Bachelor of Applied Science in Software Development

 

This might be interesting to the community.  The state/community colleges in Central FL are working with UCF to create a BAS in Software Development - a UCF Regional Campuses degree. 

 

We all know that Computer Science is not the same as Software Development, so we're addressing it. 

ETA - soft rollout this fall 2011, with the first "Software Dev I" class offered Jan 2012.

 

The core language of the program is Java.

 

There is a Facebook discussion group that anyone can join and discuss what it will look like:

... or I'd be glad to discuss it here as well.
