[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are the benefits to being a computer science major at a small liberal arts school versus being a computer science major at a bigger university where you might be in the engineering school or the school of arts and sciences depending on the university’s options. Does either generally fair better in terms of getting jobs or into graduate programs after college? 
Looking for knowledge to help my high school junior in their college search. Most likely wants to major in computer science or maybe computer engineering and minor in business/economics . Thanks for any advice in this arena. Strong academic student with high gpa and high tests scores which they will be able to submit anywhere. [/quote]
Let me take a different tack with this: the first step is getting in. If this is a DS (80% chance, which is the point), [b]he is negating any SLAC admissions advantage he might have — as a male — by framing an application narrative around the stereotypical male intended majors.[/b] If he has any other interest which he can demonstrate, alongside CS, which is non-stereotypical, he should do so. This is true for private national universities as well — only less true, as the gender imbalance tends to be less extreme. State flagships are of course a different ball of wax, where you might have to formally apply as a CS major from the get go…[/quote]

Men should not say they are interested in “stereotypical male stuff” (never mind that they are actually interested in it) but should instead pretend to be interested in creative dance or something just to game the admissions system. Real galaxy brain take there. 🙄🙄🙄[/quote]
