Computer Applications Program
The Department has a close relationship with the Computer Applications Program (CAPP) in the College of Arts and Letters. CAPP, currently under the direction of Dr. Charles Crowell, was established in the College of Arts and Letters in the 1970's as a way for undergraduate students to enhance their liberal arts education through formalized training in computing and information technologies.
The program also has served to expose students to the broader impact of information technologies on liberal arts disciplines and on society in general, including the new ethical challenges these technologies introduce. Since its inception, CAPP has made a notable transition from a modest program providing only a few students with mostly mainframe-based training in statistics and research methodology to a full-fledged supplementary major, offering a vastly expanded curriculum to its majors.
Today, the mission of CAPP is to provide majors with an understanding of, and proficiency in, various facets of computing and information technologies as a supplement to their primary majors and as a springboard to further professional education or a career in a technology-related field.
