About the Computer Science Program

The Computer Science Program is a two year program at Renton Technical College, leading first to a Certificate, and then, with the completion of 4 General Education classes, to an Associates Degree.

Students attend full-time, 6 hours a day, 5 days a week for their 2 years. This includes a short Summer session.

Our curriculum gives a good background in 5 areas of the computer field, Hardware/Networking, Software Applications, Programming, Database, and Web Design. Our curriculum is more than 90% compliant with what the IEEE Computer Society has published as a model curriculum for Computer Science.

Most of our students use their degree to enter the workforce in some entry-level job in one of the 5 areas (above), or as an all around tech support preson for a smaller business. Some go on to seek advanced degrees at one of the private universities in the area which will accept our graduates (the UW is NOT taking transfer students from the Cumminity and Technical College System).

You may enter our program either at the start of Fall Quarter, or the start of Spring Quarter.
