[quote=Anonymous]It's a strong CS program of the type that is outside an engineering school. One great thing about it at W&M compared to some other universities, is there is only the one program so there's not the choice of CS in engineering versus CS in arts and sciences (like UVA).  Also, you just declare it as your major--you don't have to be accepted into it.  It's currently a very under looked option--though of course you have to have the stats to get into WM, and you have to be strong enough across the board academically to make it through core classes outside of CS.  I think the major investments they are making into CS and data science, which are building on the investments they made in their integrated science center are going to make it a much more popular option soon.

I think there are a few directions for CS majors in the future now that AI is eating up basic programming/development--either they go into the more intensive  technical AI/machine learning/engineering route  or they link CS expertise with a data content area expertise like medicine, public health, international policy, environmental science, government.  William & Mary is never likely to produce the top people in the former, but they are likely to be top-notch in the latter.[/quote]
