HTML/CSS
- CompTIA Security+
- CompTIA Network+
- ITS-Information Technology Specialist (e.g. Cybersecurity, Database, Networking, Python)*
- MOS (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access)*
*MOS and ITS exams are free for ACC students
The MTA exam program has been discontinued by Certiport.
Program Learning Outcomes
Graduates of this program should be able to:
- Write a program that contains methods/functions with repetition structures.
- Create a flowchart to solve a programming problem.
- Analyze, design, develop, and test a solution to a real-world programming problem.
- Give a professional, technical presentation pertaining to computer programming and development.
