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?"

    Yeah, dude. Come to Virginia Tech. We're expanding our CS program, and we just moved from the College of Arts and Sciences to the College of Engineering, where we get better backing and more funding. We'll take care of you.

    But only as long as you're paying tuition. After that, you're on your own, and if you're lucky you'll get a low-paying dead-end engineering job at a big company.

    Don't go to VT's engineering program (or any other school's for that matter). Change majors to something better, like business, law, plumbing, or skycapping.
