ABSTRACT

ACM first published recommendations for undergraduate programs in computer science in 1968 in a report called “Curriculum '68.” The report was produced as an activity of the ACM Education Board, which since then has been providing updates to recommendations for computer science programs as well as recommendations for other academic programs in computing.
