“I love undecided students. I think they are much more honest and much more open minded,” says John Bader, an Associate Dean for Academic Programs and Advising atJohns Hopkins Universityin Baltimore, Maryland. To Bader and many in agreement with him, the student who bravely ...
The ACM/IEEE Computing Curriculum volumes weren’t going to be much help. They’re answering the question “What do CS, Software Engineering, Information Technology, etc. majors need to know?” They’re not answering the question, “What do students in liberal arts and sciences need to know...
How Much Do Extracurriculars Matter? One way colleges determine students' "passions" is by looking to see if they have connected the dots between their coursework and involvement in activities outside of the classroom. For someone interested in studying journalism, for example, that might look ...
A question I have is how this deals with multiple degrees as opposed to multiple majors. Does the same ‘too much work, not enough excellence in one field’ apply to those who are going into inter-disciplinary fields who may be seeking degrees in more than one field (IE a D....

There were 12 of them—six ocean-engineering students, four mechanical engineers, and two computer science majors. Their robot was small, densely packed, and had a large ExxonMobil sticker emblazoned on the side. The largest corporation in the US had kicked in $5,000. Other donations brought...
Marissa Mayer, an early product manager at Google, bet a coworker that she could train new product managers faster than he could hire them. This training program was known as the “Associate Product Manager” (APM). APMs were sourced from recently graduated computer science majors for a two-...
With so much information out there, aspiring software engineers can find it difficult to ferret out the valuable information from the rubbish. I know how it is because I’ve been there too. Needless to say, it took me a long time to find the answers that I needed. But it doesn’t hav...
The tuition cost of your program will usually be the largest factor in what you pay to study in the US. Tuition costs can vary greatly between different universities. For example, the price of earning a computer science degree at one university may be much more expensive than the same degree...
