My S will be attending A&M in the Visualization department this fall. He plans to minor or double major in CS. Although one could try to duplicate the Viz program curriculum at UT, it would require a lot of cross-college classes in RTF and Visual Arts and likely some finagling to pull it off (taking upper level courses in a different college from one’s major used to be very challenging to arrange, back when dinos roamed the campus…not sure about now). From what we’ve read and heard, Viz at A&M is a way-cool program! For a regular CS degree, however, I believe UT is ranked higher, although the overcrowded aspect might be worth investigating and considering. Perhaps the number of students accepted into the major each year has been recently reduced.
