document: Recruiting and retaining women in undergraduate computing majors This paper recommends methods for increasing female participation in undergraduate computer science . The recommendations are based on recent and on-going research into the gender gap in computer science and related disciplines . They are intended to work in tandem with the Computing Research Association 's recommendations for graduate programs to promote a general increase in women 's participation in computing professions . Most of the suggestions offered could improve the educational environment for both male and female students . However , general improvements are likely to be of particular benefit to women because women in our society do not generally receive the same level of support that men receive for entering and persisting in this field
