Associate in Computer Science DTA/MRP

The Associate of Arts in Computer Science (DTA/MRP) is designed for students planning to transfer to a bachelor's program to major in Computer Science or a closely related field. In this program, students build strong foundations in programming, mathematics, problem-solving, and computational thinking. Graduates are prepared for upper-division coursework and a range of careers in software development, systems analysis, cybersecurity, data science, and related fields.

Upon completion, students will be eligible to transfer with junior standing to most Washington State baccalaureate institutions. Students transferring out of state should work closely with the transfer institutions to understand how courses in this degree will transfer. Transfer institutions may require a minimum cumulative GPA, a higher GPA in a selected subset of courses, or a minimum grade in subjects like Math or English. Students are strongly encouraged to meet early with both their TCC advisor and their intended transfer institution to confirm that course selections align with both graduation requirements at TCC and admission criteria at the transfer school. Because courses in this pathway may fulfill different requirements depending on the major, students should carefully verify how each course fits into their intended program of study.
