I know that these are very different schools, but which program has a better rep, internship opportunities and jobs in their respective areas (Clemson in Charleston, Charlotte, etc, OSU in Ohio and Bentley in Boston/NYC)? Clemson CIS salary out of college is $67.5 k, OSU is around 60 and Bentley is $65 k , so I guess that isn’t much of a difference, but Bentley is known to be a good business school in Massachusetts, while Clemson has a good rep in the south.
Both are cool, but I also don’t know which one has more coding. I don’t like a CS degree which is completely theory or coding, but rather a STEM degree with as much engineering/cs in it. JMU (VA) CIS and Rowan (NJ) MIS seemed nice, but they are ranked relatively low, and VA Tech BIT-DSS (which is ranked in nation’s top 45) doesn’t have as much emphasis on computing as these other, lesser known programs.
It sorta comes down to the tuition, but this is a very very minor dilemna for me (both offer little to no aid, so Clem and OSU will be cheaper, but if Bentley has a better network and internship/job oppurtunities, I’m going there. Clem is better ranked for CS vs. Bentley too.)
