[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]wonderful program that punches significantly above its weight, both in terms of quality of instruction and job placement. Not quite at the UVA or VaTech level, but i would definitely consider it a peer of UMD at this time - good luck![/quote]
? UMD is higher ranked than UVA or VA tech or GMU for CS.

What are you smoking?  Or you just hate UMD?[/quote]

I did not post that however I agree.

Here is why, jobs. The goal of college is to graduate and get a job. UMD does not do as good a job at this as George Mason does. A student at Mason also has better internship opportunities.

I hire a lot of graduates in this field. Mason kids are great, so are UMD students however if I had to tip the scale I would pick a George Mason over UMD. Mostly because of their better resume. Many have worked jobs prior to graduating from college they understand the work place. Lots of UMD students haven't worked at all except maybe an non paid internship.

? this year is a bit different, but just a couple of years ago, CS majors from UMD all had jobs lined up [b]before college[/b].  And UMD CS students do get paid internships.

If you go by jobs and pay, UMD > GMU.

I'm sure GMU is a great school. My other DC is looking at GMU for a different major, but, no ranking shows GMU > UMD.[/quote]
sorry, I meant "before graduating".[/quote]
