New and revised offerings reflect emerging subject areas, expansion of cutting-edge pedagogy, and explicit connections with Grinnell's core values. The innovative packaging of topics ensure that majors will cover numerous core subjects within the field, while allowing students to select a range of courses that support their career and educational goals. </p> <p> Final approvals for this new curriculum were completed about two weeks ago, and the full proposal will go into effect over this coming summer. </p> <p> The <i>Thursday Extra</i> on Thursday, February 26, will look ahead to highlight new courses, consider scheduling possibilities, and suggest possible options for students with various varying interests. </p> <p> Refreshments will be served at 4:15 p.m. in the Computer Science Commons (Noyce 3817). The presentation, “Planning with Grinnell's New CS Curriculum and Major,” will follow at 4:30 p.m. in Noyce 3821. Everyone is welcome to attend! </p> curriculum major requirements preregistration Fri, 21 Feb 2014 13:50:57 +0000 walker 680 at http://132.161.132.157/drupal6
