Computer Science Transfer Program

If you plan to transfer from FDLTCC to get a bachelor's degree in computer science, consult the catalog of the school you are planning to attend regarding specific requirements.

For transfer to public four year colleges & universities in Minnesota, complete the FDLTCC Associate of Arts degree which satisfies liberal arts requirements as per Minnesota Transfer Curriculum design. Within your FDLTCC AA degree plan, you should complete key courses and sequences which are required for most bachelor's degrees in computer science:

• Introduction to Computer Science for Majors: CSCI 2010-1. The prerequisite is college algebra Math 1010 and previous programming experience. For 1997-8, this course will use C++ and Java to explore computing concepts. For many students who lack experience with computing, it would be useful to take the courses CSCI 1001 and CSCI 1020 before CSCI 2010-1.
• Calculus 1-2: Math 2001-2. The prerequisite is college algebra Math 1010 and trigonometry Math 1015.
• A year-long science sequence with lab suitable for majors in the field. CHEM 1010-1, PHYS 1010-1, and BIOL 1010-21-22 are suitable. (Note than CHEM 1010-1 and PHYS 1010-1 are usually required for engineering majors.) FDLTCC AA requirements call for courses in at least two disciplines, so an additional science course must be taken in another field even if a suitable 1 year one science sequence is completed..
