CSUMB Offers Unique Transfer Opportunities
 In
ICT education, traditional computer science (CS) programs
are the oldest and most established. Many CS programs and
their content align to Association for Computing Machinery
(ACM) standards and curriculum recommendations. Faculty have
been there a long time, and general theories and practices
are often long-standing. As a result, the most established
and developed articulation and transfer pathways are between
traditional CS programs.
More recently, with the rapid emergence and adoption of ICT
technologies, like networking and IT, many 2-year schools
have programs and/or courses that do not always fall neatly
into established computer science paradigms. Building
transfer and articulation relationships to 4-year schools
that accept this coursework is a big challenge.
