[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Recent swat grad I know found the computer science a little limited,. Don't know how much Haverford has, but it didn't sound like Swat could beef that up lot. None the less, he is currently working in IT.

my sister's good friend was a cs student at swat who now is in a very strong cs phd program at a top university that has many fans on these boards.

Swat CS is very theoretical and gives you a great foundation in algos, data structures, etc. Her friend readily admits there are undergrads that he TA's that could program circles around him, however the theoretical underpinnings of CS are taught well at swat.

Swat just expanded their CS department as well. It does a good job for a slac in placing grads at places like goog, msft, or amzn as well.

That said, it's never going to compete with a CS department in terms of breadth or research like the traditional CS powerhouses, however many students at places like that can be overwhelmed by places like that which turns them off from the subject. [/quote]

Isn't this thread supposed to be about Haverford?  [/quote]
