The Diploma in Computer Science addresses the need for advanced training of personnel in information systems. It targets corporate information officers, EDP personnel, programmers, software developers and teachers with minimal training in the field of computer science.
Developed in cooperation with the Institute of Computer Science, College of Arts and Sciences (CAS), UP Los Baños, the program aims to train individuals in the design, implementation, and maintenance of software systems that handle large amounts of data
The program has the goal of producing graduates who are:
- acquired the necessary background in information systems and computer science in preparation for advanced studies;
- gained knowledge and skills in information systems and computer science as applied in their field of work;
- developed and improved techniques in the practice of proper design and development of application software
Applicants must have:
- a Bachelor’s degree or its equivalent in any field from any recognized institution;
- proficiency in at least one programming language
The program consists of 27 units of course work, which can be completed in four semesters
