The Atlantic has
an interesting article (subscription required) about Computer Science degrees in U.S. universities. The article raises a concern that the elevation of computer science to the college level at universities may lead to students not gaining a broad education. I have a B.S. degree in Computer Science that I earned from
Michigan Technological University in 1989. Back when I was in school Computer Science was a department under Mathematics. Michigan Tech now has a
College of Computing that offers
12 undergraduate degrees, so basically the change described in the Atlantic article occurred at Tech since I left. When I was in college Tech only had 2 computer related undergrad degrees, Computer Science and Management Information Systems.
