@NJWrestlingmom nope never heard of Ramapo haha.
With the bit of research I’ve done on Ramapo it seems a very nice school. With regard to finding a job I think what I may do is get my undergrad from Rowan or Ramapo and then go to higher calibur school like Stony Brook, Lehigh, or Penn State maybe. I don’t doubt that you’re right, I may be able to get a good enough job from Ramapo, but I’m kinda of wondering why these other schools’ starting salaries in Computer Science is just so far more.
Ramapo - 42700
Rowan - 47100
Penn State - 78091
Stony Brook - 61110
Lehigh - 78100
For Master’s degree from respective schools, the average goes up by about 5,000 for each of the above.
So if I go to Ramapo and then instead of getting my master’s from Ramapo, I get it from Lehigh, the change of increase is:
(78100+5000) = 83100 for a master’s from lehigh
as opposed to 42700+5000 = 47700 for a master’s from ramapo.
So the investment would earn me perhaps 35,400 more?
