Applications for BCIS degree: 60% improvement
February 2nd, 2009
As the title suggests, applications for our new Bachelor of Computer Information Systems degree (4 year) have been quite encouraging. Compared to this time last year, we have received over 60% more applications from prospective students. This improvement could be due to three reasons:
- prospective students want a four year credential
- prospective students like the curriculum in the new degree
- renewed interest in computer fields after six or seven lean years.
However, given that applications for our computer science university transfer program have not improved, many of us think it is more likely that the first two reasons explain the massive increase.
