NSF support and community context

The Mission Aligned Programs for Computer Science (MAP-CS) project is supported by the National Science Foundation through coordinated awards and is embedded in an active computing education community.

NSF awards

MAP-CS is supported as a cluster of related NSF grants under the NSF IUSE program, with a primary award and two related awards that together span multiple institutions and co-principal investigators.

Program: NSF IUSE
Project title: Transforming Computer Science Curriculum Design at Liberal Arts Institutions
Project duration: Sept. 15, 2025 - Sept. 15, 2028.

Please consult the NSF award pages for the official abstracts and full public details of these grants.

SIGCSE and ACM connections

MAP-CS is closely connected to the broader CS education community through engagement with SIGCSE, ACM, and related working groups focused on liberal arts computing.

  • Engagement with the SIGCSE Committee on Computing Education in Liberal Arts Colleges and universities.
  • Contributions to SIGCSE conferences, workshops, and working groups that focus on curricular models, assessment, and institutional change in computing.
  • Alignment with ACM curricular guidance, adapted for mission-aligned liberal arts contexts.
