This report lists the colleges and universities known -- or at least credibly
believed -- to have adopted Ada as a "foundation language," at CS1, CS2,
or CS7 level in their computer science (or similar) curricula. I choose
to keep track of precisely these courses because they are taken by
students in either first or second year, and thus early enough to serve
as a foundation upon which to build a large portion of the undergraduate
software curriculum.
This data is, for the most part, verifiable, based on first-hand reports
from the teachers of those courses. In a few cases, publishers' textbook
adoption data was used. I would like to keep this list as complete and up to
date as possible, so please let me know of any additions or corrections.
