My daughter has been accepted by these schools and is looking to double major in Computer Science and Statistics. I am looking for advice as to which schools have a strong Computer Science program and will provide summer internships for CS majors as well as good career guidance/placement after graduation. Any info provided will be much appreciated.
Texas A&M has the strongest CS program with the best job placement. Companies from all over the country recruit at A&M. That’s assuming she got into CS program, which is difficult to do. It’s even more difficult to try to get in as an undeclared major. Not sure about summer internships.
UT-Dallas is the second strongest next to Texas A&M. They are in the middle of Dallas where there are a plentiful internships and job placement opportunities. The only downside is that it’s a boring nerdy school with zero school spirit.
Trinity is way more money than it’s worth for CS. I don’t recommend that school.
Thank you for your input. Very helpful!!!
Would for sure recommend Texas a&m. UT Dallas is not in the middle of the city it sits about 20-25 minutes north in richardson. Has a big commuter vibe and surprisingly a lot of international students.
