[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's interesting that a college known for its liberal arts program is now trying to expand its CS program. That should tell you something about LACs[/quote] I'd say it should say something about undergraduate education in general - for good and for worse. It's increasingly vocational. People here in various threads are mocking students and programs who are not as trained and ready for specific work tasks as they could be, had they not wasted time on less marketable classes. That's the landscape and LACs need to adjust just like other institutions. Are they really losing their identity more than universities selling marketable degrees? Maybe. [/quote] CS is not vocational. You are thinking about IT. [/quote] True but if you want to work in IT, you might be better served just getting a couple certs.[/quote]
