Abstract
At the current time, there is intense interest in Computer Science Education within the academic community. Symposia have been and are being held (4), recommendations for degree programs have been made (1, 3), a special interest group within ACM (SIGCSE) is growing and discussion at national meetings is lively. Little information is available, however, on what specific curriculum are being offered. This report presents the curriculum leading to a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science which is currently offered at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. The curriculum reflects our prejudices and local constraints. Because Computer Science involves such a wide spectrum of subject matter and because New Mexico Tech is a small college (total enrollment is about 800 students), the report specifically addresses the problem of building a viable curriculum within constraints imposed by the small college environment. The author invites any questions, comments or criticism from readers concerned about Computer Science Education.
