My son was recently accepted to Shippensburg and University of Pitt for Computer Engineering. He does not qualify for scholarships at University of Pitt. He’s in the top 10% of his high school class.
Because of our finances, we can’t afford to send him to Pitt unless we go in tremendous debt. Does anyone on this forum have a child who has graduated or is attending Shippensburg for Engineering? How is the program? Do they help with internships/co-ops? I am so stressed about this and really need some feedback. Thank you
Information about co-ops should be right on the Shippensburg website. If your son can’t find it, it’s OK for him to contact the department and ask. Likewise, it is perfectly OK to contact the Career Center and ask for information on where graduates of this program have been hired in recent year.
The Shippensburg program is accredited by ABET, so it is fine academically. Don’t worry about that.
Assuming that the student wants to stay in a computing-based field (computer engineering, computer science, software engineering), as these are the only ABET-accredited programs at Shippensburg.
