A computer science course program for small colleges

Abstract

The ACM Subcommittee on Small College Programs of the Committee on Curriculum in Computer Science (C 3 S) was appointed in 1969 to consider the unique problems of small colleges and universities, and to make recommendations regarding computer science programs at such schools. This report, authorized by both the subcommittee and C 3 S, supplies a set of recommendations for courses and necessary resources. Implementation problems are discussed, specifically within the constraints of limited faculty and for the purposes of satisfying a wide variety of objectives. Detailed descriptions of four courses are given; suggestions are made for more advanced work; and an extensive library list is included.
