Computer Science Transfer Programs
The Computer Science Department offers a carefully designed transfer program
for those students who wish to finish a bachelors degree at at four year
institution. Needless to say there is a substantial cost savings in completing
your first two years of college at a Community College. Our students regularly transfer to Cal State Hayward and other
local colleges including U.C. Berkeley, San Jose State, U.C. Davis and Stanford
University. We currently offer one transfer degree: the AA/AS Degree in Computer
Science with Emphasis in Mathematics. Pending state approval we will also
offer the AA/AS Degree in Linux Systems Programming..
- AA/AS Degree in Computer Science with Emphasis in Mathematics -- designed for
the student who is planning to transfer to a university for a BS in Computer
Science or a related field. It meets the general lower-division Computer Science
and Mathematics requirements for most universities in Computer Science.
- AA/AS
Degree in Computer Science - Linux Systems Programming (pending state approval)
-- designed as either a vocational or transfer degree. It is designed to give
the student the skills necessary to get and hold an entry-level job as a UNIX or
Linux systems programmer. Also, with careful selection of electives, it would be
an excellent transfer degree to a university that uses UNIX or Linux in much of
its curriculum, such as the California State University, Hayward, or the
University of California, Davis. As always, you should consult your intended
transfer institution for their specific transfer requirements.
Our curriculum emphasizes
C++ and Java as our transfer languages. Consult your intended transfer
institution for their transfer requirements. Our UNIX/Linux programming
courses are all taught in C. We also teach UNIX shell scripting, Perl, C#,
Visual Basic .NET, Oracle DB, SQL, HTML, DHTML, PHP, VBScript, ASP, XML and
XSL. For a complete listing of Computer Science courses consult the online
catalog. For a complete listing of our degree and certificate programs please

Course Articulation Agreements with Local Colleges
Certain courses you take at Chabot articulate to courses offered
at a four year college. This means that once you complete the course at Chabot you
won't have to take the corresponding course at your transfer institution. For specific
articulation agreements consult assist.org.
Here are links to the articulation agreements between Chabot and some local
colleges:
