This federal Project Grant award, with a total funding amount of $1,954,865, was awarded on December 1, 2024 by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.070). The goal of this 3-year project is to implement a series of interdisciplinary computing majors (ICMs) at 10 large public universities across 8 states, with the aim of attracting students who are new to computing and broadening participation in the field. The project team will examine the implementation and impact of the ICMs, documenting the outcomes in a set of case studies to provide a roadmap of best practices for other universities interested in implementing similar programs. Key expected outcomes include an increase in the number of universities offering ICMs and a more diverse pool of career-ready computing graduates to meet the growing demand for computing occupations in the United States. The project involves sub-awards to 9 universities - Georgia State University, University of Texas at San Antonio, Cleveland State University, University of Minnesota, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Florida International University, University of Texas at Austin, and University of South Florida - to develop and study the implementation of 3 or more ICMs at their respective institutions.
