Undergraduate Computer Science Major at Emory

<p>How strong is the CS program at Emory? Is it reputable? How good are the CS professors?</p>

<p>Pretty bad. If you want a computer science major, I suggest that you go to a school with an engineering program.</p>

<p>If you have the stats to get into Emory, you can get into schools with much better computer science programs. Course offerings are fairly limited for a school of Emory’s size. If you want good comp sci in Atlanta, go to Georgia Tech. Emory’s science strengths lie in traditional pre med fields of study.</p>

<p>That (understandably) sucks. At least Emory has the Dual-Degree Engineering program with Georgia Tech. I’d bet that a B.S. in CS from Emory and then an engineering degree from Georgia Tech would be a great combination regardless.</p>

<p>Would you get good financial aid at Emory?</p>

<p>Even if OP would get good financial aid at Emory it’s still not worth it IMO. Someone with the stats to get into Emory could likely get merit aid + preferential financial aid at schools which actually care about their computer science department. </p>

<p>And ExpendableAsset, the 3-2 program generally isn’t worth it, unless you’re a Georgia resident (HOPE scholarship)</p>

<p>trex792: No, I would not get “good” financial aid at Emory. I’ll have to borrow at least around $10-15,000 a year.</p>

<p>whenhen: Understood. Thanks for letting me know.</p>

<p>Are you from Georgia?</p>

<p>No, I am not from Georgia. But I do know a few things about Georgia Tech and Emory.</p>
