JWU Launches First-in-the-Nation Three-Year (90 credit) In-Person Bachelor’s Degree

They cut too much from the Computer Science program. The 4-year program is already a little sus as it requires only Pre-Calculus. The 3-year program seems to require only Algebra I. Also Discrete Math is required in the 4-yr program but not required in the 3-yr program. I applaud their efforts in looking for ways to cut down costs and moving students through the program more quickly, but to me it seems like they overdid it a little.

JWU is an RA university so NECHE approved of the reduction in math courses. Does everyone who works in IT/tech need all of that math? Absolutely not. Do some people? Yes and there are ways they could learn more math on their own.
