UCF is ranked 23 in the nation for IT, ERAU-DB is in the 70s for engineering (ERAU DB software is EAC-ABET accredited), but which program is stronger and better for jobs, quality of ed, etc.? I was also considering RIT for software, and is it a good program also? It was ranked better for Eng than ERAU-DB. I’m not going to ERAU for AE though.
FSU IT for me is out (although ranked higher) because it is in their communications school, not Eng/CS school. It isn’t CAC-ABET accredited either like UCF.
IT is usually a less technical major for those who want to go into managing computers, rather than designing computers and software. However, UCF IT appears to be somewhat more technical than many similarly named programs (which are often mostly business).
That’s the reason why I was considering it. It is ABET accredited (as was BYU-Provo when I considered it. Utah isn’t my place though.), but which program would you recommend for a better paying job? My end goal is to do a masters in cs or IT/IS and then join industry. Does ugrad matter after grad school?
