For Math/CS does prestige matter?

<p>

</p>

<p>It is not really about prestige in this case.</p>

<p>[Emory’s</a> CS offerings](<a href=“Welcome to Emory College.”>Welcome to Emory College.) may look reasonable at first glance, but [actual</a> CS offerings each semester](<a href=“http://www.mathcs.emory.edu/classes-semester.php?subject=CS&year=2011&term=1&graduate=0]actual”>http://www.mathcs.emory.edu/classes-semester.php?subject=CS&year=2011&term=1&graduate=0) are more limited.</p>

<p>As far as prestige goes, employers looking for CS graduates will tend to recruit locally and travel to schools well known for CS. In both cases, they will likely go to Georgia Tech before they go to Emory; an Emory CS student will likely have to seek out many of companies to apply to rather than see them in the career center. For math, note that many of the better opportunities for math graduates are in the finance industry, which tends to be rather more prestige conscious.</p>
