<p>Between Hunter and City College.</p>

<p>Hunter CS Program: <a href="http://catalog.hunter.cuny.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=15&poid=1948&returnto=1393%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://catalog.hunter.cuny.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=15&poid=1948&returnto=1393&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>City College CS Program: <a href="http://www1.ccny.cuny.edu/prospective/gsoe/computer_sci/dso-cs.cfm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www1.ccny.cuny.edu/prospective/gsoe/computer_sci/dso-cs.cfm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>If you went to a TOP college and majored in CS, how do these programs compare to that of your college?</p>

<p>First…</p>

<p>That “top college” stuff does not matter. At the end of the day (I know as a software engineer with 22+ years experience), CS fresh grads from the so-called “top schools” are sitting right next to the CS fresh grads from State-U who are sitting next to the CS fresh grads from the 2+2 programs…</p>

<p>…ALL waiting for me or some other senior lead engineer (from a State-U or 2+2 program mind you) to give them tasking…LOL</p>

<p>but I digress…</p>

<p>A typical CS program will have the following courses…</p>

<p>Object-Oriented Programming in Java or C++ 1 (aka Computer Science 1)
Object-Oriented Programming in Java or C++ 2 (aka Computer Science 2)
Discrete Structures/Discrete Mathematics
Computer Organization & Assembly Language
Algorithms
Data Structures
Theory & Organization of Programming Languages
Operating Systems</p>

<p>The CS electives are chosen from…</p>

<p>Database Systems
Computer Networks
Computer Graphics
Information Assurance
Artificial Intelligence
etc</p>

<p>Seems like BOTH programs cover pretty much the same topics.</p>
