Abstract
Two recent ACM reports have been published suggesting curricula for undergraduate education in Computer and Information Sciences. These reports have provided the basis of a new major program, the Computer Coordinate Major, recently established at Trinity College. The synthesis of these reports with the curriculum of the College in developing the new major is discussed. The resulting program is suggested as a case study in the implementation of the ACM reports. It is recommended that the ACM reports be regularly reviewed and up-dated so as to continue to provide the basis for development of curricula for undergraduate education in computing.

A computer science/mathematics major for liberal arts colleges
The concepts of the model curriculum for computer science in a liberal arts college [3] and a traditional mathematics major are combined to form a computer science/mathematics major. This major is particularly suited to the mathematics faculty retrained ...
An interdisciplinary undergraduate science informatics degree in a liberal arts context
In this paper, we describe a new interdisciplinary B.S. degree in Science Informatics at Montclair State University, a multipurpose public institution that includes a substantial General Education component. Beginning in the freshmen year, the Science ...
