Math Would it be worth it to get a dual Associates in Math and Computer Science?

AI Thread Summary
Pursuing dual associate degrees can enhance a resume, particularly when planning to transition to a bachelor's degree in computer science or mathematics. While a junior college may not offer a full bachelor's program, obtaining both an Associate of Science in Computer Science (ASCS) and an Associate of Science in Mathematics (ASM) can provide a solid foundation for further studies. This dual approach is beneficial as it equips students with essential skills and knowledge relevant to their future bachelor's degree, whether in computer science or mathematics. Ultimately, the choice between completing both associate degrees or focusing solely on the ASCS before advancing to a bachelor's degree should align with long-term academic and career goals.

How much of a boost would that give me on my resume?

Why don't you go for a full bachelors instead?
 
I plan on doing that. However, that's not possible in a junior college. SO, for the time being I was wonder should I go for the dual associates or just leave with the ASCS and go for the BSCS alone without the ASM attached?
 
Do both majors for associates degree. If you plan to later earn a bachelor of arts/science in either computer science or mathematics or both at an undergraduate college, then you will need about the equivalent of an associates degree in Math (if your major becomes computer science); or the background in computer science will help you (if your major becomes Mathematics).
 

Thread 'Working for defense company?'

I don't know if anyone on here works for any of the well known defense companies of your country, whichever country you are from?? Also, if you choose to work in one, do you think the engineering education provide from your school would adequately prepare you for the job. What do I mean by that? Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...

Thread 'Physics Major Considering Masters in EE -- Need help!'

Hello, I graduated from undergrad a few years ago with a Major in Physics and minor in Electrical Engineering. I tried to get experience working on and testing circuits through my professor who studied Neutrinos, however covid caused the opportunity to go away and I graduated with no experience or internships. I have attempted to break into the engineering industry with no success. Right now I am considering going for a Masters in Electrical Engineering and I need advice on if this would be...
