<p>Second topic I have posted so far, and still hoping to some responses to my first one (<a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-admissions/463393-importance-standarized-tests-standards-etc-commonapp-org.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-admissions/463393-importance-standarized-tests-standards-etc-commonapp-org.html&lt;/a&gt;) - Yay for me!</p>

<p>Now, whilest they are all unique in their own way... what is in YOUR opinion the 'best' school for computer- and technology-like educations?</p>

<p>And which ones for - don't really know how to call it in English - business-like- thingies... so marketing, director of a company, etc. </p>

<p>Sorry for the trouble,</p>

<p>Best computer schools would probably include UC Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon, MIT, Stanford, Caltech. </p>

<p>Not as familiar with business schools, but the number one business school is Wharton, at UPenn.</p>

<p>Just note, it's very difficult to get into all of these schools.</p>

3

<p>You should consider Carnegie Mellon's Tepper School.</p>

4

<p>University of Pennsylvania has a dual degree program that is pretty tough to get into but it gives a bachelors in technology and business (from Wharton). It is called the Jerome Fisher Program in Management and Technology. There are more details on the website.</p>

<p>Edit:
I don't get it, if I reach a bachelor in "bachelor of science in computerscience", I can pick one of the following academic masters:
<a href="http://www.cs.cmu.edu/education/graduate/masters/:%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.cs.cmu.edu/education/graduate/masters/:&lt;/a>
Masters in Machine Learning
Masters in Language Technologies
Masters in Robotics
Master of Science in Information Technology in Robotics Technology (MSIT/RT)
Masters of Science in Information Technology, Specialization in Very Large Information Systems (MSIT-VLIS)
Fifth Year Masters Program (CSD)</p>

<p>@ rest: thanks for the help so far :)</p>

<p>Sorry for the 'spam', couldn't update the post above.</p>

<p>MIT for sure</p>

<p>computer science---> Stanford smokes out all else.</p>

<p>You shouldn't worry about a Master's for now. Later, once you discover what fields in particular you like, then you can choose where to specialize.</p>

<p>^^ Actually, if you're interested in CS, CMU and MIT "smoke out all else." MIT's Sloan School of Management is amazing as well.</p>

<p>CMU's Tepper Business School had a 15% acceptance rate last year and has only recently started marketing itself as of 2002, so only good things can happen. I would go with CMU/MIT for top CS and business programs.</p>
