Computer Science
Overview
Through strong curriculum, advising and support, the computer science program at Olympic College provides students with the first two years of a four-year computer science or computer engineering degree. If you are considering a major in computer science, our traditional pathway will provide you with preparation in both the theoretical and practical aspects of computer science as well as a strong foundation in mathematics.
Computer science degrees continue to launch individuals into successful career paths. Students earning a transfer degree from OC and eventually a degree from a university have an abundance of career opportunities nationally and locally. These include high demand fields such as Software Engineering, Systems Analysis, and Data Science.
