Out of the top 20 undergraduate four-year majors, the Bureau of Labor Statistics found that computer and information (data) sciences is the only one that has seen consistent growth, with student interest surviving the wake of the pandemic. The employment growth rate for jobs in computer and mathematics is projected to be 15.2%
More from UB: Computerscience degrees: How demand has both reduced and improved Northland College has operated at a deficit for eight years, The Minnesota Star Tribune reports. While students were informed that Lewis University would accept transfers, faculty were left uncertain about their future, with no severance pay offered.
So the institution’s disclosure that it briefed the Board of Visitors on not just a department but a possible division-level unit of computational and data science stunned many on campus. William & Mary has long had a liberalarts orientation and strong tradition of shared governance.
The happiest respondents earned their degrees in computer and informationsciences, and criminology. Holders of computerscience degrees are finding their skills in high demand all across the workforce—from tech to consulting to management, where they are being offered average salaries of $100,000 or more, ZipRecruiter says.
The coursework in the crosshairs isn’t hard to divine, either: liberalarts mainstays such as literature, history, anthropology, sociology, philosophy, and psychology. Those with liberalarts degrees took umbrage. The key is to paint a sharper picture of the enormous benefits that liberalarts actually deliver.
Dissemination of Growth Mindset Principles and Attitudes in the Division of Science and Mathematics at a LiberalArts College.” Journal of Information Technology Education: Research 18 (June): 19–43.

From the strategic and smart use of technology, to the need for data fluency across all disciplines (and yes, that includes liberalarts institutions), and the changing modes of online and in-person instruction, universities have been watching, and some embracing, what employers expect from graduates in today’s rapidly changing workforce.

What we need, I think, is what Feldstein calls a “radically conservative” vision that conserves “the best parts of an American-style liberalarts education by re-imagining it but not rejecting it.” This is an institution that values scholarship, the liberalarts, a physical campus and the teacher-scholar.
Clark faculty members were informed early on of the Becker initiative, and the administration engaged them proactively to secure their support. The old adage “strategy should drive organizational change, not the other way around,” very much holds true.
Liberalarts and sciences, which was the third most enrolled major, saw a sharp 4.8% Computer and informationsciences, in sixth place, saw an impressive 10.4% Business remained the highest-enrolled major at 1.5 decline in enrollment, the most out of the top 5 majors. bump in students enrolled.
Michael discusses the specific type of school that leaves most students earning even less than the typical high school graduate and how university leaders can leverage this information, particularly for programs that aren’t effectively serving students and, in turn, not serving the institution. to gauge how they are doing.
We’ve seen students and families using this information, but we’ve also heard from institutions starting to understand that the data is there and showing an interest in the program-level data in terms of how they improve their programs and all of their offerings writ large.
We are a technology-based school predominantly focused on engineering and computerscience. There’s also a preeminent architecture school, law school, business school, and the School of the Sciences. But there was no civics, history, geography, or any form of a liberalarts education. I was a physics major.
Image: DENVER—On the final morning of last week’s Educause conference here, a surprisingly large group of die-hards gathered for a panel discussion entitled “CIO or No: Not All IT Leadership Roles Lead to the Chief Information Officer.” “Yay, that’s progress!”
Campus pre-professional centers in such areas as the arts, business, computerscience, health care, information technology, public policy, and science should make a point of helping students form a professional identity. Institutional change won’t require us to throw out the baby with the bathwater.
As the landscape continues to shift, staying informed and adaptable will be key to thriving in this dynamic environment. They were very strong in the sciences, extremely strong in mathematics with the Curran Institute but didn’t have an engineering program. And they felt this particularly in computersciences.
