Computer Science, Field of Study

The Computer Science Field of Study is designed to facilitate transfer to a Bachelor program at a Texas college or university. When a student successfully completes all courses in the Field of Study (which are indicated with an * below), those courses are guaranteed by state law to transfer and apply to degree programs at any public university in Texas.
