In this research paper we describe a study that involves measuring the complexities of undergraduate curricula offered by computer science departments, and then comparing them to the quality of these departments, where quality is determined by a metric-based ranking system. The study objective was to determine whether or not a relationship exists b...

... order to get a sense of the variability that exists among the curricula of different computer science programs, consider the curriculum shown in Figure 2, which has a structural complexity of 84. The overall complexity of the curriculum in Figure 1 is more than three times as complex as the one shown in Figure 2. The question, then, is does this extra curricular complexity generally correspond to a higher quality output? ...
