A.S.T. Computer Science Virtual Tour

The A.S.T. degree is for community colleges in Washington State as of Fall 2000. Consult the AST Degree Worksheet for up-to-date information regarding requirements.

The A.S.T. degree is a way to complete the first two years of a four-year degree in specific math/science intensive programs.  This degree requires 90 quarter-credits of course work, some of which must satisfy general Liberal Arts requirements (including a "W" course).  Other general university requirements will need to be met at the transfer institution.

Transfer requirements vary for Computer Science related majors.  Students should consult with an academic advisor at Spokane Falls the appropriate department at the transfer university for actual requirements.  In general, though, Computer Science students should take the following courses:
