@wally1688 Purdue is no10 this year but it doesn’t matter now that I’ve decided that it’s not worth the cost.
@PurpleTitan Why do you think an MIS degree is worthless?
I am thinking of doing a double degree in CS and MIS.
I saw a comparison between the CS and MIS and the main difference is that the Core Task for MIS is to determine business requirements for information systems and for CS is to deliver information systems to meet defined requirements. Hence I feel I will exponentially increase my worth in the mind of an employer if I know how to do both the things.
And of course, I can work in the US straight out of undergrad as part of OPT for 3 years without a work visa. After that, I will need a work visa(most likely an H1B) to continue working.
@MYOS1634 I will have CPT opportunities like Co-ops or Internships in all universities. UA also has what they call experiential learning which is more or less the same thing but it is a part of their 100% engagement initiative where everyone graduates with some kind of work experience.
Though a double degree will load me with a lot of course work, I still have the flexibility to chose in the future if I want to continue with it or do something else since other majors/minors like Entrepreneurship are also highly ranked in UA(#10)
