- So excited about this conversation
and what you're building at Lewis
with these CS plus X programs.
- When I picked a major back in
my senior year of high
school going into college,
I picked it based on sort of practicality.
What I really loved to do was write,
but my parents thought,
"Well, you probably should go
"into something that had
better job potential",
and so then I decided to major
in electrical engineering.
You know, and it paid off,
but I had to decide between
my passion which was writing,
and studying something that would lead
to a better paying and more surer job.
It would be great to not have
students make that choice.
That's what we have tried to
do with these new offering.
So our four programs are CS
plus music, CS plus theology,
CS plus political science,
and CS plus history.
- Any next steps advice
with how quickly CS is moving in general?
Advice for other institutions?
How they should position,
and how they should evolve
their CS programs today?
- I think that computer science
programs need to be open
to the fact that yes,
there is tremendous richness
in the discipline itself,
but also be very open to the notion
of serving other academic departments.
Yes, train your own majors,
but also play a role in
helping all students achieve
some sort of computer literacy.
