The Consortium for Computing Sciences in Colleges (CCSC) is a nonprofit organization divided into ten regions that roughly match geographical areas in the United States. The purpose of the consortium[2] is to: "promote, support and improve computing curricula in colleges and universities; encompass regional constituencies devoted to this purpose; and promote a national liaison among local, regional and national organizations devoted to this purpose." Predominantly these colleges and universities are oriented toward teaching, rather than research.

Regions

[edit]

CCSC regions include:

  1. Central Plains
  2. Eastern
  3. Midsouth
  4. Midwest
  5. Northeastern
  6. Northwestern
  7. Rocky Mountain
  8. South Central
  9. Southeastern
  10. Southwestern

Conferences

[edit]

Conferences are typically held annually by region, and include presentation of peer-reviewed papers, as well as student papers, posters, and programming contests, workshops, and special sessions for innovative assignments and approaches in the area of computer science technology and education.[3][4][5]

Journal

[edit]

CCSC publishes the Journal of Computing Sciences in Colleges,[6] containing the proceedings of each annual regional conference. The journal is distributed to approximately 600 faculty members from 350 colleges and universities.[7]
