No, but ULL, shockingly of all places, does.

UL Lafayette has a really good Computer Science program, or they did when I was there. I don't really know anymore. Better than out of state tuition.

That's interesting you say that about GT. My Brother works with EE and says the GR engineers are arrogant and don't know what they're doing.

Yea - in the late 90's when I was in the program, they were considered the top program in the south and one of the top programs in the nation. I don't think they're at that level anymore but they're still pretty good.

Finally, forget about school rankings. Where do you want to work and for who? Most graduate programs get a large majority of their ranking from where their students go. Ga Tech is a solid program, but they are also in Atl and place a ton of their students into good jobs in Atl. If you don't want to work in Atl, its not necessarily worth going that route. That is just an example, but there are plenty of times when smaller programs are just as good if not better for more localized employers.
That’s complete and utter horseshite. Tech places graduates in jobs around the world. One of the reasons why our attendance at football games sucks is because a lot the graduates end up working elsewhere, me being one of them

CSC was shite at LSU 16 years ago.. it's worse now ?

That's what I hear. Yeah it wasn't great around 2000 either. Basically they don't teach anything worth a damn in the real world. In recent years they tried aligning with training for whatever relationship they have with ibm. Everyone I've interviewed from there doesn't know shite. The few professors I've spoken with either were so bad at English I don't fathom how anyone could learn anything, or they didn't seem to have any real knowledge beyond being a teacher of a cirriculum.

It's not that SLU isn't a decent school, it is. It's just you SLU graduates create a big damned echo chamber yapping about how great you think you are. I guess it's because whoever is running that program over there keeps telling you guys how great you are. You all run around talking about how great SLU is with no reason other than all SLU grads say so.
For me, as a manager dealing with lots of different developers, the problem is this; the best thing about SLU developers are you're just consistently not terrible or bad. They're always good coders but never as great as they think they are. And they're always squaking about how great they are.
Good thing they don't teach you guys to use Google. Otherwise you'd figure out pretty quick that depending on what research you're reading, you're about the same as everyone else. And you're never "the best" school.

In the late 90s at LSU if you could get a CS instructor who had actual industry experience, it was worth it. Everyone else, not so much. Of course, they ran all those guys off.
As far as the circle jerk over best in the state, no one cares, especially after time in the industry.

I was in CS at LSU in the late 00s. It was awful. So many of my peers left the program for other areas of study. When my scholarship money nearly ran out I switched majors because I wasn't going to go a dime into debt to take those terrible classes.
The earlier classes were extremely easy but I felt like I wasn't learning shite.
Later classes became extremely difficult with Indian teachers who I couldn't understand and expected us to be at a way higher level than the earlier classes prepared us for.
At a certain point I was in a class with Kundu, the biggest piece of shite professor I've ever had, where like a fourth of the class had already failed it and was retaking it, and halfway through the semester most of the class was failing and completely clueless as to what was going on. One class Kundu gets frustrated and basically tells us during the lecture that we're lazy and not applying ourselves like Indians do back in India and that's why India will surpass the United States. Yeah, that happened.

I have a CS degree from La Tech. From my experience, how you interview and what you know is much more important than where you came from. I have friends from both Tech and LSU working at Amazon as engineers, among other companies considered elite. I didn't have a problem getting on with a good company in Boulder when I left Louisiana. It's more or less about the individual I guess is my point

I heard about Kundu doing shite like that. Yeah frick that guy. They should keep guys like that out of undergrad. It's just not relevant to 90% of undergrads who just want to get out and bang out some shitty Java or .NET for a living. Keep him teaching people advanced data mining and machine learning.
I've noticed we get better developers who came out of the ISDS curriculum from that same period.
But back to the OP. Unless he comes up with a "for what reason I want a masters in CS" then mobody can really help him. Better be good at deciphering an Indian accent if you go to LSU homie.
