[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]As someone in industry, I would NEVER ADVISE any kid to pursue any sort of engineering program (and CS sits in engineering schools) to go to a program that isn’t ABET accredited[/b]. My company won’t even hire an intern from a college that isn’t ABET accredited so we don’t recruit or consider W&M  for internships.

I’m sure W&M is a great school just not for CS. [/quote]

I don't think this is true.  I work for Amazon Web Service (AWS) and we don't care where you get your degree from.  If you can pass the on-site interview, with actual real world scenarios, we will hire you, even if you graduate from WM.[/quote]

I'm talking first job out of college and internships. Once you have experience my compnay does not even care IF you have a degree. Degrees are not required for any job at my tech company.  However as far as recruiting for internships and on camups talent recruiting W&M does not even pass the first test which is ABET accreditation.[/quote]

So no students from Caltech, Stanford, Michigan, CMU for you? Okay then.  WM follows ACM guidelines--which makes a lot more sense for a non-engineering school CS degree.  I think you're showing a dated perspective.[/quote]
