Computer Programming Associate Degree Programs

All it takes to get your start in the exciting world of computer programming is a two-year associate degree in the field. Associate degree programs are available online, a convenient learning format especially conducive to technical training. Students learn how to develop software with a range of capabilities: storing and retrieving information, managing data, solving technical or mathematical problems, designing objects, or simply communicating electronically.

Computer programming associate degree programs include instruction in programming languages, symbolic logic, algorithms, and computer capabilities. Students can take courses in networking, SQL concepts, database management, operating systems, systems analysis and design, internet literacy and web development, and information technology project management. Training in computer languages may focus on the two most popular programming codes, C++ and Java, or specialized languages such as COBOL for business applications, or Fortran for scientific programs. HTML and Visual Basic are important for web programming.

Upon graduation from an associate degree program, students either proceed directly into industry or continue on to a bachelor degree in computer programming. Opportunities abound at any education level, but most employers prefer a bachelor degree in the field. Although no degree program can guarantee earning power, computer programmers can expect to earn anywhere from $30,000 to $95,000 depending on education and experience.
