When we discuss hiring - and posting stats regarding hiring and employer’s preference is discussing hiring - then it is important what employers view as prestigious, not Aunt Jane, your neighbor or the random dude on the street. Employers do know which programs are prestigious and SJState CS is a great example of that. It’s also a great example of the risk of going to a college that has one or a few prestigious programs rather than an overall prestigious college. If you finish your intended CS degree at SJState, you’re in great shape for employment. If you discover that you would like to switch majors, then you might find the other offerings as SJState are less prestigious for employment which is the point some posters are making about Hofstra. Calculated risk.
