[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What market isn't saturated?

Also, this is why it is so hard to get admitted to a CS program -- they aren't expanding the seats to meet student demand unless there is market demand.[/quote]
UMD CP actually halved the CS class, but I think that was due to too many students who are not ready for it being interested in it, and wanting to keep the classes more intimate.  UMD is also developing its AI/ML programs.

Job market is cyclical, but low level IT jobs have all been offshored.  The big thing now is AI and ML, both of which are related to CS degrees.  Some colleges are now starting to offer AI majors. That's the next big thing.[/quote]

UMD may limit seats to increase demand for their program, but they are not adjusting to match the job market. Schools could care less about that.

I know UMD CS grad this cycle who does not have a job, including from previous internships. Planning a gap year abroad teaching English.[/quote]

CS departments limit seats because the field is so lucrative they can't get people to teach for a professor's measly wage. [/quote]

Yep. Same issue has occurred in the Nursing field for years. Shortage of nursing professors.[/quote]
