Computer Science at BCC and UMD:
The CIS Department'scomputer Science transfer option is a true 2+2 curriculum with seamless transfer to UMD.
If you are interested contact Priscilla Grocer, Igor Kholodov, Sil Ferreira or Ralph Sanford. This curriculum was made possible because of a
National Science Foundation Grant.
The first two courses are CIT73 and CIS73. CIT73 is a course that deals with the concepts of object-oriented
programming while CIS73 is the first course in Java. The two courses can be taken together if you want to stay
on a two year curriculum, or the CIT73 can be taken first.
