[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My concern with CS at William &Mary is that it is not well established, as it is a new program.  I think they are building their own school, but that won't happen until next year.[/quote]

CS at W&M has been a thing since at least the 90s. It's definitely very established, although I would also make the argument with a fast moving field like CS that being newer is not a detriment.[/quote]

CS at W&M has been a thing since the 1960s.[/quote]

Perhaps its just that W&M isn't really known for CS, even if they had a program for a while. I believe W&M is mainly known for its humanities.  In general, I don't think people choose W&M specifically because of their CS program(not to say that it is bad).  [/quote]

People who say WM isn’t known for STEM don’t know much about WM. [/quote]

Honestly, I'm trying to figure this out - is W&M known for STEM?  I honestly never thought that.  We're going to go to admitted students day next week so hopefully we will learn more.  [/quote]

Yes. Excellent pre-med, chemistry, marine bio, and geology, among others.  As had been mentioned strong physics. And my kid went to TJ and has some friends who went to WM for CS and thought the program was great. [/quote]
