@2toplace People are not aware of the fact that employers don’t make the distinction between CS, SE and Computer Engineering, and I am guessing applicants aren’t aware. My older daughter graduated with a CPE degree last year and now works for Apple, did not make a bit of difference for recruiters.
On Gonzaga, I have a colleague at work originally from Portland who started his college at Gonzaga some years ago and then transferred to UW since he learned most Gonzaga graduates at the time would start their careers in Spokane, which he did not like. Things might have changed since then, but there is something simple you could do. Go to linkedin and lookup how many graduates from Gonzaga work for big tech, compare that with CalPoly while adjusting for how many people are in the CS related majors. That should give you some sense of how attractive the school is for employers. I don’t know anyone with a Gonzaga degree in CS, doesn’t mean the school is not good though.
