<p>im currently enrolled in Baruch as a freshmen, want transfer to a college that has better courses for computer programmer/software engineering. Anyone know which Cuny/Suny is good way to go? Thank you.</p>
<p>SUNY Stony Brook by a mile. SUNY Buffalo is a distant but decent second.</p>
<p>I don’t know anything about the CUNY system.</p>
<p>Here is a list of the CUNY programs -</p>

<p>You can also search the SUNY site for programs:

<p>FYI-
USNWR (2008) ranking of engineering programs (What I have does not break it down to major other than engineering):
RANK:</p>
<h1>57 SUNY BUFFALO</h1>
<h1>70 SUNY STONY BROOK</h1>
<p>Buffalo is known for it’s engineering programs and they are quite impressive. They are in the midst of building a new engineering building and expanding the dept. Generally speaking, SB is more highly ranked as a univ. but not for engineering.
Hope this helps though I can’t imagine you can go wrong with either of these. I don’t see any other SUNY or any CUNY on this list.</p>
<p>^ What you say is true, but Stony Brook is an outstanding school for computer science and mathematics.</p>
<p>Noimagination-
Absolutely true!!! I was just giving USNWR rankings. They are interesting because there are many schools not in the general USNWR top tier that are in the top tier for engineering!!</p>
<p>UB and Stony Brook, as already mentioned. Which of the two is better? I couldn’t really tell you. I might hazard to guess UB, because of its size (which usually is accompanied by money), but I know a lot of people who go to UB, and overall, it doesn’t sound like a very good school. Of course that may be comparing it to higher-tier private schools. Among SUNY/CUNY, I hear UB is great for engineering.</p>
<p>Although UB might have a higher overall engineering ranking, the computer science department at Stony Brook (which is in the college of engineering I believe) has an excellent reputation. Here are the Gourman rankings for undergraduate computer science programs (Stony Brook is 15th):</p>
