Program in Interdisciplinary Computing

Welcome

The Program in Interdisciplinary Computing (PIC) empowers faculty and students to use computing and information technology instruction to innovate and lead within their fields.

To accomplish this, PIC assists faculty from across the University with the development, operation and promotion of introductory, interdisciplinary computing and IT courses by:

  • providing the computing infrastructure faculty need to offer the courses
  • collaborating with faculties from across campus to develop interdisciplinary courses for a wide audience
  • promoting interdisciplinary computing and IT instruction
  • enabling many academic units to offer computing courses their students need to get started

PIC is a collaborative effort involving many FSU colleges. Faculty representatives from across the campus form a steering committee that plays an important role in deciding what courses are needed at FSU and developing the objectives for each course. PIC seeks to take advantage of valuable domain knowledge from a variety of academic units to bring students the highest-quality relevant computer courses to meet their discipline-specific needs.
