KANSAS PROMISE SCHOLARSHIP ELIGIBLE PROGRAM

The Computer Science and Information Systems transfer pathway at Cowley College is a two-year transfer program. Students completing the program will have the equivalent of the first two years of study at a four-year college or university, including the introductory computer science courses, and should be able to transfer smoothly into those programs to complete their baccalaureate degree. A strong foundation in mathematics and science is recommended for this emphasis.
