Computer science at Wake?

<p>I've applied Early Decision to Wake Forest. I've got interests in either Accounting, Finance, and Computer Science. I know they've got a top business school, but I've heard mixed opinions on their CompSci school. Do they have a solid program, or is it incomparable to similarly ranked schools?</p>

<p>Hi!</p>

<p>Unfortunately I do not know much about the Computer Science program here at Wake. I have some friends in it who seem to enjoy it. It does not seem as challenging as Accounting/Finance are, but I believe it is pretty well respected. I took an intro class and I found my professors (lab and class) to be very helpful and intelligent. </p>

<p>Many kids here do a Mathematical Business major paired with a Computer Science minor. That may be something that you would like to look into (or pairing a different business major with a Computer Science minor). </p>

<p>That being said, you can’t go wrong with Wake for business.</p>

<p>Any other thoughts? I heard the business workload is ridiculous and I definitely don’t wanna go through that if my main interest was CompSci</p>

<p>I do know the number of students in the computer science major is relatively small. This means you get a lot of attention from the professors and are essentially guaranteed to do research with the professor of your choice. (At least what I’ve been told by friends in the department). </p>

<p>Check out the department’s website: [Welcome</a> | Wake Forest University Department of Computer Science](<a href=“http://www.cs.wfu.edu/]Welcome”>http://www.cs.wfu.edu/)</p>

<p>They have some good info on what graduates are doing, what research professors are doing and how you can get involved.</p>

<p>CSC here is not as hard as it in CMU, but still challenging. If you love CSC, don’t hesitant.</p>
