<p>I am trying to decide if I should transfer from Auburn to Georgia Tech. More precisely, I want to know if/to what extent a computer science degree from Georgia Tech is preferred over a software engineering degree from Auburn University.</p>
<p>Would a B.S. in computer science from Georgia Tech provide an advantage in finding a job over a B.S. in software engineering from Auburn? I probably (75%) will attend graduate school after my B.S. After obtaining a graduate degree, my undergraduate university will matter less than the university where I obtain my graduate degree?</p>
<p>If the advantage of Georgia Tech over Auburn is negligible, I will remain at Auburn and avoid paying out of state tuition at Georgia Tech.</p>
<p>My background: This is my first semester at Auburn. I have a previous undergraduate bachelor’s degree. I wanted to be at Georgia Tech this semester, but Georgia Tech mishandled my application and needed another semester to give me a decision. I started at Auburn because I didn’t know if I would ever be accepted at Georgia Tech. I applied to Georgia Tech as a computer science major because they don’t offer a major in ‘software engineering’. At either university, I would need about 4 semesters of courses to obtain a B.S. Recently Georgia Tech accepted me, so now I am trying to determine if a degree from Georgia Tech is advantageous. I appreciate any advice.</p>
