Whatever happened to the Computer Sciences plan at UMPI...

[ecdw94]

From this and the sister forum had understood that UMPI was going to add a Computer Sciences degree, had it authorized by January 2023 and where going to start in August-September if the Brightspace migration was done, which is the case.

Any ideas on what happened to those plans?

That was a bunch of people making a great deal of assumptions based on very little info. No where has UMPI ever stated that they were going to offer a CS degree in YourPace. They want to expand the YourPace offerings over time. When people started those threads, UMPI was in the processing of starting their on campus CS program which was brand new.

The move to Brightspace was supposed to take place over a year ago. The move was delayed due to student feedback.

"The major will be offered both in a live modality and UMPI’s competency-based YourPace programming"  - https://www.maine.edu/board-of-trustees/...042220.pdf

But its a 5 year plan. So, theoretically we should see something before 2026.
