College of Business and Information Systems
Associate of Science in Application Programming
Graduates of the Application Programming program are
prepared to step directly into positions as business application programmers
with both large and small companies. Students are taught principles of problem
definition, logical design, and structured programming; they learn techniques of
writing and maintaining programs. Students are taught commonly-used programming
languages (C, COBOL, etc.), how to work in an on-line environment with data
bases, and how to read and interpret processor dumps. In addition, each student
will have a sound background in business and accounting. Graduates of this
program will be able to pursue the four-year degree in computer information
systems or management information systems.
The degree is also offered in Sioux Falls. Please contact
the College office or the Director of Sioux Falls programs for more information.
