Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale

After a departmental review of our programs, and discussions with potential Industrial Advisory Board members, we have commenced a sweeping set of curricular changes.  In the coming academic year, we hope to begin implementation of these changes.

    Computer Science – add the Scripting course and alter the sequence so that students are not left without a high level programming course in their final semester.

    Cybersecurity – add Scripting and Computer Science 1 to this sequence, and expand the laboratory sections for our forensics offerings.  Alter course sequencing to more adequately reflect the optimal topic progression.

    Networking – add Scripting and change C++ (CIT 107) to Computer Science 1 (CSC 101).  Also add a Systems Administration course.  Collapse Systems Analysis and Systems Design into a single course.  Alter course sequencing to more adequately reflect the optimal topic progression.
