SUMMARY

The discussion identifies key institutions in Missouri for undergraduate Computer Information Sciences (CIS) programs, highlighting Washington University in St. Louis, Columbia University, and Missouri University of Science and Technology (formerly Rolla University). Participants debate the necessity of attending a college that specializes in computer science for a bachelor's degree, considering the financial implications of out-of-state tuition. The consensus suggests that specialization may not be critical at the undergraduate level, particularly for in-state students.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Computer Information Sciences (CIS) terminology
  • Familiarity with the Missouri higher education landscape
  • Knowledge of tuition structures for in-state vs. out-of-state students
  • Awareness of general computer science curriculum components
NEXT STEPS

What are the best colleges in Missouri for bachelor degree computer science programs? I've looked around and the main ones I see are Washington University in St.Louis, Columbia University, and Rolla University (Although they are called something different now, Science & Technology I think). But none of these (excluding Rolla to an extent) really specialize in computer science. For a bachelors degree, should I even be worried about colleges specializing in that area, or is it not a big deal at this point? I'm mainly limiting it to Missouri due to the tuition increase when you go somewhere out of state. Anyone have any opinions on this?

And what is CIS?
 
Computer Information Systems was my first thought.
 
Well, let's see what the OP says.
 
Computer Information Sciences is what I mean by CIS. I guess it is sometimes just CS for Computer Science.
 
University of Missouri in St. Louis
