Computer Science Academy

Students in this major will study computer science and programming through the exciting Project Lead the Way (PLTW) (PLTW) curriculum that will provide students hands-on projects, labs, and experiences. Students will work on real-world challenges and work together to find solutions, learn computational thinking, and how to code. Students who complete this program will have been exposed to a diverse curriculum that will better equip them to choose and be successful in a major at the college/university level. Students will also have the strong math and science foundation needed to be prepared for a college/university program in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) related fields.

NOTE: Students will take the four required PLTW courses. They will then take a combination of math and sciences as determined by course availability to complete the remaining 480 hours for 2-year students, or 960 hours for 3-year students.
