Software Development

It's a great time to work in software development. The industry is booming and coding remains one of the most in-demand skills across industries. In fact, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates the field will grow by 22% from 2020 to 2030, with salaries nationwide averaging above $100,000 (source: bls.gov).

The Software Development Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree program prepares students for entry-level employment with full-stack development skills in the areas of software and web development or for transfer to a four-year school.

Our software development emphasis offers the following programming language strands delivered in a hands-on format: C++, Java, PHP, JavaScript, Bash, PowerShell, Python, HTML, CSS, MySQL and Apache.

Additionally, this program offers credit by certification for students already holding credentials and wishing to complete a degree or certificate.
