It has been identified that the first-year experience is crucial to student motivation and throughput of study programs, therefore it is interesting to look at the state of the art of computer science study programs in Norway. This data is part of a PhD project and relates to Study 1. In this study we present a survey and study of the number of undergraduate computer science programs in Norway and map their characteristics in order to gather an up to date overview of the selection of programs. Through a systematic review of all Norwegian undergraduate programs using data from national databases we have found that there are 12 institutions offering 56 different programs in Norway in 2018. The study showed that the characteristics of these programs vary, that is, the amount of computer science courses during the first year, the number of students, admission requirements, student satisfaction and time commitment. This article presents these findings along with an analysis of what characteristics impact the students’ contentment and learning experience.
