Letter from the ACM Vice-President Trends in Graduate Computer Science Education (Will They All Find Work?) This generation of computer science g r a d u a t e students enjoys the prospect of a strong demand for its services, but a "Ph.D. glut" some years down the road is a worrisome possibility. Computer science education must adapt to changing educational and employment patterns if it is to remain effective. These are among the conclusions I come to after leading a discussion by senior computer science educators, industrial employers, and ACM leadership, at an informal meeting held before the National Computer Conference earlier this year in Dallas. This letter is a summary of that discussion; I won't call it a consensus because the process of reviewing an earlier draft of this letter made it clear that on some crucial issues educational leaders are at variance on how they see the future. Here, then, is my view of the futare of graduate computer science education, guided by the insights of some two dozen people at a face-toface meeting, by the Conte-Taulbee reports on computer science Ph.D.'s.
