How's the Computer Science program at Temple?

Hi everyone,

I’m currently a CLA major at Temple. I’m thinking about switching to CS or IST – and was hoping someone in here might have experience with the undergrad program. I looked at the rankings and the grad program is barely ranked in USNews. Is it rigorous? Are profs good? Most importantly: are job prospects good? Do any good companies recruit here?
I have really good grades and could get into some relatively prestigious programs (USC, UMD, etc). Would I be better off at those schools?
I like Temple and staying would be easier and more convenient in many ways. But at the same time, I do want to make sure the program I am graduating from is good quality and provides good employment opportunities.

Thanks for your help!

dont know, why don’t you contact dept and ask them to have some students contact you? don;t have to mention above but if you can contact kids in this dept, that would be best. or you may know some students or one of your friends does since you are already at Temple.

what are the costs of various schools? Usually best not to pay tons more because another school “might” or “could” provide better job prospects. just another thing to consider.
