Abstract

This mixed-methods study was based on 35 online surveys and 11 follow-up telephone interviews of undergraduate female students enrolled in online or traditional face-to-face computer science/technology programs. The purpose of this study was to determine if differences exist in perceptions and attitudes toward the field of computer science/technology between these two groups. Three accredited not-for-profit Midwestern universities offering either online or traditional face-to-face programs in computer science/technology participated in this study.
