Computer Applications & Office Technologies

A computer application (application or app for short) is a computer program designed to perform a group of coordinated functions, tasks, or activities for the benefit of the user. The study of computer applications prepares students for a career in the field of computer applications and software development. It also can help students to become proficient with a specific application, such as Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel or Adobe Photoshop.

Our computer applications program offers computer science for transfer (AS-T) degrees, math and science associate's degrees and certificates.

Norco College student Gerardo Devola was selected as the 2023 Student of Distinction in the discipline of Computer Science. He was nominated by Professor Daniel Grajeda.
