POTSDAM â As technology becomes more engrained in our everyday lives, there is a growing need for expanded computer science in our nationâs schools. Now, SUNY Potsdam is answering that call by launching a new Bachelor of Science degree program in computer science education, leading to initial K-12 certification in the in-demand field. âThis new program draws on SUNY Potsdamâs long legacy of leadership in both teacher education â dating all the way back to our founding more than 205 years ago â and in computer science, as one of the first SUNY campuses to offer degrees in the field. We canât wait to see our computer science education graduates go on to inspire young people and open up more pathways to success, starting early,â said President Dr. Kristin G. Esterberg.
