Participants explore the significance of specialization in computer science programs and consider factors such as tuition costs for in-state versus out-of-state students.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant lists Washington University in St. Louis, Columbia University, and Rolla University as notable institutions, questioning the importance of specialization in computer science for a bachelor's degree.
  • Another participant seeks clarification on the acronym "CIS."
  • Some participants suggest that CIS refers to Computer Information Systems, while others mention it could also mean Computer Science.
  • The University of Missouri in St. Louis is mentioned as a potential option for consideration.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the importance of specialization in computer science programs, and there is no consensus on the best colleges for CIS in Missouri.

Contextual Notes

Some assumptions about the definitions of CIS and its relation to computer science remain unresolved, and the discussion does not clarify the specific criteria for determining the "best" colleges.

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
