CS BS Changes 2024
Potential changes/updates to CS undergraduate programs to submit during 2024-2025.
ECT 130 - needs to be offered every semester, if it is the first course in the major.
ECT 438 - do we want current CS majors to take this for HIP? Possibly for 2025-2026 - they would take 437 in the fall and 438 in the spring.
CS minor, CS teaching minor, CS certificate - where CS 101 was required, make it an or with ECT 130
Courses with 1 credit lab - get rid of the lab?
4 credit courses (201, 203, 302) - keep them 4 credit or change back to 3?
Longest prereq chains...
- 417 (f) - 401 - 302 (f) - 203/201 - 151 - ECT 130
- 471/473 (f) - 456 - 302 (f) - 203/201 - 151 - ECT 130
If a student starts in the fall with ECT 130, they finish in 7 semesters in the DS or CS tracks.
Courses that are never offered, should we bank them? See Courses that are listed as not regularly being offered.

Program assessment. What are we going to do? In the past, data would only be submitted by half of the faculty.
