Tulane University to Reduce Engineering School

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the in-the-wake-of-disaster dept.

baldbobbo writes "According to University President Scott Cowen of Tulane University, the School of Engineering will be greatly reduced. I have to wonder, as a student who can graduate in May 2007 (the deadline for those students to still receive a degree in any of the cut majors) with a Computer Science degree, but wants to stay an extra year, should I transfer to another university, graduate on time, or switch majors?"

    Real CS nerds would come up with an O(nlogn) algorithm to decide what to do given all the circumstances (input - n, is the number of circumstances, output is 1 or 0 - to change major or not to change major).
