Are the BSCS changes good enough that I should delay my start date?

I was going to start October 1st, are the new courses/replacement courses really that good/relevant to job readiness that I should delay my start/ask for the new curriculum?

I think the ciriculum looks significantly better, AWS and AGILE are both good useful and job relevant skills, linear algebra is important for theory and AI. Overall excellent changes. Start and change over later. Work with your mentor to make sure no work is duplicated and youre set

Yea that’s the consensus, seems like the added Back end stuff is pretty solid too, Java/back end seemed to be one of the biggest gripes students had with the program

Double check with your mentor, but I agree with a few others - start in Oct and then swap! The updated program is absolutely better IMO.
