I’m studying both Business and Comp Sci at USC…I haven’t looked at rankings or anything of the sort for comp sci specifically…Viterbi is known to be a great engineering school and Marshall is definitely a great business school…It depends on what you want to do after you graduate. If you plan to stay in the LA area, USC all the way. If not, CMU is probably better. USC has high prestige value especially in LA (and are actually tied with CMU in the college rankings by US news) If you want to focus on business more then USC for sure. They have a CSBA (com sci/ business admin) dual degree that is amazing and seems to fit what you want to do perfectly. Either way there is going to be a lot of studying done. Viterbi is really really hard and requires a ridiculous amount of time studying. Just my thoughts. (I’m a current usc student and am biased haha but USC is a great school and I’ve enjoyed it tremendously)
