[QUOTE="jasonRF, post: 6253516, member: 192203"] I will try to answer some of your many questions - I am an electrical engineer so don't know as much about the CS world. But you need to provide some more information if you want useful advice. First, what are your objectives? You write that you have no prereq's in CS or Engineering - have you at least taken some physics? If so, how much? Do you have any programming experience? Can you take at least one or two CS classes before you graduate? Not sure what you are asking. Clearly a tiny fraction of the 20,000+ students graduating with math degrees each year end up at BU LEAP or Tufts CS postbacc. For some jobs there will be a disadvantage, but there are also plenty of jobs for which it is no disadvantage at all. I've worked as an electrical engineer for 20+ years and most of the engineers I work with are not PEs - it just isn't required for many electrical engineering jobs. I am not in that field, but I doubt it. I know plenty of successful programmers that have no CS degree of any kind. Many have engineering degrees, and some "just" have a math degree - which is why I am wondering what your objectives are. I have heard about BU LEAP before, and just glanced at the Tufts program. Yes, they are legit programs. Whether or not they are the best (or most affordable) way for you to meet your objectives may be an entirely different matter. What are your objectives? If it is to get a good programming job then it often doesn't matter. [/QUOTE]
