Direct entry into baccalaureate degree programs.

Alfred State computer science program graduates may enter directly into any of our four BTech programs: 1) cyber security, 2) applications software development 3) network administration, or 4) web development. Students may also transfer to our Technology Management BBA degree program, or Interdisciplinary Studies BTech program.

To facilitate the easy transfer of these associate degree graduates choosing to continue their education at the baccalaureate level, students are encouraged to make their intentions known to their academic advisor during their freshman or sophomore year. Through the careful use of elective courses, students can realize excellent transfer credit. Transfer into these baccalaureate programs will place students at the junior status.
