The Community College of Vermont (CCV) offers two year associate degrees and career-focused certificate programs across Vermont and online. Currently, we offer an associate degree in Network Administration and an associate degree in Computer Systems Management. CCV is considering merging the two computer science degree programs into one computer science associate degree that provides a consistent set of skills for general IT employment needs, and a choice of focus areas aligned with job opportunities in Vermont.
