RedbirdDad, I’ll second m0m0f3 in that my D is a '16 E w/ Computing major at Olin and appears to be extremely well-positioned for post-graduate success as a software engineer. She will probably not have had as many pure CS courses as a straight-up CS major would get at another school (Olin has no Algorithms class, for instance, which is a bit unfortunate), but it seems to be enough for her to thrive in industry. She was choosing among three quality internship offers for this summer (and, frankly, could probably have generated more if she’d accepted all her interview offers), and is now at Microsoft and feeling very well prepared for the project she’s working on. And it really can’t be emphasized enough how awesome the PGP office at Olin is in bringing great companies to campus and coaching students in how to successfully navigate the internship and job hunting process. They’re nothing short of spectacular, in our experience.
And of course the full Olin experience gives its students a set of skills beyond their specific discipline that I think are of great value. We have zero regrets.
