Hi. I am a future international graduate student trying to pick between Texas A&M and University of Texas Austin. I want to study computer science. I am a web developer looking for hands on practical training on mostly programming languages, machine learning etc. I also want to be recruited by a top tech giant.
Any ideas?
UT Austin.
I look at their computer science departments (UT, A&M and UTD, these 3 have biggest CS programs in TX), nearly 70 tenure-track faculty members in UT, 41 in A&M, and 53 in UTD. Also more CS research found in UT than UTD and A&M. so I think UT has the biggest perhaps also strongest CS program in Texas overall. A&M’s and UTD’s CS/CE programs are also pretty top in the nation level from these data.
UT Austin is far superior for Computer Science, and you will enjoy it more also because it is in the heart of a major city with lots of things to do, and no need to have a car to get places. Due to the location, you can also find local internships.
