<p>How good is the Computer Science program at College Park? Also, how competitive is it to get in?</p>
<p>In a word, excellent, from all I have heard. </p>
<p>I don’t believe it is a LEP (limited enrollment program) so that means the level of competitiveness is based on admission to Maryland in general. </p>
