[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What STEM offerings does UMW have?

With a lot of demand for CS/CompE and for Stats/Data Science, having strong offerings in that area would be worth both UMW investment and also marketing.[/quote]

I'm a CS/Bio double major who graduated in the early 2000s (hope I'm not outing myself here...). I thought the CS program at that time was pretty rigorous but very theoretical - perfect for someone like me who was more interested in biomed computational research, but maybe not so great for someone looking to go more the engineering side. At that time, there was no data science offering, however the beauty of MWC was that someone like me could work with the department and get the course offerings that I needed. I took classes that were technically a part of the econ and math departments. I did something similar for my bio degree, as there was no biochemistry offering at the time, but a few of us banded together and they put together a course for us.

As for research, proximity to the DC area helps - lots of internships and partnerships with NIH and area universities to do research either in the summer or throughout the year.[/quote]
