Program Overview
If you're techy, like computers, code and analytics, you'll probably really like programming. With this degree, you'll learn how to create, solve problems and write in a variety of computer programming languages.
Designing original solutions to problems, creating new applications, seeking deficiencies in existing programs, developing solutions by updating, and modifying and repairing existing software are types of work you, as a programmer, may do. Programmers work across all industries and are greatly sought after.
Our degree program includes three tracks, so you can decide which high-demand specialty is best for you: computer programming, web development and game development.
After successfully completing the program, you will be qualified to seek an entry-level position as a Programmer, Programmer Analyst, Application Developer, Software Engineer or other related professions in mobile, web, game or systems development. Many Delta students transfer to a four-year university and Delta has several university partnerships in place.
