[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For engineering and CS, maybe it doesn't matter. But to do anything interesting in those other STEM fields, yes, you need a PhD, especially if you're headed into industry jobs.

I agree with your assessment, OP. My kid goes to one of those schools mentioned above. He is majoring in my field and getting a much better undergrad education than I ever did at my DCUM-revered state flagship. Better grad school admittance is just gravy.[/quote]
yes, that's why the SLACs are up there.  They don't have strong Eng/CS programs.[/quote]

True for engineering, though I was surprised to see that 18/50 schools on the CS list are LACs — a stronger showing than I’d have expected for that subject. [/quote]
I think students who go to schools that are weak in CS for undergrad are going to seek higher degrees.

I mean, you have 3 from Millsaps College (have never heard of it) going to get a PhD in CS.   Their student body is less than 1000, with a graduation rate in the low 60%.  You'd need a PhD in CS if you went to a school like Millsaps College for CS.

According to this site, there were all of 2 CS undergrad majors.
