Follow this link for career information. Transfer Considerations Students who have already chosen the university to which they plan to transfer should consult that institution's catalog or department advisor and an SVCC academic advisor in planning their program. Transfer guides for some universities are available at svcc.edu/transfer. 1. Bachelor's degree programs in Computer Science encompass two distinct emphases: an information systems or business emphasis and a technical emphasis. While either emphasis will prepare a student for a computing career, there are important differences in the context of the work to be performed, the types of problems to be solved, and the types of systems to be designed and managed. For both emphases, starting positions include such titles as programmer, programmer-analyst, and network analyst. The associate of arts degree corresponds to the information systems emphasis. The associate of science degree corresponds to the technical track. Be sure to see an academic advisor or computer science faculty member to select the appropriate emphasis for you. 2. The core of ",
