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.

That’s what IT and technical degrees are for. Computer Science is heavily based around math like calculus, linear algebra, and discrete math mathematics.
