Hello! Just wanted to know if anyone has experience with either of these programs at Brown? I am considering applying and want to know a bit more. Thanks so much!
If you search this forum you will see several old discussions about both departments. Then if you have specific questions, people here might be able to help you answer them. My daughter is a CS major and that program is excellent .
Have you peeked at the information online about the new engineering building currently under construction at Brown? It looks great and also, speaks to a serious commitment to that program.
Plenty of us know about these programs. Can you be more specific? And yes, you should search this forum, because many questions have been asked and answered.
Hi everyone! I’m thinking of applying with applied math as primary interest. Applied math and some other STEM subjects (including Computer Science) have a couple of specific questions, one of which is, ‘Please list the courses, including those you may have taken outside your secondary school, that relate to your chosen field.’. Will I be at a significant disadvantage if I have taken only one course outside my secondary school? Also, are we supposed to mention our freshman and sophomore math-related classes as well?
I’m an international applicant, so does my country’s standard curriculum count?
My daughter just graduated from Brown with a mechanical engineering degree. She is working as an R&D engineer in Northern New Jersey. She got a solid education and had opportunities to work for a professor doing interesting research. The program seems to have a good reputation and Brown is a good place to be in case, as sometimes happens, ‘plans change.’ I can’t get into the technical aspects, but the program is ABET accredited so I think that the coursework is pretty standard. There are not a ton of electives that you can take outside the major, but enough that you can pursue interests, whether in STEM, the humanities, whatever. Just anecdotally, Brown seems to be involved in a lot of interesting research and cutting edge stuff, so I imagine it offers a good opportunity for graduate work as well, but I don’t really know that much about it. As will all undergraduate programs at Brown, professors are accessible and available and more than wiling to serve as advisors, mentors, etc. Computer science at Brown is, in my opinion at least, indisputably one of the best in the world. Brown grads in both departments routinely get recruited by the likes of Google, Microsoft, Spacex, Tesla, any top notch tech/engineering company you can think of.
@jeffwingeratlaw i love the user name. are you a community fan?
@zeezeebee Oh god yes.
