US computer science enrollment drops 18% in two years
New enrollment figures show the number of students studying computer science in the United States has fallen 18% over the past two years, reversing the field's long post-2010 boom. Commenters attribute the slide to the uncertain tech job market and fears that AI could shrink entry-level programming roles, though the data itself documents only the decline.
Why now: People are debating whether AI and a weak tech job market are deterring students from computer science degrees.
