The Associate of Science in Software Development program combines practical experience with current programming languages, tools, and processes in the field of computer science. The program covers a wide range of topics that are sought after by employers including programming for web applications using languages such as Python, HTML and JavaScript, Databases, Mobile, DevOps, and Security. The program incorporates working with real clients from the industry on exciting, team-based projects that bring together the knowledge and skills acquired during the program.

Important Degree Disclosure: Northwest College’s Software Development, A.S. program is delivered through a partnership with various Wyoming community colleges and not all required courses are taught by Northwest College (this is subject to change).  To successfully complete all degree requirements, Major Course Requirements (MR) not offered by Northwest College must be completed in an asynchronous manner (distance education) through admittance and enrollment in our partner institutions. Partner institutions will have differing policies, academic calendars, and learning management systems (LMS).  

Distance education coursework is a substantial, required component of this program, thus reliable internet connectivity is recommended.  All Wyoming community colleges are regionally accredited through the Higher Learning Commission for credit transfer to Northwest College, as permitted by Northwest College’s credit transfer policy.  For information about enrollment or questions about this program, contact the Northwest College Enrollment Services Office.  For information about available Financial Aid and additional student consortia requirements for this program, contact the Northwest College Financial Aid Office.
