The Consortium for Computing Sciences in Colleges, aka the CCSC, is a non-profit organization that promotes quality computer-oriented curricula, and the effective use of computing, in smaller institutions of higher learning which are typically non-research in orientation.

The CCSC consists of 8 regions. You have found the website for the Midwest region, which includes Eastern Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Western Pennsylvania, and Northern Kentucky.

The highlight of the Midwest region's activities is our annual Fall conference. In 2007, it will be held at Miami University Hamilton, in Hamilton, Ohio. For details on this conference, including the soon-to-be-released Call For Papers, please visit the conference homepage.

Details on how the Midwest region is governed are provided in our bylaws.

The Consortium supports activities which assist faculty in making appropriate judgments concerning computing resources and educational applications of computer technology. Because departments in smaller colleges and universities are usually small and not highly specialized, the Consortium also encourages the sharing of expertise, effective curricula, and efficient technological applications. The Consortium is concerned with the advancement of major programs in both Computer Science and Computer Information Systems, and with the use of computers in the Liberal Arts and Sciences. The conference program reflects the Consortium's goals and accommodates the limited resources for travel associated with member institutions.
