SIGCSE Committee on Computing Education
in Liberal Arts Colleges

The SIGCSE Committee on Computing Education in Liberal Arts Colleges was created in recognition that Computing programs at liberal arts colleges differ in a number of ways from programs at other institutions. Its activities focus on issues of concern to faculty and students within computing programs in a broadly defined liberal arts context.
