Go behind the software
Our phones, computers and other technology devices are made up of copious amounts of software. But how is the software for our devices created? What does the process look like? How do they choose the design? How do they get it to even work?
Now you can find out. If you’re interested in creating software, our associate degree in Software Development has the answers to your questions and the questions above.
Work in our virtualized environment, where you’re able to test your work on multiple operating systems. You’ll also work in a protected sandbox on security issues and explore options on a variety of server operating systems. Over time, you can create software that will showcase your abilities and prepare you for the future.
Learn the logistics
Your classes will cover core principles and demonstrate how to develop, design, test, and deliver a software program error-free. You can also add coding to your skill repertoire, since you’ll write, test, and maintain computer programs in several languages.
