I am finishing my BS degree coming this January.
My CS Degree is mainly software engineering oriented...
Starting my BS in Computer Information Systems in a couple weeks, I assume that is the same as Software Engineering.
It covers DB design,PL/SQL,C++,Java,Systems Analysis and Development,Software Engineering,OOP,VB,Internet Applications,Networking and few other sofware/computer related courses. And ofcourse all the other required classes Like Eng,Acc,Mat,Bus and Humanities like Psycology,Sociology,Origins of Western Culture...etc.
The course i'm doing is here:

On your courses what do you think would the ratio of practical to theory be?
You do realize that on completion, it is required by law that you denounce VB as not a programming language, and hang out with pale, skinny C++ programmers (as opposed to slightly less skinny and pale VB programmers).
Is there such a thing as a skinny programmer?
The courses you will be taking seem ok. I didn't really see any specific languages mentioned though. I assume they provide the IT job for the 3rd year? Seems kind of odd that you have to pay them to let you work for some company.... Ofcourse a degree like this is better than nothing by far, but It won't hold water against a Bachelors in an employment situation...Atleast that's my opinion.Quote:

The course is a Bachelors.Quote:

The language that the course does is C++. Yep, they send you off to a business, get paid for it by the company as well :).
Well it said 4 year degree, but does it offer the other courses like Communications,Business,Accounting,Math, Humanities etc..?
That's what I ment by bachelors. I didn;t see those type courses mentioned. It seemed more like a technical degree than an actual college degree.
But that's cool atleast they pay you for working that year :)
Hmmm, where do you live? Think our Uni courses (England) must work differently than yours.
In the UK, you can have a Bachelors degree in a purely technical subject, ie my degree has only CS modules.
Ya, I took one once, a long time ago....
but they made me put it back. :(
