University of Michigan drops specialized application for computer science major

Original: UMich computer science no longer requires specialized application as demand steadies

The University of Michigan has ended its requirement that students submit a separate, specialized application to declare a computer science major, moving to more open admission as demand for the program steadies after years of rapid growth. The change is expected to make it easier for students to enter one of the university's most competitive and popular fields of study.

Why now: The policy change affects many students at a highly popular program whose competitive admissions have long been a source of concern.
