CS is useless meme degree. Information Systems is so easy a middle schooler can do it and you can Markey yourself way better with it + self taught programming knowledge than just doing CS.
>>51497916
this, I have to take a few CS classes for my EE degree and every class I've taken in CS I learned far far more through google searches while doing HW than actually listening to my professor or taking notes.

>Professor jokingly tells students to heckle non-CS students at CS career fair

Their CS department is really elitist and while I understand that the faculty is super talented, I wouldn't say they're the best at teaching CS to people who aren't already familiar with programming. I also got scared away and did engineering. Literally took me years to recover from my fear of programming.
>>51499318
What school?
>>51499320

Post useful Engineering degrees you useless retard
Least im in the top 100 of this claims-to-mean-anything website.

but it literally is
Why do you consider your school so great?
>>51499334
Yeah, the CS department are about as arrogant as any higher education grouping can be, although some teachers like Regis and Blank are really cool. I stopped at CS143; math is more practical and I wouldn't have gotten in anyway
>>51499341
Discrete math and algorithms. Feels good. You?
>>51499362
Because it produces over 30% of the volume of legitimate published papers, and is home to the top professors in quantum computing, machine learning, cryptography, complexity theory, language theory and optimization theory in the world, as well as hosting a plethora of extremely well-known professors in other areas of CS. Additionally, the CS program being offered is a legitimate CS path and not one of those muh db muh webdev muh programming degree mills and the placement rate is over 90% after a BSc.
>>51499469
>muh volume
But has anything of value actually come out of your uni?
>>51497297
public schools are shit for k-12,
universities are amazing though for whatever reason. Although you can find some shit colleges in the US as well.

Yes. Carnegie Mellon.

Math at Texas A&M so kinda.
Didn't even go uni because I couldn't afford it and had to look after my mum. Its a shame I've always wanted to work in programming and have been self teaching myself stuff for years because I enjoy it but I will never get hired without a degree. Im forever going to be stuck doing minimum pay jobs.
>Technion
I studied there for 2 years. It's bullshit. Wound up just applying to jobs afterwards, complete waste of time.

College dropout here, working at a pretty big company and getting paid $95k/yr full-time and $40/hr as a consultant.
I'm only 24 years old, though. I'm sure I could have been making more if I didn't go to school at all and just went straight into applying. School is a waste of time, all my co-workers that have gone to uni are mouthbreathers and spend ages diddling themselves over a solution instead of working on it.

I'm taking cse 231 at MSU and I can tell you the whole program is a fuck show
I always knew my home state uni was hot trash
I guess it being among the most retarded states of any year was a good hint though
Yeah number 3 here
>anons think that a "highly ranked uni" is bound to be good and that makes them good
>not checking out courses taught beforehand
Shit guys, I went to a pretty small university in Greece and now doing my MSc in the country's largest uni.
Large unis are for networking and creating connections, my "small and nonexistent" university actually had better professors and we were not 100 people stacked together, so that made it a better and more personal experience overall.
You're not your university but higher education is as valuable as you want it to be.
>>51503464
as you make it out to be*
>>51498002
actually homework is the moment you learn the most
imho there should be no exams, only homework
>>51499738
Nothing beside the single most important papers in the areas listed that literally pushed the field a decade ahead everytime after it fell into a rut.
>>51503497
This pretty much, although you can't know if someone is copying someone's work so they may not be as good for qualifying.
>>51503464
This. The fundamentals of a CS education is the same everywhere. You too can get the same education as the top schools simply by studying the same textbooks as they do.
>>51504900
Kek.
>tfw 46
Top Kek if we're fucking 46 I don't want to know what's going on at other schools
Yes, number 11.
One huge advantage of "top" CS schools is recruiting. I go to a highly ranked state uni, and every major company attends our career fair and has a designated campus recruiter. Most of them send down engineers to do on campus interviews (much better for differentiating yourself than phone calls).
I know plenty of self-taught programmers and CS majors at lower tier unis who are more qualified than me but get rejected from interviews with the same companies.
Don't get life advice from /g/.
>Bachelors from Technical University in Prague (Czech Republic)

This makes me feel good knowing im working towards a degree with good grades, had an internship and am working on some personal projects.
Best of luck to you anon

There should be an exit exam. Maybe face to face with each student individually.
>>51505608
I'm in an IS program now and have completed all of the same programming courses that CS majors take at my school. The only difference is that I also take business and design courses on the side while they have to take mathematics and algorithms courses that still don't teach them how to make decent applications.
Stay mad CS majors.

>>51506138
Enjoy your forbidden, timeless computer knowledge or whatever. I'll enjoy making the same salary as you.
>>51506142
Because IT is an actual field which has actual demand, unlike CIS. They do learn to program, though, since that's a major part of their job.
>>51506156
You make 6 figures 1 year out? Wow, I'm impressed.
IS majors thinking they are gonna be anyones boss is hilarious.
Also these idiots think they know cs cause they took some programming classes about data structures and they used a linked list in their app

However, if you've got the chops, there are more interesting schools you can go to such as Stanford, Berkeley, MIT, and some of the Ivies.

In my case, the only tangible differences between the requirements of the CIS I completed and the CS I switched from was that there was less required advanced math, and more of a software development focus.
