Hey guys,

I have a dilemma. I want to end up working in the computer security field, but most of those jobs are looking for a Comp Sci or related. Drexel offers a CST degree (Computing Technology and Security) in which you can choose a security emphasis. This degree seems more geared toward networking and OS’s (and obviously security), and less toward programming. I need some opinions on whether this degree would be applauded or frowned upon by potential employers, as it is from a top computer school and in a specific concentration. I sincerely appreciate all input.
