— What is Software Development?
Our Software Development program focuses on building students’ coding and programming skills, as well as the soft skills they need to creatively solve problems. This rigorous program will teach you essential programming languages, including C++ and Java, as well as introduce you to React JavaScript and Agile software development methodologies with Scrum using Github.
Software Development Certificate and Associate Degree
Our Computer Information Technology (CIT) programs are designed to give you the greatest possible flexibility in your studies. You can enroll directly into the CIT/Software Development Associate Degree, or choose our 8-month Software Development Certificate. You can always “stack” your certificate credentials later to earn your associate degree with just one additional year of study. No matter which path you choose, you will earn valuable credentials in a high-demand technology specialty and be prepared for industry certification exams.
This program offers start dates in September, October, and January.
