My son was accepted to this program for 2010. So far he really likes the teachers, classes, and his classmates and is off to a great start. The UNL Computer Science program placed 100% of it’s graduates last year. We have encouraged him to get out and be involved with the rest of the campus.

IT is changing rapidly, and the college seems to be making a stong effort to keep up with new Agile technologies and an empasis on business.

We have also been very impressed with the colleges effort to expose the students to business leaders. He has had a chance to hear from Jeff Raikes himself (CEO of Gates Foundation) and Joe Moglia, Chairman of TD/Ameritrade.

The 2010 class is listed below.

So far we are very impressed and excited that he has an opportunity to be part of this program.
