<p>Would really appreciate if anyone could comment on the Computer Science (and/or Game Development minor) at Chapman. Love the school but would like to know how strong this particular program is and how much connections the professors have in the industry?</p>
<p>I got to spend time in a computer science class, meet with the department head and some CS students. CS degree has a lot of emphasis on math. I liked the department but was a bit concerned about internships and job placement. One CS student was interning as a data entry person. The gaming is in its fledgling stages but Chapman is doing its best to get into the mainstream in the area. I love Chapman but in my opinion the CS department is not as strong as I would like to see.</p>
<p>Hi Lucky12. My son was admitted for CS as well and, I fear, AZApplicant is pretty much right on. I can’t seem to find much of anything on the web about Chapman CS. So far, the only positive that I can get my head around is that the program is so small, I imagine there will be a lot of one on one with the profs. But that doesn’t necessarily translate into good internships and jobs. My son’s also been admitted to UCI (he declined), UCSD, CalPoly SLO and LMU. So, despite the merit scholarship he received from Chapman, he’s having a tough time moving Chapman into his top three, though he really likes the campus and atmosphere.</p>
<p>My recommendation is that you attend their program next weekend and ask some very hard questions of the administration. Good luck to you.</p>
<p>Hi Lucky, Based on what I’ve heard from a friend of mine who had a son graduated from the Chapman’s Computer Science program several years ago, was that, he had a solid education there and the professors took really good care of him. That’s the advantage of small class sizes. You’ll be able to graduate on time while other students from larger programs can take up to six years to finish. Apparently he had a job offer before graduation and landed with a company after graduation making over $100K because they value his skills and knowledge. I also heard that he is doing really well and now has his own business. Keep in mind that in any school, regardless of your field of study, it’s how well you present yourself. Are you a hard worker? Do you have a nice personality and able to work well with others? What kind of skills and experiences do you have? Are you able to apply your knowledge? So Chapman is well regarded. From what I hear, Chapman has a very strong school in Computational Sciences. Recently they also added a PhD program in Computational Science. Best way to learn more about their programs is to attend their Preview Day where you can speak to their faculty and students. Best of luck!</p>
