What is Computer Science 2? 

This course picks up where CS1 leaves off.  We start with an OOP review and move through all Java Collections.  This course will cover all of the topics formerly covered in the AP AB CS course plus some additional topics.  At the end of this course, the students will have covered the same topics typically covered in a college level CS2 course.  The topic list below shows the topics typically covered.  This materials is great for dual credit and independent study courses.


A+ CS2 material approved for use with UW dual credit program.
