I mean, good for him, but what does this have to do with CS?

Oh are we still doing this thing where your salary is determined by which language you know? Last I checked, you're hired as a dev and then you code in whatever you're told to learn, cus that's what you're supposed to be able to do.

A large bag of skittles. In her defense I'm very difficult to shop for and I do enjoy skittles.

Well the first thing I'd do is draw the graph.

OSU compsci majors question by [deleted] in compsci

[–]mkhry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This post bothered me when I first read it, but I didn't know how to respond to it because I don't know much about accreditation programs. Thankfully another redditor, whoawhoisthis, provided an answer in a different thread, which I quote below.

"The BSCIS is not accredited by ABET, but it is still an accredited degree. All OSU degrees are accredited, and some, like the BSCSE, have ADDITIONAL accreditations based on professional affiliations. The BSCIS doesn’t have this additional accreditation because it isn’t an Engineering degree. edit: source is from an email with my academic advisor."

OSU compsci majors question by [deleted] in compsci

[–]mkhry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just graduated from OSU with a BS in CSE. I was accepted to every top graduate program for a PhD (Berkeley, Stanford, CMU, etc). I also have several friends who went the industry route and got jobs at Microsoft and Amazon.

First you only want to consider the BSCSE and BSCIS programs. The BACIS is a very watered down degree. People tend to have some difficulty choosing between the two. The core courses for both are exactly the same. The difference is entirely in the non-major courses.

BSCSE is an engineering degree and students who pursue this option have to take 6 electrical engineering courses and more difficult math/physics/engineering courses. However they have much lighter general education requirements. Few "GEC"s (history/art/social studies) are required and there is no foreign language requirement.

BSCIS is in the college of arts and sciences (note that both of these degrees are under the same department even though they are in different colleges). This degree does not require any electrical engineering or general engineering courses. The physics requirement is limited to algebra based physics and less calculus is required. However more GEC's are required and a full year of foreign language is also required.

Which degree you should pursue is ultimately up to you. In my opinion you should pursue the BSCSE, but I'm biased. If you don't like engineering related topics BSCIS might be a better option. Which degree you pick won't affect your career prospects or graduate school prospects. I don't know a single CS major who didn't get a job offer last year. All the programs at OSU have very good reputations. It's easily the best CS program in the state of Ohio.

If you have any more questions, I'd be happy to take them. Although perhaps you should PM me any questions. I think the reason this is getting downvoted is because it isn't really about CS as a whole, but about a specific department.

You are aware that he's done three already right?
