I would have to agree with you on this one. I am going to look more into bachelor degree. This Saturday I have time.

The San Francisco Bay Guardian je napisao odličan članak o programu i mogućnostima koje su ponuđene ženama da se “umešaju” u CS (imamo i članak Ellen pokretača projekta).

Who could have imagined in the early days of ARPANET that computers and internet would be about social networking, online gaming, blogging, ecommerce and entertainment? We need our best computer scientists collaborating with experts in other fields, mostly in the realm of social sciences, to develop new insights and knowledge. I am not suggesting that the “old” computer science of operating systems, programming languages, database systems and networking is passé. Instead, my view is that we need to build on the foundational subjects to address the new research questions that have suddenly become important. I write about all this in my post, Computer Science with a Soul, that you may want to check out here... http://orbitchange.com/blog/2007/01/11/computer-science/ Inter-disciplinary computer science is needed not just to broaden the base of students coming into the field but also to keep it relevant.

I returned to school and got a 2nd undergrad degree (B.S. in C.S.). I did really well in the program but now feel limited in the types of Ph.D. programs I can consider due to attending a Cal State. Glad to hear you're addressing the critical need to provide a computer science program aimed at women. If I had only been able to ignore the hostile male geek environment when I was 18 I may have done it the first time around. I wish this program existed a few years earlier.
