Reason for program recommendation request

New Program

Place of program in college's curriculum/similar program

This is a specific CS pathway. ELAC currently lacks a local CS specific pathway. 

List similar programs at other colleges in the Los Angeles Region

Computer programming is a large industry and a common discipline. I would expect that all other colleges in the region have a computer science discipline, programs, and pathways.
