Hi, which is the best school for computer science between University of Miami vs NYU engineering talking only academics wise?
How do employers view NYU computer science (inside the engineering school now that it fully merged to NYU)?
I was going to make a joke about the pizza eating rats in NYC subway system…but have you narrowed it down to those two schools only? do you have others on your list?
Employers will hire from each school. Where do you want to live afterward? NY or FL? How much can your family afford? Are you in-state for FL?
What is your home state?
My options are limited because i already have a degree and not all schools accept second Bachelor students. Michigan, usc, carnegie mellon does but i dont think i would get in. What does it change if im in state since both schools are private? Neither school would help me financially because its a second degree. From what I understand, NYU is considered stronger than miami overall, however, i would like to know if that applies for computer science as well? Im only eligible to apply to NYUs engeeniring school and a lot of people say its not the same level as NYU. How is the computer science is each program viewed as? Do you think theres more computer science opportunities in NYC or its the same as MIami?
Thank you
You’re right. I forgot this Miami (the new one) is a private U. You will be able to find a job out of either one. Why are you going for second degree? Particularly in CS when you can develop those skills outside of a degree? Have you taken any coding courses at a local CC?
Erin’s Dad brings up a good point. If you have some kind of STEM degree, a CS or software engineering certificate would be all you need. Something like the following.

There are also Master’s programs in CS or Software Engineering for those who already have degrees other than a CS degree. They basically run you through all the CS courses that an undergraduate CS major would take, but you don’t have to take all the extra general elective-type stuff.
