ABSTRACT Computing in the Arts (CITA) is an interdisciplinary Bachelor of Arts degree program, which integrates computer science with art theory and practice. We present a 6-year study that explores the impact of the CITA degree on broadening participation. We find that CITA attracts a different student population than traditional computer science degrees. We find that it attracts and retains almost twice as many female students as a traditional computer science degree. Finally, we find that it graduates approximately equal numbers of female and male students. The CITA curriculum maintains its strong computer science character, as it contains several core computer science courses and traditional upper-level computer science courses. We introduce the CITA curriculum model, which combines computer science courses, art courses and several structured synthesis experiences. We show that creating a CITA-like degree is fairly inexpensive, as the curriculum mostly reuses existing courses.

通过艺术计算实现计算机科学中的性别平等——一项为期六年的纵向研究

摘要艺术计算（CITA）是一个跨学科的文学学士学位课程，它将计算机科学与艺术理论和实践相结合。我们提出了一项为期 6 年的研究，探讨 CITA 学位对扩大参与的影响。我们发现 CITA 吸引了与传统计算机科学学位不同的学生群体。我们发现它吸引和留住的女学生几乎是传统计算机科学学位的两倍。最后，我们发现它毕业的男女学生人数大致相等。CITA 课程保持其强大的计算机科学特色，因为它包含几个核心计算机科学课程和传统的高级计算机科学课程。我们引入CITA课程模式，结合计算机科学课程，艺术课程和一些结构化的综合经验。我们表明创建类似 CITA 的学位相当便宜，因为课程主要重用现有课程。
