INTENT: The curriculum is consistent with the program's documented objectives. It combines technical requirements with general education requirements and electives to prepare students for a professional career in the computer field, for further study in computer science, and for functioning in modern society. The technical requirements include up-to-date coverage of basic and advanced topics in computer science as well as an emphasis on science and mathematics.

(Curriculum standards are specified in terms of semester hours of study. Thirty semester hours generally constitutes one year of full-time study and is equivalent to 45 quarter hours. A course or a specific part of a course can only be applied toward one standard.)

If you are having more than one program evaluated, particularly if the programs are on separate campuses, the answers to these questions may vary from one program to another. If this is the case, please use separate copies of this section for each program, and clearly delineate which program is being described.
