[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is weighing these three options for computer science. I love JMU, but I think he'd have more job prospects coming out of one of the other two schools. Help me give him some pros/cons or factors to consider to make an informed decision. Thanks! [/quote] Look at the coursework for all schools carefully. Ie make sure DS understands what classes might have to take. Mine went to an engineering school that required B's in language courses, he stunk at languages. He was not interested in taking two semesters of for example Spanish. The school did not let AP or and one opt out. Just an example. Make sure DS is accepted directly into the program not to matriculate after X number of class credits and gpa requirements. This is super important. Make sure there is another major they would like that they can transfer to if their GPA is below 3.0 after one or two semesters. I know this won't happen check it anyway to be safe. Any choice is fine for jobs it's getting through that is harder.[/quote]
