Moving to CC2001 at a small college

Published: 28 June 2004 Publication History

Abstract

In this paper, we describe the process, problems, and successes of moving a Computer Science major at a small liberal arts college from CC1991[1] to CC2001[3]. Our current computer science major is largely based on CC1991 and on A Revised Model Curriculum for a Liberal Arts Degree in Computer Science[2]. We discuss issues with the number of required courses, the mathematics requirement, staffing, and transitioning to the new curricular model within a small department.
