This paper describes the implementation of Peer-Led Team Learning (PLTL) in the first two introductory programming courses at Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi in an attempt to attract and retain competent computer science majors through cooperative and active learning sessions. Preliminary results suggest that the students participating in the PLTL program are directly benefiting from the learning experiences facilitated by the peer leaders.
