[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP - I think it is honestly a very good program because it is not part of an engineering school and so students also have to take part in the liberal arts curriculum. I also believe it is now ranked higher than Mason's CS program[/quote]

It is not higher than Mason CS. [/quote]

On USNWR it is.  And they are investing a lot into it.[/quote]

Maybe but kind of splitting hairs here.[/quote]

The point is that W&M has made investments that have allowed them to overtake a much larger school known for CS[/quote]

And they were ranked higher before those investments have actually been put into place--they got that ranking with under 100 CS grads a year.  It will be exciting what they do with more money behind it.  I think this is such a smart move on their part because so many people don't realize how good of a school it is in terms of career outcomes in addition to rigorous academics.  I also think it will also help with any drifting they have towards a female-heavy gender imbalance without having to lower admissions standards for males.
Now to be fair, the student body at WM are top-notch, high stats students--we'd expect grads to do well in any program.

And I'm also a big fan of GMU though--think it serves the widest range of VA students the best.[/quote]
