Computer Support Specialist

Computer Support Specialist is an associate's degree program offered at Laurus College, a private for-profit institution in San Luis Obispo, CA. This program falls within the computer and information sciences field (CIP 11.1006) and prepares students to provide technical assistance, troubleshoot hardware and software issues, and support end users in a range of technology environments.

Laurus College also offers a certificate-level Computer Support Specialist program for students seeking a shorter credential, along with associate's and certificate programs in Animation, Interactive Technology, Video Graphics, and Special Effects, and a certificate in Medical Insurance Specialist/Medical Biller. The associate's degree in computer support provides a broader foundation in information technology concepts, systems support, and technical problem-solving compared to the shorter certificate pathway available at the same institution.
