Baylor CS questions

Hello! I was admitted to Baylor for CS and am trying to decide on a school. Right now it’s between Baylor($50k) and Northeastern University global scholars($80k). I have some questions about Baylor and it’s CS department

  1. Are the professors good at teaching their classes? I’ve read that they are a hit or miss.

  2. Is the CS curriculum bad or outdated. I’ve also seen that the professors publish very little research, and as a result have very old methodologies.

  3. Are professors approachable? Are office hours required?

  4. Is Baylor CS more theory based or applied?

  5. Is it possible to get internships or even co ops at Baylor? What resources does Baylor have to help with this?

  6. Is there anything else I should know about Baylor or Baylor CS.

Thanks for the info! Will probably have other questions.

I think all schools have hit and miss professors.

I can’t answer your questions but here is the Baylor career page. Hopefully it opens up to CS.

They had 27 reporting - and most finding roles.

You might ask to speak to a student ambassador in the CS program - to get your other questions answered.

Can you afford Northeastern? It’s a $120K difference.

Baylor has the religious aspect - does that bother you?

Good luck.
