 Return to: Academic Programs
As our digital reliance grows, the need for computer technology professionals increases. This degree combines skills in computer programming, software assurance, and database development fundamentals. A degree in Secure Software Development prepares students for jobs as Computer Systems Analysts, Software Quality Assurance Engineers and Testers, Computer Programmers, Software Developers, and Information Security Analysts.
The AAS Secure Software Development Degree will be offered at both ACC’s Sturm Collaboration Campus in Castle Rock and Littleton Campus. ACC has a transfer articulation with CSU Pueblo, under which students are guaranteed a junior standing with no more than 62 credits to meet the graduation requirements for a B.S. in Computer Information Systems-Software Development Concentration issued by CSU-Pueblo. This B.S. can be attained through a blend of in-person classes at the Sturm Collaboration Campus and on-line classes.
