Get Started

LWTech does not offer every course each quarter. It is the student's responsibility to consult the Class Schedule and work out an individual schedule with an advisor. Any developmental coursework you might be required to complete may increase the program length.

At LWTech, we welcome all students as an open enrollment college and we are committed to your inclusion at the college. This program of study leads to an industry or specific employers that may require a full or partial background check as well as a drug test before you start the job. Please know LWTech is committed to your inclusion at the college and you can talk with an advisor about alternative options that may be similar to this program.

 

Information Sessions

Join us for a 5-10 minute intro to our program, followed by 15 minutes of Q&A. These info sessions cover two separate bachelor's degrees: Bachelor of Applied Science in Computing Software Development and Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. We'll address questions regarding the distinctions between these programs.

All sessions are virtual and held on Microsoft Teams. Don’t miss out!
