About this Major

Students will establish a strong foundation as they develop the ultimate toolbox of skills essential for any programmer.

Students will learn attention to detail, time management techniques, and resiliency as they apply skills involving observation, patience, and a focus on the big picture. Simultaneously, students will work on improving abstract reasoning, applying design thinking principles, and problem-solving skills.

Training is individualized and flexible, providing students the option to focus on C# or Java as their programming language while learning techniques in an interactive, hands-on approach to programming. It is designed for students who seek a head start in college or a career related to programming.
