My daughter is thinking about doing a computer science major in college. We've
been looking over a lot of schools and I'm noticing a certain lack of
consistency in the way it's taught.
Some schools have CS as a separate major, while others include it under math
or engineering. A few courses appear to be consistent from school to school,
but the programming languages vary wildly.
I've found several schools that use Visual Basic. Others use Pascal. Most
include C/C++. A few include assembler, but most do not. I've even found one
that teaches COBOL.
Anyone have some thoughts about what ought to be included?
