Reason for changes:
These changes are being submitted to accommodate a request from President Glassman to place emphasis on the
Computer Science portion of our program. The revisions reflect current curriculum guidelines from the Association for
Computing Machinery (ACM), the world's largest scientific and educational computing society, and align us with
comparable institutions and their degree requirements.
The revised version will go into effect Fall 2017.
