<p>If a student were interested in studying computer science at Carleton, how would he or she fare in terms of employers’ demand for their services?</p>

<p>How much to do employers consider or desire Carleton grads with degrees in computers / computer science?</p>

<p>I did find this link through google. I am still interested to know the responses from this community.</p>

<p>My basic question might be : compared to other schools , say UIUC, UW-Mad, how do the computer opportunies at Carleton fare? In other words, IF one were more interested in a job in computers in four years, better to go to a UIUC or Carleton?</p>

<p>I can’t speak to relative job opportunities so I’ll let others address that, but Carls are characterized by intellectual curiosity, a thirst to learn. Some survey a few years ago asked kids why they chose the college they did. My recollection is that jobs and career planning didn’t show up in the top 5 reasons at Carleton, although they were high on the list for many schools. </p>

<p>So whether or not the job opportunities are the same among the schools you listed (and as I said, I have no info there), you should also consider that mysterious “fit.” The different motivations of students at the different schools might matter to you.</p>
