9. EXPLANATION OF THE CHANGE:

Current national standards for Computer Science curricula require coverage of many core

knowledge areas that reflect contemporary opportunities and challenges of Information

Technology, such as tools, libraries, and skills required to write cutting-edge software, as well as

the programming strategies needed that address multi-core parallelism.

The changes we are requesting in this form are needed to bring our computer science curriculum

to the current standards. We have attached a table to detail the core knowledge areas for each

course, based on curricula recommendations provided by the Association for Computing

Machinery, available at http://www.acm.org/education/curricula-recommendations. (See Table 1)

Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) accreditation, which is a goal for

the BS program in Computer Science, requires a curriculum design that allows us to assess the

student learning outcomes in a continuous manner. We also attached a table to detail how the

required courses are used for the program's continuous improvement, according to the student

outcomes identified by ABET. (See Table 2)

The proposed changes to create a “standard track” for the ELED/SEED programs, to keep three

current specializations, and to delete under-enrolled specializations will in total, better meet the

needs of potential educators, more fully leverage departmental resources, and provide solid,

customizable, and predictable programming for our K-12 stakeholders. The modifications, in

particular the addition of the standard track curriculum option, are in accord with the changing

nature of graduate programming and the expected competencies of professional educators. The

restructuring request allows for a reduction in credit hours, from 33 to 30, and will aid students in

timely degree attainment.

Note: Plan B students must take written and oral examinations. Graduate transfer credits are limited to six hours and must receive approval from the Department.



The History Department has no two-credit courses. Plan B students take a curriculum that

consists solely of three-credit courses and graduate with 33 as opposed to 32 hours. This change

will reflect the number of credits students actually take to complete the program.
