我们已经创建、试行并正在发展ALIGN计划,这是一个面向非CS专业的大专毕业生的计算机科学硕士(CS)硕士学位。我们的目标是为所有学生创造一条通向CS的途径,特别关注女性和代表性不足的少数族裔。事实上,女性占美国所有学士学位获得者的57%,少数族裔占25%,但在CS毕业生中分别只占19.5%和12.6%。如果我们能够填补这一机会缺口,我们将满足一个重大的经济需求,并解决社会公平和包容性的问题。在本文中,我们介绍了我们的“桥梁”课程,这是一个为期两个学期的课程,为学生进入传统的CS学生的硕士课程做准备。我们描述了旨在帮助学生在项目中取得成功的联合课程活动。我们展示了我们在招生、人口统计、留存和工作结果方面的经验发现。我们的发现之一是,Align学生在CS学生的平均成绩上优于我们传统的MS学生。到目前为止,我们已经有137名学生毕业,827人入学。
We have created, piloted and are growing the Align program, a Master of Science in Computer Science (MS in CS) for post-secondary graduates who did not major in CS. Our goal is to create a pathway to CS for all students, with particular attention to women and underrepresented minorities. Indeed, women represent 57% and underrepresented minorities represent 25% of all bachelor's recipients in the U.S., but only 19.5% and 12.6% of CS graduates, respectively. If we can fill this opportunity gap, we will satisfy a major economic need and address an issue of social equity and inclusion. In this paper, we present our "Bridge'' curriculum, which is a two-semester preparation for students to then join the traditional MS in CS students in master's-level classes. We describe co-curricular activities designed to help students succeed in the program. We present our empirical findings around enrollment, demographics, retention and job outcomes. Among our findings is that Align students outperform our traditional MS in CS students in grade point average. To date we have graduated 137 students and 827 are enrolled.
