<p>I will graduate high school June, and will start community college this fall. I'm fairly new about what my best options are in community college. I don't want to make too many mistakes concerning taking the wrong courses, therefore, wasting money and time. </p>

<p>I want to get my A.A. in Computer Science with a focus in Computer Network Engineering then transfer to a four year to get my B.S. in Computer Network Engineering , and I need your help!</p>

<p>I need advice about what the best major courses and electives I should take. Anyone who is planning on majoring in Computer Science or has a major in CS with a focus in Network Engineering, what do you believe were the best courses to take? Which courses were completely useless? Which elective courses were the best and worst? </p>

<p>P.S. Is receiving my A.A. in Computer Science then B.S. in Computer Network Engineering a smart thing to do? Or should I just focus in receiving my B.S. in Computer Science or vice versa? </p>

<p>I would really appreciate the advice and tips! Thank you in advance :)</p>

<p>Since you are in California, use [Welcome</a> to ASSIST](<a href=“http://www.assist.org%5DWelcome”>http://www.assist.org) to determine which courses at your CC and others nearby are needed to prepare to transfer to the computer science major at your target UCs and CSUs.</p>

<p>Computer science is the major to aim for if your goal is an industry software job or graduate study in computer science (CPSLO and SJSU also offer a similar software engineering major, though the computer science major is slightly more desirable; at SJSU, the software engineering major has historically been significantly less selective for both frosh and transfer admissions).</p>

<p>No UC or CSU offers a “computer network engineering” major, though there are some which offer computer engineering majors that are more computer hardware design oriented than typical computer science majors.</p>
