Growing female undergraduate enrollments in computer science: some successful approaches |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
Computing has seen dramatic decreases in the major across the past decade, especially among under-represented populations. Recently, however, some institutions have begun to see an increase. What are these departments doing to reverse this historical trend? Learn about practices undertaken by U.S. universities that have increased undergraduate enrollments overall, with particular increases in female enrollment and retention. Computer science faculty from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Virginia Tech and Florida A&M will present their interventions and results. National Center for Women & Information Technology will share results from other institutions that also have used evidence-based practices resulting in increased enrollments and distribute materials describing those practices. |
