How good is SDSU’s computer science program compared to LBSU? Would it be worth it to spend $10,000 - $20,000 more for SDSU since I would be able to commute to LBSU? And how impacted is the computer science major? I would have to transfer into it, as I am currently under business administration.
Both are ABET accredited so the curriculum is comparable. You could do a side by side comparison of the classes to see if one of the schools has more courses of interest. My son is a CS major at SDSU and is very happy with the program. He was also accepted to CSULB but costs would have been the same since he had to live on-campus for both. Only difference was the social aspect of SDSU and the SD area for him. You cannot go wrong with either school so I would save the money and consider a semester abroad instead.
