ABSTRACT
Across the US, plummeting CS enrollments and disappointing student retention have caused serious concern in recent years. Yet, in the Spring of 2007, the Berea College faculty unanimously adopted a CIS major in response to the rise in enrollment in CS0 and retention into CS1. This paper details how using a funnel approach to attract students into the discipline via multiple CS0-level courses resulted in the exception to the trend.
