Good news: A survey by the Computing Research Association shows that enrollment in computer science courses in the 2007-2008 academic year was up 6.2%, the first increase since the dot-com bust six years ago. The number of new undergraduates majoring in CS is up 9.5%.Bad news: Women still only receive 11.8% of CS degrees.
So why are enrollments increasing? Fear of the bad economy? The coolness of the iPhone?
We haven't yet seen an increase here at Harding, but I'm betting we will soon.
