Contribute to our next Curricular Guidance Report!
Following the release of the most recent curricular guidance for bachelor’s degree programs in Computer Science (CS2023), the ACM CCECC is updating its corresponding curricular guidance for two-year transfer programs in Computer Science (CS-Transfer2017). As part of this initiative, which we are currently calling CS-Transfer202x, we have created an initial draft (“StrawDog”) by identifying the CS2023 Knowledge Areas and Knowledge Units that can be taught during the first two years of a Computer Science program. We recently released the “StrawDog” draft to solicit initial community input, and we invite you to please review the draft and provide your feedback via a survey.
Click here to start the survey! All respondents will be credited in the final version of the CS-Transfer202x curricular guidance report.
Current Guidance
In June 2017 the ACM CCECC published Computer Science Curricular Guidance for Associate-Degree Transfer Programs with Infused Cybersecurity, called CSTransfer2017. The update is based on ACM's CS2013 curriculum guidelines and is infused with contemporary cybersecurity content. This update replaces the 2009 guidelines.
The finalized report, endorsed by the ACM Education Board, is available in the ACM Digital Library.
Highlight Your Computer Science Program. The ACM CCECC welcomes submission of program examples that correlate a school's degree or certificate with the ACM guidelines. The following spreadsheet will help you prepare your CSTransfer2017 program example offline. When you are ready to enter the example into the online form, go to the Submit Your Program link at the left.
