[quote=Anonymous]One GMU grad made a gazillion dollars in Silicon Valley, then came back to fund venture capital in the Dulles Corridor.  The Wash. Post did  a story on him.  Believe is or not, GMU is no. 6 in the country for computer science and the employers know it.  https://blog.profitbricks.com/top-computer-science-programs/.  We have a child there now (living on campus with all the international students and out-of-staters - definitely NOT a commuter school except for the Master's and Ph.D. sutdents) and have been extraordinarily pleased with his instructors - many of whom come from the Dulles Tech Corridor and teach for the love of it.  DC has a paid internship at the Serious Game Design Institute of Mason in Manassas this summer and second DD has a paid internship at Oracle.  No other University is feeding the massive growth of Tysons and the Tech Corridor and Mason has done a brilliant job of coordinating the Dulles companies with Computer Science, Engineering (a huge department!) and Game Design to both service the needs of the companies as well as give their students paying work while still on campus.  Go check out the names and companies on the Board of Trustees and the individual executive advisory boards of every department if you don't believe this.  And, no, before someone says it, I'm not in marketing or PR for the university - that charge gets SO old.[/quote]
