Background Information on the CPATH Program

Through NSF's Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE), the Pathways to Revitalized Undergraduate Computing Education (CPATH) program is challenging its partners—colleges, universities and other stakeholders committed to advancing the field of computing and its impact—to transform undergraduate computing education on a national scale. The CPATH program supports efforts to meet the challenges and opportunities of a world where computing is essential to U. S. leadership.

The CPATH program envisions U.S. workers with the computing competencies and skills crucial to the Nation’s health, security and prosperity in the 21st century. This workforce includes a cadre of professionals with the computing depth and breadth needed to lead in a wide range of application domains and career fields, and a broader professional workforce with deep knowledge and understanding of critical computing concepts, computational thinking methodologies and techniques.

To achieve this vision, CPATH has awarded grants to colleges and universities to work together and with other stakeholders to formulate and implement plans to revitalize undergraduate computing education in the United States.
