Quote:The Computer Science program is being developed with the goal of it being available to students starting with the 2025 Fall 2 session. That session is slated to begin on October 27, 2025. The program should be added to the application in June of 2025 at the latest. Once it is on the application we will be admitting students and moving them to the enrollment team.
So you're telling me there's a chance...

We should always keep in mind that the learning platform switch from Strut to Brightspce took about a year longer than when they said it was definitely happening in the next session. Just the fact that they anticipate CS through YP is huge, but as for when it actually happens is anyone's guess. If they do start taking applications in June, that would be awesome!

That begs the question. What do you think the odds are?

Haha, it's idle speculation on my part, but I would have expected more buzz by now if it were still scheduled for June. So I would guess less than 50% probability for the stated timeline, but I'm always happy to be wrong!
Also, sorry for taking over the thread!
