We request modifying our mathematics requirement to provide students the additional option ofpursiog
a
trigonometry/calculus
pathway. Currently we allow substitution of M 121 or higher in place of M liS. It
is particularly useful for those students continuing on to baccalaureate
degree programs in computingrelated fields. We seek to formally recognize this alternate pathway in the catalog by modifying the
requirement to read M lIS or higher-level mathematics course.
Our second modification seeks to better prepare students in the area of computer programming.
The Java
programming
language is preferred over Visual Basic for structured software development
by industry
and academia. Our request involves modifying the programming
requirement from CSC] 110 (Visual
Basic) to CSC] 135 (Java Programming).
We believe this modification will better prepare students for
computing-related
jobs in the software development
industry particularly as software testers.
Additionally,
the modification better aligns our computer programming
coursework with baccalaureate
degree programs for those students seeking to continue their education.
